Hi everyone, I will be in the city for this weekend and wanted to have a good time. Wanted to get some suggestions from the local forum people. Open to anything from AMPs to strip clubs! Any recommendations are appreciated :)

This is a place that I took my number one AMP girlfriend on a afternoon lunch date. I like the more obscure sites in Philly, anyone can go to the Art Museum. Issiah Zagar took a whole block at 10th and South and covered it in glass and tile mosaics along with sculptural junk displays known as the Magic Garden. It is closed to tours until April but much can be seen from the sidewalk. I highly recommend it for a quick stop as part of an afternoon tour of South Street. Plenty of funky shops and restaurants to visit. His design is seen on walls throughout South Street and scattered around the city.

I'll pick up on the snow thing for sledding, I like the Thomas Mansion hill and there are several great spots on the Walnut Lane Golf Course. After either place you can pick up some hot cheese steaks at Delesandros or Chubbies on Henry Ave.

Mutter museum, if you're into more morbid stuff.
that museum is actually fire, i was looking forward to a second visit before "the Flood" (yes i just made a Halo reference).
but the Mutter, the Art Museum, any of the museums really.
then there's the piers, if you're staying in the heart of center city, anything of eye catch is within walking or uber distance.

I have been there. I dunno. I didn't get it. Just kind seemed like some guy, who is clearly obsessed with his own penis, gluing a bunch of garbage on a wall and drawing doodles. I don't get why there is always a line out the door for it.

No offense to him, must be nice to make a fortune off it.

I took a hookup there because she insisted. The sex was good when we got home. So it was worth it.

Does anything make you happy? I don't think so. He did it for a long time until he was able to purchase some of the adjoining properties. He is not getting rich. I have never met a more negative member on this board to date. See you back in the political discussion, God forbid that you ever write a review.

I am not negative. I am realistic. I tell it like it is, its garbage glued to a wall.

Tons makes me happy! I love Philly and all it has to offer. That place isn't on the list
