Any Philly locals around to tell me the "Must see's" of the city? I'm already taking in a Phillies game(bought the tickets today), and I know my wife is gonna take in an art museum, but what are the other big attractions of the city?

I'm a foodie, so whenever I visit Philadelphia the Reading Terminal Market is always my first stop.

If your into Disney, animation or even theme park's.. The Disney 100 exhibition at the Franklin Insititute is pretty good.
I think it’s on til late August.. So check the dates.

If you are a wrestling fan, you can visit the former arena of EXTREME… 2300arena.com/ |

Shame there doesn't seem to be a show happening the weekend I'm there, though. |

Get a cheesesteak from one of the great places that are not tourist traps. I recommend Woodrow's.

Gotta fight a bunch of guys on the basketball court outside of the school. *passing over the obvious reference* It's Philly. You're gonna be fighting someone every 6 steps anyway, no matter where you are. |

And the roast pork sandwich is just as much a signature Philly sandwich as the cheesesteak, too.

My favorite Cheesesteak in the city is from Carmen's in the Reading Terminal Market. If you absolutely insist on getting your Cheesesteak in South Philly then Tony Luke's easily surpasses both Pat's and Geno's.

Also, seconding (thirding? fourthing?) the Reading Terminal Market and Franklin Institute being awesome.

Is "Philadelphia sketch" better or worse than "Chicago sketch", as that's the only major city I've lived in for a point of comparison? |

Could be remembering wrong, but I recall my one visit to the former ECW Arena there are actually no real roads leading up to it. I had to drive through like a Home Depot parking lot and then through some loading docks to find it.
