Eastern State Penitentiary It s on 22nd and Fairmount. http://easternstate.org/visit/special.ph��Pennslanding This is probably funner in the summer but it s still a fun place if you like to walk along the waterfront and look at the different ships.South Street -you ll probably like this place best. Go on Friday night or the weekend. You ll see a lot of guys your age there.Philadelphia Art museum-I don t know if this is historical to you but I love the Art museum. Franklin Institute-Fun science stuff. Really interesting.To hang out-The Gallery. (a lot of stores) Is the gallery still open? It s 10th and Market. I m not sure if it s still there, though.Italian Market is okay but go to Pat s or Geno at 9th and Wharton. Famous cheesesteak places. They re right across the street from each other. It can get really crowded. And there are a lot of coffee houses and quaint shops in that Italian Market area. Fairmount Park is a nice place.
Italian Market is a good answer also go down south street the night. Sushi on 2nd at South, burger at Johnny Rockets, cheesesteaks... theres more than just bars. Maybe Reading terminal for breakfast or lunch then go shopping around there, walk down to the gallery?
also, the philly zoo is great ...just take a take a taxi as it is in west philly
Try the Italian Market section in South Philly or Fairmount Park.
