Philadelphia trip suggestions
Hi, all, I'm staying on Dock Street in Philadelphia Saturday-Wednesday and would love suggestions on nearby restaurants and bars to visit.
I'll have a car, but I would prefer to just park at my hotel (Sheraton) and walk to places. I'm looking for dining and drinking suggestions. Thanks!

Re: Philadelphia trip suggestions
I was just there two weeks ago and had never been - there are a lot of good bars/restaurants near a place called Tangerine on market which I hear is good but I went to Morimoto which had awesome sushi. The whole area around Tangerine and Market Street was pretty happening on the Wednesday night I was there - lots of bars and clubs.

Re: Philadelphia trip suggestions
If you like Belgian beer and food, I highly recommend Monk's Cafe at 16th and Spruce. Morimoto is awesome. If you go, I recommend the Omakase (chef's choice). It's expensive, but wonderful. Pat's and Geno's are two Philadelphia classics.

I know you didn't ask for activity recommendations, but check out the Mütter Museum for an amazing collection of freakish medical oddities. Well worth an hour of your time.

I second the Monk's suggestion. Philadelphia is designed for walking and you're in a great starting place. Make some loops between your place down south street to Rittenhouse square and back, you'll find the whole range of places from swank upscale (rittenhouse area) to clubby bar scene (market st.). Bob and Barbara's is a pretty fun place on south st. Pat's and Geno's are NOT in a bad part of town unless you're scared of row homes and one way streets.
