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.

The Liberty Bell
You can't leave Philadelphia without seeing the Liberty Bell. The Bell is housed in a new 13,000-square-foot, $12.4 million glass pavilion, 235 feet long and 50 feet wide, angled so you can see it against the backdrop of Independence Hall, but avoiding the brutal modern Penn Mutual skyscraper flanking the Hall.The Liberty Bell, America's symbol of freedom and independence, was commissioned in 1751 for the Pennsylvania State House to mark the 50th anniversary of a notable event: William Penn, who governed Pennsylvania alone under Crown charter terms, decided that free colonists had a right to govern themselves, so he established the Philadelphia Assembly under a new Charter of Privileges. The 2,000-pound bell, cast in England, cracked while it was being tested, and the Philadelphia firm of Pass and Stow recast it by 1753. It hung in Independence Hall to "proclaim liberty throughout the land" as the Declaration of Independence was read aloud to the citizens. In 1777, it survived a trip to an Allentown church so the British wouldn't melt it down for ammunition. The last time it tolled was to celebrate Washington's birthday in 1846. The term Liberty Bell was coined by the abolitionist movement, which recognized the relevance of its inscription, "Proclaim Liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof," in the fight against slavery.The new building offers excellent information and interactive exhibits, including an X-ray of the bell's crack and a film produced by the History Channel about how the bell became an international icon of freedom. Language options for the narrative videos range from Russian to Chinese to German.

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.

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

Gables
This lovely 1889 Victorian was one of West Philadelphia's first and finest mansions. The location is about 8 blocks west of the University of Pennsylvania's main campus. It's right at the SEPTA trolley line stop in Center City, 5 minutes from 30th Street Station, and 15 minutes from the airport. It's an excellent choice for visiting academics, parents of students, prospective applicants, and relaxed tourists.Eight formal areas are filled with antiques. There are sitting rooms, a breakfast room, and a wraparound porch; five bedrooms with private bathrooms and four bedrooms with adjacent bathrooms are on the top two floors. All rooms have gorgeous inlaid wood floors, and three have charming corner turrets, and most rooms have private bathrooms. Closets, armoires, lamps, and desks fit in with the Victorian decor. There is a lovely yard and garden; home-baked muffins, breads, fresh fruit, and casseroles make up the breakfasts.

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.

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.
