check out boathouse row if you're gonna be at the art museum - they are right next to eachother and in walking distance. you also might want to check out the manayunk neighborhood of the city. its got a bunch of really cool bars and is definitely a good spot if your in your 20s.

to the poster that mentioned that his sister said nobody that is actually from philly gets cheesesteaks from pat's or geno's is absolutely wrong. people from philly usually ONLY go there or some other good spots. For the best cheesesteak in the city however, check out John's Roast Pork in South Philly i believe its right on Snyder ave. They are famous for there hot roast pork but their cheesesteaks are without a doubt the best in the city. They have limited hours however, and i think they are only open til 3:00 everyday, so get there early if you are planning on going.

If you are looking for a cool restaurant to go to I would also reccommend The Continental, as another poster had already mentioned. There are two in the city, but the Midtown one is much better. They have a really cool top floor glass room with indoor fireplaces. The food isnt too expensive either. Its supposed to be like a high end diner.

Also check out the screen in the new Comcast Center located on 17th and JFK. Its pretty cool to look at I believe from what I've heard its the largest LCD screen in the world. From there you can walk to Love Park and a little further to Reading Terminal Market for some amazing food.
