A good 6-mile walking tour of the Philadelphia that you can make as long or as short as you like.

Monster Vegan

Rittenhouse square

• A cool spot to walk through, and one of the five original squares that William Penn deemed OG.

Logan Square

• another cool spot to walk through

Love Park

• and ANOTHER dope spot to walk through

City Hall

Charlie was a Sinner

We caught the 1:23 train, nixed the tours and just explored, skipped old city coffee because it was closed and hit harry’s right next door, did a little more browsing and shopping, and spent more time at tattooed Mom and Monster Vegan, so we skipped the Squares, love park, and city hall (we already seen these parts of the city too so we weren’t pressed for them)

We left monster at 8:15 to catch the 8:40 train with a stop at Danny’s for some quick laughs. (if you know you know!)

8 hours of fun, unforgettable experiences. This happened to be our 9th anniversary – it played out perfectly. Of course, we called some audibles and figured some things out but do things ever go exactly according to plan? Sometimes yeah, this time no, and we still had a blast.

Until Next Year!
