At behest and via the courtesy of the Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation, Jaunted spent the weekend in 6th Borough for a sleepover and tour--meaning this trip was on Ben Franklin, Rocky, and Boyz II Men--or something like that. Our thoughts are scattered below. Enjoy.

Head on over the the Jaunted Flickr pool to view a batch of new pictures not included in our Philadelphia Field Trip posts. From brunch to art to street art and back to brunch again, it's a small but satisfying sample of what Philly has to offer (we were there for fewer than 48 hours, after all).

Final thoughts on Philly? If you're a New Yorker with a chip on your shoulder, it could be hard to stomach. Let the embarassment of the New York Times' "6th borough" headline go, because Philadelphia doesn't think it's New York, and it doesn't want to be either. Philly's pretty big, but still a small town at heart. The music and dining scenes are certainly bustling, though, and not in a trying-too-hard way. A new BYOB is usually just a step away, and it isn't as hard as it once was to find a good show to go to every night of the week. We won't be moving there, but wouldn't mind returning for some shopping and a meal.

We may be back home now, but we still welcome your Philly tips with open arms. Leave 'em in the comments or send to tips [at] jaunted [d-o-t] com.
