What to Do in Philadelphia
Some friends are like family. What better city to visit with girlfriends who are like sisters than Philadelphia, the City of Sisterly Affection?!
- Hornblower Cruises and Events | Climb aboard and let the experts of Hornblower Cruises and Events help you make some memories. Whether you and your besties choose a cruise for dinner, lunch, cocktails, or even bingo, the 2-4 hours on the Delaware River will not disappoint. You’ll see amazing skyline views, hear great tunes courtesy of the onboard DJ, savor the delicious food and sip on your favorite cocktails. Perfection!
- Howl at the Moon | True, you can find a Howl at the Moon in several U.S. cities, but Philly’s location is worth the visit. It’s a super high energy spot with live music from talented musicians playing all genres. 80’s rock? Yep. 90’s pop? Sure thing. Today’s dance hits? Absolutely. It’s part-concert, part-lounge; the best of both worlds! Whether or not you’re celebrating, this place is a party!
Where to Stay in Philadelphia
