Things to do in Philadelphia

[lukatmyshu]

I'm going to be in Philadelphia with some friends next week, from the 14th to the 17th, and I wanted to know if anyone familiar with the area knew of fun stuff to do. I know Google is my friend, but I hate wading through pages and pages of local papers saying "Check out this park" ... if I wanted to go to a freakin' park I'd find one here. Anyways, thanks in advance.

you can do a walking tour of such places as tomb of the unknown soldier, the liberty bell, the place where the constitution was penned, and a bunch of other points of history.

you can eat chinese food, philly steak sandwiches (whats the two places in south philly?), drink good coffee

Old city is boring. If you like boring historical stuff, check it out!!!

Hit up the clubs! Great clubs in Philly....I'm a regular at Egypt's Quest Friday's, although Shampoo has the best sound system I've seen yet.

South st is always interesting, lots of interesting shops and whatnot, and its got Jim's Steaks, a personal favorite of mine.

Like sports? Always a sporting event of some sort going on, be it pro or college.

And there is always somethin goin on at C3 in Drexel!

Tom Hanks & Antonion Banderas could show ya a good time.

Everything I would have mentioned has already been so. (Liberty Bell, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, etc.)
