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

National Constitution Center
Opening July 4, 2003, on Philadelphia's redesigned Independence Mall, the stunning, modern National Constitution Center is the first museum in the world devoted to the United States Constitution -- its history and its relevance in the daily lives of Americans. The 160,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility, designed by Pei, Cobb Freed and Partners, in angular glass, steel, and limestone, has departments of history, education, and outreach, all using a blend of the most exciting and attention-grabbing technological tools to offer something for everyone, from scholars to casual visitors. While same-day tickets are usually available, it's a good idea to buy tickets in advance, and arrive 20 minutes early for the timed theater shows that welcome visitors twice each hour.As you stroll north from Independence Visitor Center, you'll cross Arch Street and a broad walk to the gleaming white stone entrance to the Constitution Center, emblazoned with those three magic words, "We the People . . ." A 12-minute multimedia show with an inspiring live actor and 360-degree movie screen explain the Constitution's early history. From there, visitors learn how the Constitution affects the functioning of government -- you can take your own Presidential Oath of Office, explore a national family tree, try on a Supreme Court robe, and check out the Bill of Rights. Signers Hall has bronze life-size figures of the 39 men who signed the Constitution, and the three who dissented. Especially good are exhibits featuring a voting machine from Palm Beach, Florida, from the contested 2000 election, and one featuring tools used by G. Gordon Liddy at the Watergate burglary. There will be plenty of daily events, talks, and programs, as well as a 225-seat, glass-enclosed restaurant and store.Note: Watch for special events at the National Constitution Center on and around Ben Franklin's 300th birthday, Jan 17, 2006, still in the works as we go to print. See www.benfranklin300.org for details.

University of Pennsylvania
You could call Philadelphia one big campus, with 27 degree-granting institutions within city limits and 50,000 annual college graduates. The oldest and most prestigious university is U. Penn. This private, coeducational Ivy League institution was founded by Benjamin Franklin and others in 1740. It boasts America's first medical (1765), law (1790), and business (1881) schools. Penn's liberal arts curriculum, dating from 1756, was the first to combine classical and practical subjects. The university has been revitalized in the last 30 years, thanks to extremely successful leadership, alumni, and fund-raising drives. Under President Judith Rodin, it's starting to reshape its neighborhood positively, with the successful Sansom Commons project across the street, including the wonderful Inn at Penn, retail stores, the stylish Bridge de Lux cinema at 40th and Walnut streets, and the massive Barnes & Noble-run university bookstore.The core campus, based in West Philadelphia since the 1870s, features serene Gothic-style buildings and specimen trees in a spacious quadrangle. Visitors can hang out comfortably on the lawns and benches. More modern buildings are results of the 20th-century expansion of the university to accommodate 22,000 students enrolled in four undergraduate and 12 graduate schools, in 100 academic departments. Sights of most interest to visitors include the University Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, and the always intriguing Institute of Contemporary Art, with its changing exhibits.

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.

Adam's Mark Philadelphia
The Adam's Mark looks like an airport control tower, but you'll find an extensive brick complex of connected restaurants and function rooms. Eighty percent of the hotel's business is conventioneers, and the lower levels contain 50,000 square feet of meeting space. Friendly service, good value, and individual touches such as customized safe keys make up for the hotel's somewhat ungainly size and its slow elevators. Rooms are on the large (and drab) side.The Adam's Mark's food and beverage operation really shines. The gardenlike Appleby's is several notches above your average coffee shop, with all-you-can-eat meals, 30-foot ziggurat skylights, and local antiques. Lines start forming early at the Marker, an improbable re-creation (and improbable combination) of French château, paneled English library, and Western ranch that's relaxing, with well-done American cuisine. It seats 150 on three levels, and evenings bring American regional cuisine. Quincy's has hors d'oeuvres (complimentary until 7pm), nightly backgammon, big-band dancing, or jazz.Facilities: 2 restaurants; lounge; bar; indoor pool and outdoor pool; 2 racquetball courts ($10/session); fitness facility with Stairmaster, Nautilus, and Lifecycle equipment; Jacuzzi; sauna; car-rental desk; salon; same-day laundry service and dry cleaning.

Penn's View Hotel
Tucked behind the Market Street ramp to I-95 in a renovated 1856 hardware store, this small, exquisite inn exudes European flair -- when you enter you'll feel like you're in a private club. It was developed by the Sena family, which owns La Famiglia restaurant 450 feet south. The decor is floral and rich. The main concern is traffic noise, but the rooms are well insulated and contain large framed mirrors, armoires, and efficient bathroom fixtures. The ceilings have been dropped for modern heat and air-conditioning, and you'll find Jacuzzis and fireplaces in 12 of the rooms. A third bed can be wheeled into your room for $15. Ristorante Panorama, adjacent to the lobby, offers excellent contemporary Italian cuisine at moderate prices. Also in the hotel is Il Bar, a world-class wine bar that offers 120 different wines by the glass.

Four Seasons Hotel
It was rated the best hotel in Philly in the 2003 Zagat Guide, has earned five diamonds from AAA, and been named one of the top 20 U.S. hotels in Condé Nast Traveler: the Four Seasons' luxury is refined and understated. Built in 1983, the Four Seasons is an eight-story curlicue on Logan Square, with views of the exquisite Swann Fountain and a lush interior courtyard, and has just been completely renovated throughout with beautiful new fabrics and furnishings. The pale-toned lobby has enormous masses of flowers, intimate seating areas, and honey-colored woods. The peach-hued lounge and promenade serve as foyers to the dining and meeting facilities and are paneled in a rare white mahogany. Guest rooms have a rich American elegance: The overstuffed chairs and rich carpets are in tones of pale yellow and sage, and in-room business and tech capabilities are tops. The bathrooms have a wonderful marble dressing area, and excellent lighting. All the rooms have windows or private verandas boasting marvelous views of Logan Circle or the interior courtyard. If you can get a room with a view down the Parkway to the Art Museum and across to the Free Library, you will be dazzled both by day and at night.The Four Seasons restaurants regularly collect raves from local reviewers. The Fountain Restaurant, under executive chef Martin Hamann, is a classic, a favorite among Philly residents for unstuffy service and a fabulous Sunday brunch. Natural light streams over 150 wide armchair seats and tapestries, fresh flowers, and walnut paneling. Another great option is dining in the hotel's cafe room, which offers slightly more casual fare from Hamann's kitchen at about half the price of a Fountain dinner. The Swann Lounge has marble-top tables and a colorful, civilized look like something out of a Maurice Prendergast sketch. It's open for an extensive lunch, afternoon tea, and cocktails.Facilities: 2 restaurants; cafe; indoor heated pool; health club with Universal machines, Exercycles, and exercise mats; spa; Jacuzzi; concierge; town-car service within Center City; salon; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning.
