During your Philadelphia vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

U.S. Mint
The U.S. Mint was the first building authorized by the government, during Washington's first term. The present edifice, diagonally across from Liberty Bell Pavilion, turns out about 1.5 million coins every hour. As of September 2002, tours must be arranged through your representative in Congress in advance, and serious security measures are in place; see the mint website for details, or call tel. 202/354-6700.

Arch Street Meeting House
This plain brick building dates from 1804, but William Penn gave the land to his Religious Society of Friends in 1693. In this capital city of Quakers, the Meeting House opens its doors to 12,000 local Friends for worship during the last week in March each year. Quakers believe in direct, unmediated guidance by the Holy Spirit; individuals publicly search their souls during "threshing sessions" in a spartan chamber with no pulpit, only hand-hewn benches that face one another. Other areas of the Meeting House display Bibles, clothing, and implements of Quaker life past and present, along with a simple history of the growth of the religion and the life of William Penn.

Rosenbach Museum and Library
The Rosenbach specializes in books: illuminated manuscripts, parchment, rough drafts, and first editions. If you love the variations and beauty of the printed word, they'll love your presence.The opulent town-house galleries contain 30,000 rare books and 270,000 documents. Some rooms preserve the Rosenbachs' elegant living quarters, with antique furniture and Sully paintings. Others are devoted to authors and illustrators: Marianne Moore's Greenwich Village study is reproduced in its entirety, and the Maurice Sendak drawings represent only the tip of his iceberg (or forest). Holdings include the original manuscript of Joyce's Ulysses and first editions of Melville, in the author's own bookcase. Small special exhibitions are tucked in throughout the house, and don't miss the shop behind the entrance for bargains in greeting cards and a superb collection of Sendak.You are welcome to wander around the rooms unaccompanied, but you are not allowed to sit down and leaf through the books. For access to the books, you need to call and arrange a special admission. For the most part, you will only be allowed to arrange to peruse the books if you are visiting with a specific scholarly purpose.An expansion and renovations for access for those with disabilities were recently completed.

Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the Philadelphia area, including:

Bank Street Hostel
This 140-year-old former factory and its two neighbors, located in a very convenient part of town, offer spartan (although newly repainted) accommodations for travelers on a budget. The dormitory-style rooms are spread over four floors of the complex. Extras include free coffee and tea, a pool table, and a lounge with a large-screen TV. Kitchen facilities and washer/dryer are available for use. Clean, dorm-style bathrooms are shared. Discounts on food and other items at area merchants are available.

Doubletree Hotel Philadelphia
The Avenue of the Arts location of this hotel is good for culture-seekers and families. The garage entrances ingeniously keep traffic flows separate for three floors of meeting facilities. The decor features rich paisleys and Degas-style murals alluding to the orchestral and ballet life at the Academy of Music across the street. Thanks to the saw-toothed design of the building, each of the guest rooms, which have been upgraded with new TVs and mattresses, has two views of town. Obviously, the higher floors afford the better views. The views of the Delaware River (eastern corner) or City Hall (northeastern corner) are the most popular. The bathrooms are clean and bland, and the Doubletree signature is a box of great chocolate chip cookies delivered to your room upon arrival.

The Hilton Inn at Penn
The handsome and elegantly appointed Inn at Penn is my favorite place to stay in the city limits when west of the Schuylkill River. The Inn, managed by Hilton Hotels, is the keystone of the block-long Sansom Commons, an attractive six-story brick area that includes the outstanding University Bookstore and collegiate trendy stores such as Urban Outfitters and a Cosi coffee and sandwich bar. While the front door faces the Penn campus across Walnut Street, you'll enter through a porte-cochere off the north side of Sansom Street. Expansive stairways and corridors connect entrances to registration and to the Living Room, a fully-stocked library where complimentary tea and coffee are dispensed until 4pm, and wine and spirits are sold thereafter. Artwork and bas-reliefs of U. Penn's athletic triumphs from decades past adorn the Mission-style walls. The rooms are done in warm olive and beige tones, with top-quality furnishings, firm beds, and individual temperature controls; some were recently renovated. The academic flavor translates into efficient lighting and amenities such as dual-line phones, voice mail, and coffeemakers.Penne Restaurant and Wine Bar is a pleasant trattoria where chef Roberta Adamo hand-makes all the pasta. The Faculty Club restaurant serves breakfast and lunch. The futuristic Asian-themed Pod, with excellent pad Thai, sushi served from a conveyor belt, and sexy color-shifting decor, is within the Sansom Commons complex. University City is rich in ethnic restaurants, many within a block or two of the inn.
