Time for Details!

With Philly fast approaching, I guess it's time to decide what I actually want to see and do.



Started out at the National Constitution Hall website. It appears to have all the bases covered.

So far, I'm leaning towards the Constitutional Guided Walking Tour. Seems to cover all the bases. Unfortunately, none of the evening tours fit in with the con schedule. There's also a 24 hour trolley pass available.

Our hotel actually has a pretty comprehensive Philly guide I just discovered while looking for airport to hotel info (There is a $20.00 flat rate on cabs to Center City Philadelphia.) They even have a beer guide [g] and there's a Chinatown in Philly. I didn't know what. I do know I want to have a meal at the City Tavern. Maybe an early Friday night dinner?

We arrive Thursday night, and leave Monday night, so I hope to squeeze as much as I can into the free time we have.

Go to Chinatown, but make it early so you can also get to the central market which is only a few blocks away. If I'm remembering correctly, the Central Market is on the front side of the Convention Center and Chinatown is on the back side of the Center.

I had one of the best diners there in Chinatown (great duck!) and if I could remember the name of the place I'd tell it to you, but it was just one of many little Chinese restaurants in the area.

You could do lunch and shopping at the Central Market, then wander around and have dinner in Chinatown.

If you've got a rental car (or a local who will take you) Valley Forge is just into the suburbs now, so you could go there as well.

Thanks for the tips! Roberta's bringing her car, so maybe we could convince her to take us to Valley Forge!
