Never a Dull Moment: 9 Best Things to Do in Philadelphia
Dalessandro’s
You can’t visit Philadelphia without trying one of their famous cheesesteaks. While there are tons of steak shops in every neighborhood, one of the most consistently busy and high ranking ones is Dalessandro’s.
Zagat-rated and once visited by “Tonight Show” host, Jimmy Fallon, there is no better place for tourists looking for the best cheesesteak experience. Try a traditional cheesesteak with onions or mushrooms, cheese whiz and selections from their free topping bar.
Yards Brewing Company
Philadelphia has a long tradition of craft breweries. Even a few of the founding fathers, like Benjamin Franklin and George Washington, had their own recipes for home brewed beer.
However, the brewery responsible for really reinvigorating the craft beer scene is Yards Brewing Company. You can take a tour of their facilities, visit their tasting room, or enjoy some beer with a selection of food truck bites on the weekend.

Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site
For decades, Eastern State Penitentiary was home to some of the most notorious criminals in America, including gangsters like Al Capone. Aside from housing famous inmates, the prison also boasts impressive neo-Gothic architecture and was the first official penitentiary style prison in the world.
Also said to be one of the most haunted places in America and possibly the globe, Eastern State sees an influx of thrill-seeking visitors during Halloween when they host their Terror Behind the Walls haunted house attraction.
