Hi everyone.

i'm flying to the US on Saturday and have Sunday to myself in downtown Philly before work meetings on Mon/Tues.

Can anyone give me ideas on things that are recommended to give me a good Philly experience in just one day?!

Thanks

Emma

    It's cold as all HELL here right now. BUT if you really want to do the tourist Philly thing, there's the Philadelphia Museum of Art (Rocky Steps), The Liberty Bell Center which is right by Independence Mall, The Italian Market on 9th, Franklin Institute, Mutter Museum.

    Seriously though, just google Philadelphia Tourist and a TON of stuff comes up :smile: :drinker: Enjoy the city!

    yesterday was lovely and mild - we walked for ages and saw the LIberty bell and also caught the parade for Chinese new Year.
    Today it's freezing and snowing and half the people I'm supposed to be meeting haven't made it into town!

    We're off to Buddakan for dinner tonight - it looks lovely and I'm looking forward to it,

    I fly down to Miami tomorrow night so hopefully the weather will have eased a bit by then.
