wives like the kop mall, just leave YOUR cc at the hotel. LIST ::::
valley forge park
oaks, for fast, indoor go-carting
philadelphia premium outlet are GREAT, located in limerick
penns landing: Philadelphia's central waterfront. LOOOONG stretch of bars/restaurants. located along jfk blvd, aka columbus blvd.
festival pier @ penns landing. great concerts, like o.a.r. boards, not huge but fun. flamping lips will be there in may.
chart house @ penns landing. excellent seafood and steak.
rock lobster @ penns landing. festive bar/club, band plays outdoor. not dressy.
dave and busters @ penns landing, huge arcade for adults. bar, ok food, GREAT for large parties. GREAT pool tables, many, with tvs. two fully stocked bars. can get crowded, it's like a casino, weekend nights are packed.
also, outdoor ice skating -olympic size rink- penns landing (obviously, only in the winter months).

phillies are at home tonight. lots of women go to phillies games, it's not like eagles games. great food, voted best in baseball last year.
olde city, is really cool, lots of history. all walkable, they have tours. great spots to eat outside. and very cool bars/pubs. there is an old movie theater here as well.
lucky strike is a trendy bowling alley/lounge, near city hall.
across the street from ^, is the best place to eat dinner EVAR. FOGO DE CHAO
Each guest uses a two-sided disk to control the pace of their meal. The green side signals the Gaucho chefs to bring out skewers of sizzling fire-roasted meats to carve at the table. The red side indicates a stopping point. Turning back to green lets the Gaucho chefs know to start offering the meats again.
just a very short walk from LS and FDC is Broad street. about 5-6 different theaters with broadway type shows/concerts.
walk the other way around city hall to LOVE PARK. Very cool spot and excellent view of the parkway that leads to the art museum.
south street. it's an edgy district of shopping/bars/water ice/ice cream/more shopping. if you guys love shoe/sneaker shopping, you'll find at least 10 stores here. walkable from the lower end of penns landing.
Considering the beautiful weather today, I'd do south street.
unless she's a jap. in which case, do olde city. or manayunk district: long stretch of "main street" type shops. VERY cool/trendy shopping for women, upscale names. bars, restaurants (dine outside on the river or on the sidewalks, two bicycle shops 1 high-end, 1 low-end, motorcycle shop, ice cream, etc. wear sneakers though.
GREAT byob near the main line is Meridith's, in Berwyn
10 Leopard Rd.
Berwyn, PA
610.251.0265
