At Least I'm Not in Philadelphia -- W.C. Fields' Gravestone

[flwyd]

I learned last week that I'll be in Philadelphia for work next Sunday through Thursday afternoon.

Poking around on some maps, there are several positive qualities to this. First, I like a city where you don't have to drive. Our client is at City Hall, my hotel is a few blocks away. Second, I like a city where a mall isn't just about shopping. A few blocks in the other direction from the hotel is Independence Mall. (Of course, the museums are only open during business hours...) Third, I like a city with funk. The area around Independence Mall dates back to the 17th Century -- there's bound to be some funk built up in that time. Plus, apparently Chinatown is between the hotel and the mall... { ♩ I want to take you to Chinatown! ♩ }

So what I'd like to know (from those of you that know) -- what should I make sure to see in the City of Brotherly Love given (a) I'll be at work during the day and (b) I'm allergic to Philly Cheese Steak...

If the journal post about arriving on the 27th is accurate, we won't, as I leave the 25th.
