In the Meantime
Ants Pants Cafe
An Australian cafe that offers a fiiiiiiine brunch - get the sweet potato fries as a starter, TRUST. Also BYOB!
Cafe Lift
Great BYOB spot to get your pre or post-wedding brunch fix. If they're super busy, put your name & number in with the hostess and run across the street to Prohibition Taproom for a drink while you wait!
Burrata
If you're craving amazing Italian, please come here & save me some leftovers! It's also - you guessed it - BYOB!
Laser Wolf
If you're craving the flavors of Israel in an upbeat, fun setting and don't mind sharing a bunch of exotic little bowls of dips and salads, this is your spot.
Lorenzo and Sons Pizza
The site of our first kiss and the best/biggest slice in town. So big, in fact, that a photo of one of their slices doesn't fit in the tiny box on Zola's website.
Jim's Steaks
If you're craving a late-night Philly classic. Pro-tip: wrap a slice of Lorenzo's pizza around a Jim's cheesesteak and voila: you have a Philly Taco. Trust us, you won't feel absolutely disgusted with yourself afterwards.... :)
The Franklin Institute
If you've got rambunctious kiddos (or are just a big kid at heart), this museum is more interactive than most and has plenty of cool exhibits to keep your attention.
Philadelphia Zoo
For all the animal lovers!
Urban Axes Philadelphia
If you have pent up aggression that you'd like to release or have secretly always dreamed of being a lumberjack, come to Urban Axes! Bonus: it's BYOB and BYO food!
Keystone Mini-Golf & Arcade
BYOB indoor/outdoor minigolf! Bring your own pizza! Need I say more?!
Eastern State Penitentiary
Was once the most famous and $$$ prison in the world, and now it's totally haunted by the ghost of Al Capone. Daily tours available.
Philadelphia's Magic Gardens
The Magic Gardens are a non-profit org created by local Isaiah Zagar - the space consists of indoor galleries and an outside mosaic labyrinth... all in all a beautiful way to spend an afternoon.
Destination Dogs
Not only does this place have INCREDIBLE hot dogs (as you may have guessed), but it's also a really fun bar with a great beer list, TVs for watching the game, and actual games in case you need to burn off the dogs. Cornhole anyone?
Double Knot
If you're in the mood for a swankier bar vibe, try Double Knot. They have weekend Happy Hour where snacks are 5 bucks, can't beat that! It's kind of small inside, so if it's packed, try Sampan or Graffiti Bar right next door (they have the same HH snacks!)
