Hotel Rittenhouse, right? I was going to recommend it. Great location. Smith and Wollensky on the ground floor for a good steak and happy hour or late cocktails. Also, the Omni on Chestnut at 4th, right in the middle of Society Hill, and a few blocks from Independence Hall etc. There's also a Westin on 17th between Market and Chestnut. It used to be the Ritz until The Ritz moved to Broad St.
I'm certain the longtime deceased, real Phil 'Chicken Man' Testa did many times.
).Sampan (Asian fusion restaurant, can do soy free menu) and International Beer Garden are owned by same people as Double Knot. My brother loves Sampan.
Jim, I wouldn't center my hotel stay near the Reading Terminal Market. I was there, actually in the Convention Center (same building), in March. Market St. in that area is torn up. You wouldn't enjoy staying in that neighborhood, in my opinion. It's a long term construction project. That would eliminate the Hilton at 11th and Arch, the Marriot at the Convention Center and Loew's on Market at 12th, all mentioned above (it's Loew's not Lowe's - probably an engineer poster
Surely , you (Beau) Geste.Any traces of Legionaire's disease left there?
Soap and linen? Oy vey.
Franklin Field is not the same since they turfed it decades ago, imo. Jim will want to stop by the Palestra, home to his beloved Penn basketball team. Jim, if you're reading this, you might want to call the Palestra ahead of time to see if they'll let you in. So happens I have the number for the office there: VU 1 - 9047.

Like the parsley entree at French restaurants.

I remember cold calling the buildings on the east side of Broad, adjacent to City Hall, soon after college. The Western Savings Building was one. I recall the first time I walked into the offices of Morgan, Lewis and Bockius, perhaps the stuffiest and smuggest law firm on Earth, and thinking, "WTF am I doing here?" What an office! Talk about a totally intimidated fish outta water. I got over it, though.

About a quarter mile south from City Hall on Broad, on the east side, is one of those secure buildings that hold (or held) valuable paper and microfilm records for law firms, banks etc. You drive across the sidewalk through a tall and wide garage door down into this facility. No one would know what was kept there or the purpose of the entrance unless, of course, you knew. Kind of cool when you're twenty something.
Not an engineer but a bad speller. You're right on the market street east area being a little deserted late at night. North of Chestnut and east of Broad St. it gets more sketchy late night.Jim, I wouldn't center my hotel stay near the Reading Terminal Market.

They're tearing out the underground Galleria shopping mall. It extends from 8th to about 10th or 11th. All the sidewalks there on the north side of Market are fenced with plywood on top. They're also doing work to other buildings on the north side of Market St. in that area. It was a mess when I was there a few months ago.
Good question. I really can't lipread well in the dark and without my glasses.Does she call you Tarzan?
