What to Do
The City of Brotherly Love – one of the most, if not the most, historical cities in the country. But the birthplace of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness has way more to offer than just history. From culinary experiences that take you through some of the City’s most re-knowned areas to a myriad of cultural and artistic treasures – you’ll be wishing you stayed for the week! But if you have a limited amount of time here’s what we suggest…
*Grab yourself a cheesesteak at Pats King of Steaks in South Philly. We know you’re racing the next day but beef has protein! By the way do yourself a favor and ask someone in line how to order – you’ll be glad you did. When you’re done stroll through the ever famous markets of South Philly.
Pat's King of Steaks®
is located at the intersections of
9th, Wharton and Passyunk Ave.
at the base of the Italian Market in South Philadelphia.
*The Philadelphia Art Museum - A must see in Philadelphia – The Philadelphia Art Museum is not only a Philadelphia icon but a national icon thanks to Rocky….well atleast the front steps are. Warm up for race day with a light, must do jog up the Art Museum steps. This magnificent museum has so much to offer there is perhaps no better place to begin an “art lovers” tour.
*Walk in the shoes of our forefathers – Independence National Historic Park is America’s most historic square mile. From the National Constitution Center to Independence Hall to the Liberty Bell you will take a step back in time and experience the sacrifice, celebration and awe of our country’s evolution. |
