Stayed three days and felt rushed, two neighborhoods were amazing, the rest felt kind of ordinary.
Weather killed half our plans, rainy and chilly even in late May, lots of construction too.
Nice museums and cheap eats, but expect crowds downtown on weekends and foggy mornings in spring.
Friendly people, cheap public transit, great late night food stalls, would come back in autumn.
Buy a SEPTA Key card at airport machines and reload online, it saves cash and is cheaper than paper fares.
