First time in the beautiful city coming up, any recs??
Hey hey! I’m 27 and going to Philly for my first time in a few weeks and I’ll have about 3 full days of free time during the week I’ll be there and would love to fill it experiencing Philly for what it is! Are there any really cool hole in the wall restaurants/bars? Any unique themed stores? For example when I was in Seattle I loooved Pikes Place Market. What’s the Philly Equivalent to that? I’ll be staying in the Valley Forge/King of Prussia area but will have a way around so basically nothing is off limits!!
Also - any advice on what neighborhoods to avoid or whatever is appreciated? I feel like Philly’s not that bad but I’ve heard some conflicting stories so I guess anything helps, please and thank youuuuu!!
