1. Leave

I second that!!!!

But if you must stay, check out if anything is going on at the Kimmel Center or the Walnut Street Theater. Both are within walking distance.

Was at the Kimmel Center Rooftop Garden on Saturday night. The Kimmel Center is pretty amazing.

XJ pretty much has it covered. Just bustin' chops Dork....

I highly recommend Monks, I love the Belgian brews and mussels there. Nodding Head brewery is also a good place.

I think we're hitting So. Philly Taphouse when I'm down there next week. We hit Memphis Taphouse in Fishtown the day before turkey day, good stuff!

B)

Being from philly, i have some suggestions for food as I saw people mentioned buddakan. I ate there and feel it is so so. I highly recommend Amada which is located on chestnut between 2nd and 3rd. best food in philly! I realize this is a little late, but didnt see the post til now. If that is not doable, ask your concierge for a recommendation of a byob in south philly. They have a great restaurant scene in philly, especially small byobs that are run by old italians in there homes/converted restaurants. Good luck, also many great drink establishments!!

It's not a BYOB, but Villa Di Roma in S. Philly's Italian Market is very good. Love their Shrimp Scampi and Tortufo.

I know what byob means, just never heard it in the context of a restaurant. I guess they don't do that here on LI

lots of places are byob, they typically have stem charge on the wine glasses they let you use...

Is this just in Pennsylvania? I've never been to a place like that.
