I love the ambiance of this place. Its quiet and yet has tons of activity. In the morning you can watch as the kitchen staff prepare for the days meals. The coffee is great and their frittatas are the best!

My favorite place in Chinatown. Just writing this makes me want to go there and eat anything on the menu. I mean anything. I have never had a bad thing here and the place is great. Try the soup dumplings and the chicken casserole.

My favorite place to get a donut is here. Plus there is all kinds of great things in here. We love to get a donut and coffee and sit and watch people in the mornings on Saturday. Then once it starts getting busy we will go to Iovine's and see what produce they have before heading home. They also have pork sandwiches, chess steaks, and all kinds of other food. You cannot go wrong with this place.

Take a tour and go to under William Penn's feet at the top of the building. Or just go hang out in the courtyard where it's quiet. Of course you can also go to the west side of the building where Dilworth Plaza is and watch kids play in the fountain during the summer of the ice rink during winter. There is always something going on at Dilworth park and you never know what will happen- maybe an impromptu concert by Stevie Wonder...

The Philadelphia Museum of Art is great. There is wonderful art inside and across the street at the Perelman. There is also beautiful are outside on the frescos and the architecture. Plus the view is spectacular on a clear day. If you walk up the steps- you must run because you're a tourist in Philly. Once at the top walk to the middle of the steps and look for the foot prints. You can stand where Rocky stood and look at this wonderful city. The statue is at the bottom on the south east side of the front of the building facing city hall. Then on the back of the building is the old water works area- great history you should look up. This is the start of Kelly drive which is a great walking and riding area of the city along the Schuylkill River. There are bikes you can rent both at the writ museum or at the waterworks.

Getting Around
Bike rental by the hour. If you want to do this, book ahead. You can get discounts by the month or week but you need a fob which comes in the mail. These are all over the city and are well maintained. The bikes seem heavy for my wife, but still fun.
