Philadelphia, PA

I've had the good fortune to live in many cities and visit many more, and Philadelphia is one of my favorites for both. Its weighty history and vivid present have packed it chock full of historical and modern attractions, quirky surprises, and singular delights for visitors and locals alike. Spend the days visiting countless Museums or strolling through leafy parks and down quiet residential streets and then live it up at night on Second or South Streets. There's something for everyone, and it's almost all within walking distance.
