One of the bigger museums with great art collection. Famous steps from the Rocky movies and the statue of Rocky Balboa is at the bottom of the steps. You will see people posing for pics next to statue. Please do not ask," Where is the Rocky museum?" lol

Good American Continental Cuisine with typical diner type food and other unique dishes. The building is an old mansion. Great ambiance, good service, portions plentiful and reasonably priced. Prefer going there on weekdays. Saturdays and Sundays there is a wait. Walking distance of apartment.

Old school bakery that has been part of South Philly for generations. They give you a tray and you walk around the store selecting the pastries and cookies you want. They also have an outpost at the Italian Market in Redding Terminal at 11th Street btw Filbert and Arch streets

I like the location near Rittenhouse Square the best out of the 3 locations because they also have very interesting and freshly prepared soups, salads and other food.

This place is infamous and you must take a walk through. There are specialty food concession stands like cheese, spices, meat, fish, produce and desserts. There are other spots throughout the market where you can sit down and eat a casual meal. For breakfast, I recommend the Downhome Diner and order the philly cheesesteak omlet. Amy's cookies and 4th street cookies get discounted to 50 cents and a dollar after 5pm shortly before the market closes. Delish! Baked fresh daily.

In addition to their Brick Oven Pizza ... they offer a full menu of Continental and Italian Dishes including Burgers, Salads, Wraps and entrees like Chicken Piccata and Grilled Salmon in a very nice and comfortable dining room. There is also a bar that you can sit at to have drinks and appetizers. Plenty of outdoor seating for nice days.
