Food Scene

The Dandelion is said to have the best burger in Philly - its the one that is a combination of different types of meat (might be the only one they have). It's an expensive spot that prides itself on updated seasonal takes of UK cuisine. And they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Parc is a French-styled restaurant that has a really nice outside seating area which views Rittenhouse square, but the weather will dictate whether or not you want that experience. It serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. This place is also expensive.

We like JJ Thai (on Chestnut in between 21st and 20th). Although, it is expensive.

Really amazing chocolate bar and restaurant all in one that's worth the price. Large portions and delicious flavors and options that make it a wholly unique experience. They even have a chocolate pizza with roasted marshmallows, melted peanut butter or hazelnut bits as toppings!

Run up and take photos at the same iconic steps Rocky Balboa trained on. The view from the top is pretty cool.

Essentials

The Sporting Club at the Bellevue has a swimming pool. They can do a 1 month membership but all their memberships come with a $75 joining fee that they don't waive. The monthly fee would be $112 so for 1 month it would cost ~ $187 per person. Unfortunately, I don't know of another option than this.
