Day and Night at Rittenhouse Square

When in Philadelphia, do visit the Rittenhouse Square. As one of the five original open space parksplanned during late 17th century, the Rittenhouse Square is now filled with numerous lush trees, statues and beautiful landscapes including fountains and well maintained walkways.

For a chance to enjoy a relaxing time outdoors as well as public art, party bus visitors should take some time to head to Rittenhouse Square, located off 19th Street at Walnut Street and also at a half block above Manning Street.

A Scary Time at Eastern State Penitentiary

When it comes to an interesting place to visit during a party bus trip to Philadelphia, nothing beats heading out to the Eastern State Penitentiary for some scary visit. A former prison that used to house famous criminals such as Willie Sutton the bank robber and Al Capone, this building was the largest and most costly public structure ever built.

The Eastern State Penitentiary is now part of the National Historic Landmark, and is open to visits for bus charter visitors every single day from 10am to 5pm.

Love Park - an Iconic Philadelphia Landmark

Love Park isn’t Central Park, let’s just put it mildly but if you want to see life in a different light, we think a visit to Love Park in Philadelphia is a must. As you will find out through various reviews and feedback, there is nothing particularly special about Love Park except for the ‘Love’ signboard at the entrance. Philadelphia is fondly known as the city of brotherly love, and we think taking a picture with the sign marks something special for your bus company Philadelphia trip. Taking a picture with a love sign in the city of brotherly love. Now, does that warm up your heart a little just to hear that? It would be even more remarkable if you took the picture with your partner, family members or friends.

The view down parkway and the bus company Philadelphia museum is another reason to make your way here during your visit and the best time to see all of that would be during the day. We have heard rather sorry stories about throngs of homeless people hanging around the park at night.

Instead of being turned off by homeless people hanging around the park and skateboarders who are practicing, we found them enticing. They bring the park to life, we thought that it was a great place to take awesome pictures not just of the picturesque backdrop but of the people too.

The great thing about Love Park is....it is not your average bus company Philadelphia tourist trap. Not the best and most luxurious place to be in but it gives you the chance to reflect upon what you have today that most people don’t.

We thought that the fountain was absolutely lovely and a great place for Kodak moments too. It isn’t the biggest nor is it the most impressive, but it is iconic to Philadelphia. And THAT is an important point to consider when visiting the park.

The park is surrounded by many gorgeous buildings all around so, after making a short bus company Philadelphia visit to the park, stroll along the buildings and hence, MORE photo opportunities. Parking can be tough around the area but if you are going to be using bus charter, shuttle bus, coach charter, mini bus or party bus during the trip, there is no need to worry about parking.

Keep an open mind and sense of humor with you when you visit Love Park. Remember that you are here to visit one of Philadelphia’s most iconic landmarks and if you are cautious about and with your belongings, the short stopover should be very interesting and eye-opening.

Smith Memorial Playground and Playhouse

These days, it is rarely seen that kids would go out and play outside because many of them would be so engrossed with computers and video games. But it does not have to be like that all the time with the kids – there are many places that parents can bring the children out for some fun under the sun. One of such place to go would be the Smith Memorial Playground and Playhouse, located in East Fairmount Park. This park has long been a jewel and a very much treasured destination for a long time. If you have never been here and have never taken your kids here for some fun, then you really should do so soon. Plan a family outing here in a Philadelphia party bus and invite your kids’ friends to come along too – as the saying goes, the more, the merrier.

The Smith Memorial Playground and Playhouse is closed on Mondays as well as holidays like New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day, Easter Sunday, Independence Day, Thanksgiving and the following day, Christmas Eve and Christmas day. They are generally open from 10am to 6pm, but during certain months of the year and days of the week, the hours differs, so be sure to check ahead of time their opening hours before you make your booking for a charter bus.

If you didn’t already know, the Smith playground has been a popular place for children in the age group of ten years old and below because it is a place where the children get to be creative and imaginative in playing. The playground is huge and they also have areas designated for different age groups to play. Hence, if you have children who are younger, you don’t have to worry that they will be playing with the older ones and might hurt themselves while playing. You can always bring them to the area where they can play with other kids of the same age, or if you like, you can bring them to the Playhouse where they have three floors of creative play that was designed for children who are 5 years old and younger. Actually, many times, parents will also enjoy playing with the children at the playground too. And the best part of the trip is that with the service of a professional Philadelphia party bus, it is comforting to know that at the end of the day, when everyone is tired out from all the playing and running around, all you need to do is just climb back onto the bus and let the driver send you home.

Meals You Would Love in Philly

When it comes right down to sampling what the locals eat, we need to look beyond eating at one of those fancy fine-dining eateries where the chef knows exactly how to play with your palate and knows very well that it would get tourists and out-of-town visitors like some of you who are Philadelphia charter bus weekend visitors. There are many restaurants whose focus is to merely place good food, at a good pricing for their customers and these eateries, we might want to add, are the very ones that deserves a visit from you.

For example, Paesano’s Philly Style Sandwiches serves the kind of large-portion sandwiches that the local Philly residents expect and enjoy. Paesano’s is located on West Girard Avenue and have been receiving tons of positive reviews and feedback on the internet, as one of the leading restaurants and cafes to visit in Philadelphia. Being overhyped on the internet led visitors to believe that it was some sort of fancy restaurant when in all reality, it is a small outlet serving local sandwiches. People’s got to believe that they serve what they serve because they have gained the loyalty of their customers and their combination of sandwich combined with beef, eggs and tomatoes works for the locals - and THAT is what you are going to be here for.

And while Paesano’s is bent on working their sandwiches to the hilt, places like Fountain Restaurant in Logan Square are ambitious with their long menu and extensive list of drinks. You will see how distinguishingly different both restaurants are when you visit during your Philadelphia charter bus rental getaway. One is for a simpler meal focusing on taste and loyalty, the other, Fountain, is working it big on the fanfare and decor. And the amazing thing is that both have their own winning charm. Fountain is a seafood restaurant, some will argue, although they do serve other dishes like chicken, beef and other delicacies but their seafood menu is extensive and impressive, to say the least. Be it a business lunch, a corporate meeting, romantic dinner, after concert quick meal or a family gathering, they are all perfect at Fountain.

Sabrina’s on Christian Street is quite another story. Leveraging on its strategic location, most of Sabrina’s customers are office-going people who come here for brunch or lunch. The real winner for Sabrina’s would be their creativity in terms of coming up with new dishes and promotions to entice new Philadelphia charter bus rental visitors who are here for the first time. And one’s got to have something to say about their huevos rancheros....they are absolutely something else.

These three restaurants shows you how different each of them really are and it is also a sample of what Philadelphia has to offer your taste buds when you are here for your Philadelphia charter bus rental vacation.

Independence National Historical Park is As Patriotic as Patriotic Gets

Philadelphia is a place that is inevitably drenched with history and it becomes evident with just a short Philadelphia party bus visit to Independence National Historical Park. This tourist hotspot has the main aim of preserving historical resources through its deep-rooted dedication to helping more people understand and learn about the American Revolution which formed the country to the stature that it is in today. Tourists and foreign visitors often have an incredible experience whenever they made a stop at Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, both having played a significant role in preserving historical Philadelphia. Both sites have moved people by helping people understand the people of America, the events and American ideals.

There was once upon a time when African slaves not just called the President’s House their home but they spent much of their waking hours working their hearts out for a place in this country. The massive structure that forms this presidential residence and office for President George Washington and John Adams. Unfortunately, it is no longer a residence to America’s presidents, it continues to be an important tourist destination and a place that commemorates the presidents and the lives of the enslaved Africans.

The Liberty Bell, on the other hand, as everyone knows, symbolises freedom to all Americans. Philadelphia party bus tourists will get to experience the really liberating events via exhibits and are given the pleasure of watching a short film that guides them through the landmark structure and about the events that follows.

On the West Wind of Independence Hall is where the Declaration of Independence is secured. Not only is the official document on exhibit, there is plenty of other surviving copies of formal documents that sealed the fate of fellow Americans, including the silver inkstand that was used to sign all the documents.

When you are visiting this Philadelphia party bus tourist attraction, one must not miss the chance to make a stop at Independence Hall. The hall was where the terms of each and every single one of the constitution were debated and discussed. For those who are following the guided tour, the guides will usually take visitors from the east wing of the building.

History will never repeat itself again and this is the feeling guests and visitors will get when they step foot into Old City Hall. The hall was also used in 1793 when the Yellow Fever epidemic broke out and the hall was used by volunteers to counter the widespread disease.

So, in many ways, the Independence National HIstoric Park is as patriotic as patriotic can get.

Top Three Hot Spots For Singles In Philly

People celebrate love during anniversaries and people celebrate the spirit of being together either as a friend or a family member during special occasions but that is where the trouble is all spelt out for all the others out there who are....gasp....SINGLE.

Visiting Philadelphia on your own does not have to be boring, dreary, lonely or detached. This is perhaps one of the best times to come out on your own, make friends, hit up a conversation with a complete stranger and you might find yourself reveling in the love that the locals have to give Philadelphia party bus rental visitors to the Philly that they love.

Franklin Mortgage and Investment Co....don’t let the name scare you into heading out this amazing hidden gem in downtown Philadelphia. In the late 1920’s the company served up the city residents as one of the largest alcohol ring in the country. It has got quite a fiery and historically-significant image, we can assure you. In complete honesty, many people will simply regard the Franklin Mortgage as the epitome of speakeasy. Back when alcohol was not permitted to be either sold or consumed, speakeasy places like these were the only reprieve to those who were looking for party limo places to chill out and relax in Philadelphia. To say the least, they have mastered the art of their drinks, the recipes having being handed down from one generation to another; some would even go as far as saying that their drinks are absolute masterpieces and are irrefutably worth the premium prices that the customers are forking out. Willingly.

Not everyone is into speakeasy bars like this because they tend to be a little darker and quieter so, on one hand we have Franklin Mortgage and on the other hand, Philly gives you something a little more ‘modern’, so to speak, in the form of The Foodery. The Foodery offers Philadelphia luxury bus rental visitors and their special guests a chance to sample some palate-teasing fine selection of exquisite wine. The outlet boasts of a huge collection of some eight hundred (and counting) number of different American and Imported craft beers and wine. And it seems that the collection never ends. After sampling the wine, converted customers are given a choice of personalizing their own six-pack deal...six of their personal favorite sampled drinks to take home with them. People who commonly come to The Fooderies’ sampling are usually the social butterflies and creative class of people, so, you will most assuredly get to meet with people who are open-minded, friendly and absolutely in love with their drinks.

We understand the fact that not all singles are drinkers....so, how about a visit to Club Veg then? They hold monthly dinners at various different locations to suit the visitors to share recipes, ideals, ideas, and news. There is nothing like ‘common interest’ to bond strangers together. Who knows? Fast friends CAN turn into bosom buddies, after all.
