During your Philadelphia vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Edgar Allan Poe National Historical Site
The acclaimed American author, though more associated with Baltimore, Richmond, and New York City, lived here from 1843 to 1844. "The Black Cat," "The Gold Bug," and "The Tell-Tale Heart" were published while he was a resident. Just reopened following structural work, it's a simple place -- after all, Poe was poor most of his life -- and the National Park Service keeps it unfurnished. An adjoining building contains basic information on Poe's life and work, along with a reading room and slide presentation. The Park Service also runs intermittent discussions and candlelight tours on Saturday afternoon.
National Museum of American Jewish History
This is the only museum specifically dedicated to preserving and presenting Jewish participation in the development of the United States. The museum was established in 1976, although the congregation connected to it, Mikveh Israel, was established in Philadelphia in 1740. Enter close to 4th Street (passing Christ Church Cemetery, with Ben Franklin's grave) into a dark-brick lobby. The museum starts with a fascinating permanent exhibition, "Creating American Jews," combining reproductions of portraits and documents, actual diaries, letters, and oral histories from five diverse "snapshots" from today's six million American Jews and their predecessors. Smaller rotating exhibitions supplement this presentation, and there are moving and inspiring special events offered throughout the year. Attracting 40,000 visitors a year, the museum is usually cool and restful and makes a good break from a hot Independence Park tour. A small gift shop is attached.
Barnes Foundation
The magnificent Barnes Foundation, just outside the city limits in suburban Merion, will enchant you. Albert Barnes crammed his French provincial mansion, built around 1925, with more than 1,000 masterpieces -- 180 Renoirs, 69 Cézannes, innumerable Impressionists and post-Impressionists, and a generous sampling of European art from the Italian primitives onward. Each wall is filled with masterpieces, hung, literally, from floor to ceiling. The Barnes reopened in November 1995 after a world tour of more than 80 masterworks from the collection and a $12-million renovation of the galleries.Barnes believed that art has a quality that can be explained objectively -- for example, one curve will be beautiful and hence art, and another that's slightly different will not be art. That's why the galleries display antique door latches, keyholes, keys, and household tools with strong geometric lines right next to the paintings. Connections beg to be drawn between neighboring objects -- an unusual van Gogh nude, an Amish chest, New Mexico rural icons. Virtually every first-rank European artist is included: Degas, Seurat, Bosch, Tintoretto, Lorrain, Chardin, Daumier, Delacroix, Corot, and more. Not a bad use of a fortune made from patent medicine!The bad news is that the Barnes organization is rife with lawsuits, and due to complaints of "not in my backyard" neighbors who object to crowds, visiting hours are extremely limited and require reservations far in advance. Summer hours in July and August are Wednesday through Friday; in other months, the museum is open Friday through Sunday. In fall 2002, the Trustees filed court papers to move the museum to a new downtown home on Benjamin Franklin Parkway, against the wishes of Dr. Barnes; this has brought a raft of new controversy, though many Philadelphians would love to see the collection in a more accessible venue near other top museums. The historic building could then remain as an educational facility. Stay tuned, and call well ahead of your anticipated visit for reservations.
The Latham
A landmark apartment house from 1915 to 1970, the Latham's charm, congeniality, and small attentions bring to mind a small, superbly run Swiss hostelry in a great setting off Walnut Street. On weekday mornings, the lobby -- a high-ceilinged salon with terrazzo highlights -- is filled with refreshed executives, though the hotel does no convention business. Weekend packages are great bargains. The reception staff is quick and professional. The guest rooms, redone in Victorian motif in 1998, are not huge or lavish but perfectly proportioned and decorated with cheerful striped silk. Full-wall and lighted facial mirrors, large marblelike basins, and over-size towels highlight the white-toned bathroom interiors.
Hyatt Regency Philadelphia at Penn's Landing
The most recently constructed (Dec 2000) major hotel in town towers above the Delaware River waterfront, easily accessible from I-95. With its solid Deco-style angles and boxes, it's impossible to miss. Walkways over the highway at Walnut and Dock streets mean 5 easy Colonial blocks separate you from the historic sights. The well-lit, marble-floored lobby features a sofa encircling an enormous flower urn, flanked by warm cherry walls and swoops of fabrics; check-in is tucked near the elevator banks. The guest rooms continue the Art Deco theme, with patterns in browns and cherry furniture. Rooms have stupendous views of the riverfront or city. I-95 noise does percolate up, so choose a river-view room if quiet is important to you. Bathrooms are marbled and swanky. Self-parking can be tedious here, with a small garage elevator and long waits for it, so go with the valets for only $5 more (you can drive in and out as many times as you like without extra fees). Keating's River Grill (Dan Keating owns the site, which Hyatt manages) can seat 200 guests indoors and 75 outdoors on an elegant plaza featuring artist-commissioned wrought iron rails and overlooking the Delaware River.
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.
