During your Philadelphia vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Independence Seaport Museum
Opposite Walnut Street, between the two dock areas, is this great new facility in the contemporary poured-concrete structure north of the Olympia jetty. The match between the 1981 state-owned building and the 1961 museum took several years to achieve, but was consummated in July 1995. Now the user-friendly maritime museum is the premier attraction of the city's waterfront, and also boasts the docked cruiser Olympia and the submarine Becuna.The museum is beautifully laid out, blending a first-class maritime collection with interactive exhibits for a trip through time that engages all ages. The 11,000-square-foot main gallery is the centerpiece for exhibits, educational outreach, and activities that are jazzy and eye-catching without being noisy or obtrusive. Twelve sections mix the personal with the professional -- call up interviews with river pilots, navy personnel, and shipbuilders. There are stories of immigrants who flooded Philadelphia between 1920 and 1970, and the rich reminiscences and memorabilia that make the past come to life.One of the museum's most attractive features is the Workshop on the Water, where you can watch classes in traditional wooden boat building and restoration throughout the year.
Powel House
If Elfreth's Alley leaves you hungry for a taste of more well-to-do Colonial Philadelphia, head for the Powel House. Mayor Samuel Powel and his wife, Elizabeth, hosted every founding father and foreign dignitary around. (John Adams called these feasts "sinful dinners," which shows how far Powel had come from his Quaker background.) He spent most of his 20s gallivanting around Europe, collecting wares for this 1765 mansion.It's hard to believe that this most Georgian of houses was slated for demolition in 1930, because it had become a decrepit slum dwelling. Period rooms were removed to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. But the Philadelphia Society for the Preservation of Landmarks saved it, and has gradually refurnished the entire mansion as it was. The yellow satin Reception Room, off the entrance hall, has some gorgeous details, such as a wide-grain mahogany secretary. Upstairs, the magnificent ballroom features red damask drapes whose design is copied from a bolt of cloth found untouched in a Colonial attic. There is also a 1790 Irish crystal chandelier and a letter from Benjamin Franklin's daughter referring to the lively dances held here. An 18th-century garden lies below.
Franklin Court
Franklin Court is an imaginative, informative, and downright fun (and free) museum run by the National Park Service. Designed by noted architect Robert Venturi, it was very much a sleeper when it opened in April 1976, because Market and Chestnut streets' arched passages give little hint of the court and exhibit within.Franklin Court was once the home of Benjamin Franklin, who had resided with his family in smaller row houses in the neighborhood prior to living here. Like Jefferson at Monticello, Franklin planned much of the interior design of the house, though he spent the actual building period first as Colonial emissary to England, and then to France. His wife, Deborah, oversaw the construction, as the flagstones engraved with some of her correspondence show, while Ben sent back continental goods and a constant stream of advice. Sadly, they were reunited in the family plot at Christ Church Burial Ground, since Deborah died weeks before the end of Ben's 10-year absence. Under the stewardship of his daughter Sarah and her husband, Richard Bache, Franklin Court provided a comfortable home for Ben until his death in 1790.Since archaeologists have no exact plans of the original house, a simple frame in girders indicates its dimensions and those of the smaller print shop. Excavations have uncovered wall foundations, bits of walls, and outdoor privy wells, and these have been left as protected cutaway pits. It is all very interesting, but enter the exhibition for the really fun part. After a portrait and furniture gallery, a mirrored room reveals Franklin's far-ranging interests as a scientist, an inventor, a statesman, a printer, and so on. At the Franklin Exchange, dial various American and European luminaries to hear what they thought of Franklin.The middle part of the same hall has a 15-minute series of three climactic scenes in Franklin's career as a diplomat. On a sunken stage, costumed doll figures brief you, and each other, on the English Parliament in 1765, the Stamp Act, the Court at Versailles (when its members were wondering whether to aid America in its bid for independence), and the debates of the Constitution's framers in 1787, which occurred right around the corner at Independence Hall. Needless to say, Ben's pithy sagacity wins every time.On your way in or out on the Market Street side, stop in the 1786 houses that Ben rented out. One is the Printing Office and Bindery, where you can see Colonial methods of printing and bookmaking in action. The house at 322 Market St. is the restored office of The Aurora and General Advertiser, the newspaper published by Franklin's grandson. Next door, get a letter postmarked at the Benjamin Franklin Post Office (remember, Ben was Postmaster General, too!). Employees still stamp the marks by hand. Upstairs, a postal museum is open in summer.
Park Hyatt Philadelphia at the Bellevue
The "grande dame of Broad Street" was the most opulent hotel in the country when it first opened in 1904. It's still a grand experience in a great location: All guest rooms were renovated in 2002, and the Park Hyatt ranks just below the Four Seasons, the Rittenhouse, and the Ritz-Carlton. The dazzling marble-mosaic ground floor houses high-end retailers like Tiffany & Co. and Polo/Ralph Lauren, and a lower level features Pierre & Carlo Spa Salon, Zanzibar Blue jazz bar and restaurant, and a gourmet food court. A separate elevator lifts you to the domed 19th-floor registration area and foyer for the hotel restaurants. The rooms, occupying floors 12 to 17, are large and all slightly different, with wall moldings reproduced from the 1904 designs. Each room boasts extra large goose-down pillows, three two-line phones with dataports, a VCR, a large bed, a writing desk, a round table, and four upholstered chairs. The bathrooms are marble, with amenities like hair dryers, TVs, and illuminated mirrors.Founders, voted one of the top 50 restaurants in the nation by Condé Nast Traveler, has two spectacular semicircular windows draped with dramatic swags of brown and cream, and offers dancing to a swing trio on weekends. The Library Lounge is quiet and comfortable, with a fireplace and a collection of books by and about Philadelphians. The Park Hyatt Bellevue is adjacent to the Sporting Club, one of Philadelphia's top health clubs, a Michael Graves-designed facility with 93,000 square feet of health club space, including a half-mile jogging track; a four-lane, 25m junior Olympic pool; and squash and racquetball courts.
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.
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.
