Hey /trv/, I'm going to be in Philadelphia for about a month soon and I'm looking for the best places to visit. Give me some places that aren't too touristy because I can look those up anywhere. I'm trying to find some good places to eat, dance, or explore.
Bonus points if they are aesthetically beautiful, cool, or interesting. Pic unrelated
Thanks

Mutter museum.
Philly Museum of Art(Rocky steps and go inside)
Sunny's Steaks Market between 2 and 3.
Well, if you're into running Forbidden drive by the wissahickon is a great place to go. along the trail you'll find old colonial-style structures and houses, people riding horses along the trail, old structures and bridges. its really fascinating and feels like you went back in time. every time I run through I find something new, just keep track of where you go and don't get stuck out there late.
old city has a lot of good food and aesthetically pleasing buildings. elfreth's alley is nice to see also, and there might still be a friendly couple that cooks cookies/treats for you to try out or purchase. Me and my girl found signs pointing towards them randomly but it was one of the best secrets I've found yet in Philly.
If you're more adventurous Graffiti pier can be accessed not far from fishtown, there might be a cop or two nearby warding off people from going in but me and my friend finessed our way through cause we wanted to take band pictures. lots of badass murals and graffiti there, but does give off some creepy vibes at night.
Everything else philly has to offer like the art museum, chessesteaks, city hall, events just go to visitphilly website. also, dont go too far into north broad.

Or too far west on Market Street. When you don't see colleges,turn around.
Thanks guys, know about any cool bars or clubs?

Joes then Jims are best cheesesteaks. Pats and Genos charge you for a good cheese steaks when its barely better than what you can get at the corner store
Not OP but since it's on topic I thought I'd ask
Going to Philly in a month or so and so far I have these things to do in mind
>Joe's for a cheesesteak
>art museum for obligitory Rocky picture
>Kelly drive behind the art museum is supposed to be pretty
>South Broad for shows/performances
>wander around Fishtown/Northern Liberties for good food and neat shops - also I heard good for drinking
>Ortliebs for live music and good tacos
>Reading terminal market - roast pork sandwiches apparently are delicious
>if I'm nearby I heard the squares and parks in downtown are worth a wander through
Is this a good start? Any specific good bars or good night life places? Also it seems Philly has a good food culture, so I'd love any restaurant recommendations

Seconding Mutter museum; it's amazing and the whole area around it is lovely
