No reason to hit AC for casino's ... Philly has more than enough these days and minutes from Center City.
Hotels:
1. Sofitel on 17th. Awesome place and in the heart of it all.
2. Hyatt at Penns landing: Great spot to reach everywhere you can in the city quickly and also across 95 to be away from all hell breaking loose to have some space.
Steaks:
Pats or Geno's = Shit food for tourists. 99.99% of the local corner steak shops down here do a WAY better job.
*IF* you are local or know the Far Northeast: Steve's Prince of steaks is the ONLY place you need to hit to have the steak experience of a lifetime.
Attractions:
Center City on 2nd and market has some BANGING night life. Bars, food, clubs, all within a few blocks walking.
Chinatown at 11th street: Asian food from what americans call Chinese food all the way to the real deal.
Bonus: Chinatown is 1 block from the reading market terminal.
Fairmount: Hipster heaven. Lots of small places to eat, lots of micobrews and lots of skinny jeans wearing beatniks ... aka kids living on mom and dad's money. Assholes 99% of the time if you ask me. but, eastern state prison is there. INSANE tours of it.
Manayunk: River clubs, bars, pick up places. Meat Markets. all around great time if you are a player that likes to talk trash to MILFs / Divorcee's from the suburbs that their kids are with dad or grandparents for the night. I have partied my balls off in these bars there.
Tons more from being in the area. Get a rental car and GPS.
IF anyone does really go and wants some local tips, hit me up.
Really, other than that you are in the ghetto... and I've lived there my entire life other than the last 6 months in South Jersey to get away from being in the hood after 38 years.
