The ultimate date spot - this restaurant is literally a gigantic boat. Not cheap, but fantastic food, decoration, and being on a docked boat make this a wonderful experience if you're going for a special night out.

Beautiful park area along the coast. Hammocks, chairs, and lots of lights make this an incredible place to spend time on a warm evening. You can get local beers too and bring them back to your table or hammock. The docks to the side host an array of interesting ships and submarines.

Sightseeing

The Philly city hall is absolutely massive, and is truly the central point of the city. The building alone is enough to merit coming here to check it out, but it's also surrounded by other attractions, including a water fountain that kids adore, plenty of grass and seating for hanging outside, and a bar and snack station if you need to refuel.

There is a giant park and outdoor area leading up the the famous Philadelphia Art Museum, which is a great spot to check out if you're doing some sightseeing. Start at the bottom and walk all the way up to the art museum, where you can witness hundreds of people taking rocky-emulating selfies on the massive staircase.

The Italian Market is a beautiful neighborhood to walk around. There are always street market stalls lining the blocks, and streets so tiny that a single car couldn't fit down them branching off to the sides. Take a look around, grab some delicious food, and enjoy one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city.

Would any visit to Philly be complete without checking out Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell? This whole area is lovely to walk around - there are lots of old, beautiful parks and buildings. Just wander and take it in. Don't bother trying to go inside the liberty bell building unless you really want to - it's expensive, can take a long time, and there's a big window right next to it on the outside that you can use to see the famous bell.
