Polly treated me to a 3 day weekend in Philadelphia for my birthday. We stayed at the Philly Palomar Hotel on 17th street- near city hall and Rittenhouse Square. Very nice boutique style hotel- only about 7 months old.
The big draw for the weekend was the Philadelphia Flower Show, the world's largest indoor exhibition of that type. This show has been going on annually since 1827- amazing.
Philadelphia is known for more than cheesesteaks, they have fantastic restaurants. We walked down Walnut Street and found a place called Max Brenner. Their motto is, "First Food, then Chocolate". Very fun place, no reservations needed.
On Saturday, we made reservations at Devon Seafood Grill, which fronts Rittenhouse Square. Very good service and food.
On Sunday, we took the Palisades Parkway back home, with its nice views of NYC. We stopped at the alpine center lookout and were amazed at all the snow they still have!
Great Weekend!
