A Short 5 Item Bucket List For Anyone Living In Or Visiting Philadelphia, From Your Favorite Local

In This Article:

Being born and raised in South Philadelphia is a source of pride for me and always will be. I pronounce water as "wooder," have an unending love for Wawa, and will gladly climb greasy poles when the occasion calls for it. Being a local I often get asked what there is to do in the city. Here are some of my must-see things that are guaranteed a good time

Go to the top of City Hall.

City Hall Tower Tour

For less than $10 you can go to the top of the City Hall tower and see the city from a panoramic view. Many people don't know about this because it's not advertised much but it's both a cheap and beautiful thing to do in the city!

Walk on Penn's Landing

Is it even summer if you're in Philadelphia and haven't been to Penn's Landing? Penn's Landing offers a scenic promenade along the Delaware River.

Go bar hopping in Old City.

If you happen to be taking a drive around the city on a weekend night, you'll probably encounter a 15 person bike with loud music and colorful lights causing traffic. Big Red Pedal Tours are often booked by partygoers to go bar hopping around the city. Under 21? You'll be the sober one steering the pedicycle.

Ghost Tour at night. 

Philadelphia is a city loaded with history in every nook and cranny. With all this history comes sightings of ghosts. Many tours focus on the haunted spots in Philadelphia and you may just get to see one for yourself.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
