During your Philadelphia vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Physick House
Like the Powel house, the Physick (formerly Hill-Physick-Keith) House combines attractive design and historical interest. The house is the area's most impressive -- freestanding but not boxy, gracious but solid. Built during the 1780s boom, with money from importing Madeira wine, it soon wound up housing the father of American surgery, Philip Syng Physick (a very propitious name for a physician). The usual pattern of neglect and renovation applies here, on an even grander scale.All the fabric and wallpaper was fashioned expressly for use here, and the mansion as restored is an excellent illustration of the Federal style from about 1815. The drawing room opens onto a lovely 19th-century walled garden, and contains a Roman stool and 18th-century Italian art, collectibles that illustrate the excitement caused by the discovery of the buried city of Pompeii at that time. Look for an inkstand blessed by Ben Franklin's fingerprints. Dr. Physick treated Chief Justice Marshall, and Marshall's portrait and gift of a wine stand testify to the doctor's powers.
Free Library of Philadelphia
Splendidly situated on the north side of Logan Circle, the Free Library of Philadelphia rivals the public libraries of Boston and New York for magnificence and diversity. The library and its twin, the Municipal Court, are copies of buildings in the Place de la Concorde in Paris (the library's on the left).The main lobby and the gallery always have some of the institution's riches on display, from medieval manuscripts to exhibits of modern bookbinding. Greeting cards and stationery are sold for reasonable prices, too. The second floor houses the best local history, travel, and resource collection in the city. The local 130,000-item map collection is fascinating. The third-floor rare book room hosts visitors Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm, with tours by appointment. If you're interested in manuscripts, children's literature, early printed books, and early American hornbooks, or you just want to see a stuffed raven, this is the place.If you're hungry, the Skyline Cafe (Mon-Fri 9am-4pm) is a very nice location for a snack and one of the only dining options on the Parkway. There's also an active concert and film series.
Betsy Ross House
One Colonial home everybody knows about is this one near Christ Church, restored in 1937, and distinguished by the Stars and Stripes outside. Elizabeth (Betsy) Ross was a Quaker needlewoman who, newly widowed in 1776, worked as a seamstress and upholsterer out of her home on Arch Street. Nobody is quite sure if no. 239 was hers, though. And nobody knows for sure if she did the original American flag of 13 stars set in a field of 13 red-and-white stripes, but she was commissioned to sew ships' flags for the American fleet to replace the earlier Continental banners.The tiny house takes only a minute or two to walk through. The house is set back from the street, and the city maintains the Atwater Kent Park in front, where Ross and her last husband are buried. The upholstery shop (now a gift shop renovated in 1998) opens into the period parlor. Other rooms include the cellar kitchen (standard placement for this room), tiny bedrooms, and model working areas for upholstering, making musket balls, and the like. Note such little touches as reusable note tablets made of ivory; pine cones used to help start hearth fires; and the prominent kitchen hourglass. Flag Day celebrations are held here on June 14.
Sheraton Suites Philadelphia Hotel
For just a bit more dough than the Four Points across the street requires, you get a suite with a beautifully furnished bedroom and living room that encircle a dramatic eight-story atrium. A 2001 rehab redecorated suites in white, brown, and maroon, with cherrywood furniture. The outer room contains a business desk and chair, convertible sofa bed, and armoire with TV. The bedroom, with the choice of a king or two twin beds, has another TV and phone, and bathrooms are similarly handsome. There is a wet bar with coffeemaker and small refrigerator in the kitchenette, and the bathroom has a marble-topped vanity. Airport noise is minimal.
Rittenhouse Square Bed and Breakfast
Steps from chic Rittenhouse Square, the pristine park ringed by million-dollar apartments and historic mansions, Rittenhouse Square Bed and Breakfast is the city's best incarnation of a small, European-style luxury hotel. The inn is located at the heart of Center City, a 10-minute walk to the Convention Center, the Franklin Institute, and City Hall, but feels private on its tiny, leafy street a block from Walnut Street's shopping corridor. Set in a large mansion built around 1911, the lobby exudes haute-British style, and wine is served at 5pm. Upstairs, burrow under Frette linens and revel in cream-colored Berber carpets, antiques, and reproductions of Louis XIV and Chippendale furniture in one of 10 surprisingly large guest rooms and suites. Or check e-mail -- the inn is equipped with DSL lines and workstations. All guest rooms have new marble bathrooms, and pastries and fruit are served in the morning from the city's best bakery, Metropolitan, to round out the sophisticated experience -- so much so that children under 12 are not welcome.
Penn Tower Hotel
Penn Tower is a very convenient, if less than stellar, version of a former Hilton, built with a direct skywalk to University Hospital and within steps of the University of Pennsylvania, 30th Street Station, the Civic Center, and Drexel University. The hotel part of the tower comprises floors 17 and 18, and there is an enclosed garage. U. Penn takes over more floors every year for medical offices. You'll have to get used to spirited displays of red and blue, Penn's colors, and a long lobby corridor of rough-textured concrete that leads to the reception desk. A coffee cart serves pastries and sandwiches in the lobby starting at 6am. The rooms and bathrooms were renovated in 2004, and are efficient and clean.
