Connecticut to Philly--great 48 hr. getaway

Arriving mid-afternoon the desk clerk greeted us warmly and efficiently. He suggested we use the taxi to reach our dinner destination--We asked for a mixed drink with 'mixed' reviews...Our chosen dinner spot called "TIME" was an excellent choice--happy hour at 6 and a jazz trio supplying great background music. Our dinner selections were super--Duck breast cooked to perfection, tasty appetizers of marinated quail and duck scrapple. Our big thrill was to hear the Wanamaker Pipe Organ and to join other 'friends of the Wanamaker". Strolling Philadelphia streets after the concert and dessert at The Palm again spoke friendliness and great service. Evening at Best Western was totally comfortable, great beds, nice air conditioned room to make our stay much appreciated after a long days drive from CT. One could only wish to have stayed longer.
