@@HereBeBarrnah actually what happened was, I got dropped off the bus near the basketball court, my moms house is a short walk over, chris rock just lives a few hoises down and so I saw some big buff guys playing some basketball at like midday, since im a good basketball player and we bet 20$ for a won game, they felt hustled and beat me up, so on my way to moms hoise she said Will! What happened to you! You look like nearby road kill before the basketball court! I said, actually momma, its funny you said that, she said dont talk atm, you just head right up stairs and bsg up some clothes, I knew this area was unsafe for kids at your age! Luckily i still have the number for your uncle Phil! So she said Phil my poor boy Will got rough housed, is there any way you can arrange a way to come over to live at your place in Bel Air? He said Oh sure, a few years later though, he had quite a while to become “fresh” like me especially his spiffy wine house for a boy Carlton lol
@@cherrelle40 Great question! Short answer, yes. I like Penn’s Landing and the various family amenities in n around there. The river views during the day n night are fantastic! Plus we liked the indoor pool at the Hilton. We toured Old City and walked to Reading Terminal Market. I’ve never stayed at Loews so I can’t honestly give an honest review of the hotel itself. However, it is a stones throw away from Reading Terminal Market.
Philly is such an underappreciated city...not really a touristy town, at least not international tourism. Great video, focusing on the off the beaten path things to do.
Excellent video. Nice to see you in Philly & having a good time. The city gets a bad rap a lot, but it really does have a lot of goodness to it and good people. That turkey sandwich looked AMAZING. One thing I love about you is that you don't feel like you have to take delicate bites because you are on camera. You really GO FOR IT and I love that !! From a former Staten Islander who ended up here somehow. I'm kinda between Philly & Allentown.
I was in Philly in 2012 and I was very pleasantly surprised by this great city. What I missed in your video was the Reading Terminal Market. A huge selection of food and products from local farmers and producers. But you also showed great other things in the video and I hope to travel to Philly again in the near future.
at the end of this video he lists another Philly video where he goes to Reading Terminal. So don't think he's forgotten it! But I would also include it in my 24 hours in Philly. Maybe go there instead of the roller rink which is closing soon.
I know both cities well (born Manhattan, lived much life near Philly in Central Jersey, and college in Philly). Roller rink a waste of time, cannot compare to Ince skating in Bryant park. Reading Market a gem, much better than the commercialized Chelsea Market. Flower show best in the world although due to Covid outdoors now but the indoors version at the convention center is very good (and near the Reading Market...). Need a stop in South Philly for a Cheesesteak. Segways are legal and the tours are GREAT. Philadelphia Art Museum is NYC caliber with beautiful grounds and parking. In fact, Philly has a very good public parking garage system so all areas can be driven to since it is smaller than NYC and not an island. Hoagies in Philly need coverage as the food scene which you covered a little. In fact, I would state that the food is better in Philly than NYC. Liberty Bell needs coverage, but this at least a couple hours in the National park area.
back in early 90s, my family had a long layover in Philly. So we hopped the train and ended up in the middle of an outdoor market, eating fresh shucked oysters & clams, other street food, as we walked the city. I remember seeing whole cows being carved into steaks, live chicken & ducks in cages. The smell of fresh baked goods in the air on a drizzly autumn afternoon. That was my only time in Philadelphia. Such east coast vibes
Another practical excellent simple travel guide from Jon. Nailed it as usual. It’s a place I want to visit. I have just watched Jon’s other Philadelphia travel guide and that is worth watching to. It really is very close to New York by train.
Going Philly for first time in January while in NYC. A day trip leave 6am. Surprised you not go to the ‘Rocky steps’ that’s where all tourists certainly go while in Philly.
Nice! Haven’t been to Philly since 99 so maybe time to visit. Lots of relatives there and memories… Laser Wolf very interesting- might checkout Brooklyn one. Also watched your older vid linked. Definitely props for art museum and if like classic modern art definitely one of the best! Think what I’m missing is South street and for museums Rodin and science museum really worth visiting. Also still have memories of best night clubs / don’t remember names but remember one that had 2 indoor bars, one outdoor bar and beach volleyball court!
Philly definitely gets overlooked due to being a hop, skip and a jump from NYC. The city should be on more tourist's radar. One Liberty Deck was Philadelphia's highest observation deck (@900 feet). Unfortunately, the pandemic caused it to permanently close. The highest current observation deck in Philly is city hall @ 550 feet. The good news is that the admission price is only $19.00 for adults and $14.00 for childern under 12, so it is a very affordable attraction.
Thanks enjoyed seeing some nice things Philadelphia has to offer like always you eat darn good n you are a brave man to just get on roller skates. No way for me man. Take care be well Bill in Fort Wayne Indiana
Awesome video. Bummer, you were staying right across the Street from me. Hit me up next time you come to Philly I can share our hidden parks and areas we Philly ppl love.
Good Friday Afternoon My Friend When You Go Skating Always Have A Trainer With You I Personally Will Train You How To Skate You Did A Phenomenal Job In Philadelphia Much Love Always Ms British Gray From Tampa Florida Blessings :)
I live in phily. Just came to see how you did. The one thing id say is go to spruce street harbor park at night. Theres alo roller skating at ice skating there. you could definitely spend a whole day at that park. Also, if you want to get out of center city, Id reccomend walking up passyunk ave from broad and snyder. Go past pats and genos and walk up 9th street. turn right on south street and then turn left at second street and walk around old city. This is a long walk, but its definitely the best way to get the most out of the city.
I’m a Philly native & foodie! I’d loved to give you locations and spots to go to! Philly is a great diverse place to eat. Each neighborhood has some much to bring to the table
Hi! I really like your videos. Did you know that Philly is 42.2% Black? While I loved seeing the spots you highlighted, and great spotlight on the Mexican restaurant; but would you mind showcasing a Black-owned business next time you are in the city?
The rollerskating looks scary! I remember trying to rollerblade around my city three years ago and ended up flipping over on my back. Luckily I was wearing a backpack to catch my fall, but after that experience, I was like, nope not for me. Had to get a bike. Much easier to keep my balance.
I like Philadelphia for what it is. Nowhere near the hustle and bustle level of Chicago or NYC, but pretty affordable and pretty digestible for people who don’t go to cities often. Not for me though, just doesn’t have the same energy as other major cities
0:51 Awwww I'm so proud to see an Israeli eatery flourishing & getting recommended and regardless Philly ended up as my favourite city when I visited America back then and now knowing that a lil piece of my country has a stronghold in the US's awesomest city I'm more sure than ever to visit again! ❤❤❤ Woody's I'm coming! 🏳️🌈
Philly is ghetto lol. It’s not the most tourist place to be, although they are trying their best to turn into it over the years, especially making it look like New York….But I hope you enjoyed it though!
Philly could be a fun town to visit if not for the violent nature of its inhabitants, corrupt political structures, parking police and generalized rampant theft. When staying in Philly hotels I would strongly advise against maid service and advise for securing any valuables. It is also important to understand that there is no safe from violence areas in Philly. If you take a car to Philly and it needs to be serviced for some reason, I recommend you take it to one of the surrounding counties for service.

It's great to see philly through your eyes. Keep going! These are fantabulous!
Philly is so much fun! I've stayed at the HIlton - great experience. The food, the history, art...there's so much to do. Nice job this one!
Would you reccomend the hilton canopy over Loews Philadelphia downtown?

Totally agree!
I can't wait to visit philly in the summer this year. It looks like a fun city😄
Haha nice man. Being from Philly this is very wholesome content .
thanks for the vibe you bring to me.
Officially my favorite non NYC video of yours 🎉
Wow, thank you!
Really enjoyed watching the places you visited! Will have to check out Laser Wolf, looks amazing!
Zahav even better! =)
I'm definitely trying the roast pork followed by going to Verde for the chocolate 🍫
Tequila and Mezcal combined...I'm in! Looks like a nice weekend getaway from NYC. 👍

What a fantastic place to visit with all that delicious food and attractions. Thanks for sharing 👍 🥰
very cool Jon. We've put philly on our Summer 2023 list.

Good thing I’ve lived in between Philly & Trenton in Levittown PA, now Bristol 😂 always loved going to Philly
I think I started watching your videos after looking for Philadelphia Travel Guide few months ago! Now I would like to see Philly in summer!
Thank you John. Another superb video

I got a Playlist covering the entire Broad Street Line. The Market-Frankford Line as well. I'm a proud Philly native
Food looks so good!
Thank you 😋

We are visiting Philly next summer and always love your NYC videos! Thanks for all the great suggestions:)
great non tourist philly vid
you would like fishtown and northern liberties
The flower show will be back indoors next year
Going Philly for first time in January while in NYC.
A day trip leave 6am.
Surprised you not go to the ‘Rocky steps’ that’s where all tourists certainly go while in Philly.
I go a couple times a month, I'm going tomorrow. One of my favorite US cities👍
Great tour of Philly. I want to go visit now. Thanks for showing.
You should!
Wish I knew you were gonna be in the city! I could give you intel on the best local spots.
Next time!!
You & that frog! You looked like a little boy, so cute.🐸
hahah
My son in the ninth grade pointed at it like that looks like a cool place to eat.
Excellent video! I took a day trip here from DC this past Thursday, wish I saw this video sooner! Great detail & videography as usual
Top tier city!
Thanks for sharing the spots!

@@HereBeBarr Agreed! I guess get lost between Washington and New York :)

Love Philly ♥️
Thanks I plan on visiting in the Spring!
Flower show, shrimp tacos, the skate park looks good. I'm too chicken to try it.
I live in Fargo North Dakota and you definitely did it right.
great video, thanks
High Street Philly😱 I missed that place when I did my road trip!
My dog snowy was born in Philly!! 😁😄😆
the halo gold of effect of living with a upward horns twist.
Apologies if this has been covered, but have you found anywhere that serves haggis around NYC? Thanks, big fan
Thanks enjoyed seeing some nice things Philadelphia has to offer like always you eat darn good n you are a brave man to just get on roller skates. No way for me man. Take care be well
Bill in Fort Wayne Indiana
I visited Philly in May I love that city
I need to come to Philly again it’s been soooo long😭😭😭
Awesome video. Bummer, you were staying right across the Street from me. Hit me up next time you come to Philly I can share our hidden parks and areas we Philly ppl love.
Nice selection of stuff to do in Philadelphia... Surprised you didn't visit the eastern state pen where al Capone stayed
I'm surprised that Jon hasn't made a video about the skyrocketing rent in NYC
That's an idea down the road.
I wish this came out last week while I was there :(
Good Friday Afternoon My Friend
When You Go Skating Always Have A Trainer With You I Personally Will Train You How To Skate You Did A Phenomenal Job In Philadelphia
Much Love Always Ms British Gray From Tampa Florida Blessings :)
Thanks
Great video! What’s the best way to get around in Philly? Uber, Bus, Rental Car?
Nice now if you can do Washington DC be sweet love the content
Thank you 🙏
Hey Jon ! It's good to know that I don't always have to eat Philly chessesteak in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia is a mix of NYC,Boston,and Washington DC in one.
I live real close to harbor park it’s fun there

Bassetts Ice Cream Reading Market Philly really good
Happy Early Birthday, Adrianna! I would think skating on a giant chessboard would be so visually confusing it would thoroughly mess with my balance!
Yeah.. I’ll use that excuse 😙😙
Heading there in a week
I’ve been watching your nyc videos daily for my trip and I don’t plan on going to New Jersey I’m just watching for fun 😂
This is Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Hi! I really like your videos. Did you know that Philly is 42.2% Black? While I loved seeing the spots you highlighted, and great spotlight on the Mexican restaurant; but would you mind showcasing a Black-owned business next time you are in the city?
YES MA'AM! PHILLY POWER!
Na.
0:00 I think I’ve been there before but only on the road not the bridges
The rollerskating looks scary! I remember trying to rollerblade around my city three years ago and ended up flipping over on my back. Luckily I was wearing a backpack to catch my fall, but after that experience, I was like, nope not for me. Had to get a bike. Much easier to keep my balance.
Roller skating is not for me haha
Are there any comparisons between NYC and Philly that you noticed?
Yeah some of the architecture for sure
I like Philadelphia for what it is. Nowhere near the hustle and bustle level of Chicago or NYC, but pretty affordable and pretty digestible for people who don’t go to cities often. Not for me though, just doesn’t have the same energy as other major cities
Philadelphia is basically for those who wanna live in the Northeast corridor on a budget.
0:51 Awwww I'm so proud to see an Israeli eatery flourishing & getting recommended and regardless Philly ended up as my favourite city when I visited America back then and now knowing that a lil piece of my country has a stronghold in the US's awesomest city I'm more sure than ever to visit again! ❤❤❤ Woody's I'm coming! 🏳️🌈
Israeli cuisine is a big deal here. I can’t stress enough how amazing and authentically philly is doing the Israeli cuisine game.
I saw the video…Decided to go to the flower show tomorrow, turns out the flower show ended 5 days ago on 19th…😔
😖
Roth man is a fun place to
0:52 Nice
U don't know how many husbands u just gave LIFE to..SALUTE
How did you get around?
Ben does it for the FOOD
I am a native of Philadelphia. This is very “touristy”
Sometime
I'm going to Philadelphia
Over my dead body
Philly is ghetto lol. It’s not the most tourist place to be, although they are trying their best to turn into it over the years, especially making it look like New York….But I hope you enjoyed it though!
When were you in Philly?
Last week!
A lot different than the Badlands
Ole boy did not like the soup lol
I was going to say aren’t you a new york city guy lol
The real attractions are the night clubs
Get in a shot out like always that’s the usual of thing of philly
Looks like Mole Sauce.
Looting is clearly high on the list.
Healthy options. LoLski
