Really good coffee here. There are a few Rival Bros around the city. All of them are good. This one is in the heart of Passyunk Ave. which is a foodie destination and avenue of cute boutique shops.

This place is HIP. If you're a coffee enthusiast, this is a must. If you get a guy named Tom as your barista, that's my friend! They also have a rotating mural wall that changes every few months so it's cool to check out who the artist they currently have is.

If you're going to do the iconic Philly cheesesteak, Pat's is the full Philly experience. Don't be swayed by the over lit, flashy cheesesteak spot across the street, Geno's. Don't go to Geno's. Go to Pat's. There's also a cool bar at that intersection called Garage that let's you bring food in and eat there. *Pat's is open 24/7 (I don't know who wants to eat a cheesesteak for breakfast but if you want to, they're open)

Parks & Nature

Just a short walk from the house, Rittenhouse is an iconic park in Center City that is surrounded by renowned restaurants like Parc and La Croix. A great place to take a break when hitting all the shopping on Walnunt and Chestnut Street!

Entertainment & Activities

There is so much to do at Spruce Street Harbor Park! It is right on the river front, so you can just hang out in the hammocks or enjoy a beer over looking the water. There is a mini boardwalk with games and arcade. Many food vendors, and a beer garden that sits out over the water. *This park is closed during the winter
