Fun in Philadelphia

I don't know where your friends are from, but I vote for Chinatown. Philadelphia's is small compared to New York or San Francisco, but there is a lot there and some of it is exotic, especially to people who don't live near a large Asian community.

Some trendier stuff has been happening in the past few years, they even have a place for dancing.

In Philly

World Cafe Live...
http://www.worldcafelive.com/
Bummer - closed to the public Monday Night

Food and Drinks in Old Philly – There are a few good restaurants. Some of my favs are:
Astral Plane
http://www.theastralplane.com

White Dog Cafe
http://www.whitedog.com/

Of course there’s always Manayunk – Parking is kind of a bitch – but shouldn’t be too bad on a Monday. It’s fun to walk down the main drag at night – a lot of the shops are open late and there’s a lot of cool bars and restaurants in a small area.

Particularly noteworthy is Sonoma (A great Martini bar and a good restaurant)
http://www.sonomarestaurant.com/

The Manayunk Brewery
http://www.manayunkbrewery.com
and
Le Bus (same people who make the breads)
http://www.lebusmanayunk.com/

There’s a lot more in Philly If I think of more I’ll post it later tonight…
