Drinks & Nightlife
Classic German beer garden feel with a great outdoor space. They serve dinner too (kids allowed!) and have ping pong and foosball tables. If you want a Philly pretzel, have it here! Frankford hall gets very crowded at night--so either avoid it or seek it out if that's your thing!

Considered the best bar in Philly, probably because of their sweet concert venue upstairs. I recommend this place for a drink or a show...but probably less so if you're looking for dinner.

Sightseeing
This is a TINY museum, but one of my favorites in Philly because you can tour a 19th century battleship and a WWII submarine with the price of admission. It's also right on Penn's Landing, which is a fantastic place to walk around.
