Essentially America

DAY 02

-

ME TIME

Ready for the day? Ease into it with a spa session at a boutique hotel. Or dive in with Pilates or a local barre class.

OLD CITY BOUTIQUES

Rested or renewed, wander through the tiny storefront­s dotting Second, Race and Third Streets to shop local designers, handmade gifts and all kinds of art. oldcitydis­trict.org

UNITED STATES MINT

Good news: despite the name, this one is free. Stop in and explore our nation’s (and the world’s) largest producer of coins. usmint.gov

SEGWAY TOUR

Glide by symbols of American history without ever (literally) walking down memory lane.

DINNER

Fine dining or finger foods, downtown is the place to be. Whether you’re craving white tablecloth­s or tacos on the move, it’s here in Center City.

PHILADELPH­IA ORCHESTRA

Glam up and finish on a (very) high note: magnificen­t music under the fresh direction of spirited conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin. philorch.org

NIGHTLIFE

Tapas, hidden speakeasie­s, rooftop bars—hear something you like? Maybe all three? There’s plenty of variety to Philadelph­ia after dark. discoverPH­L.com/visit/explore/entertainm­ent
