For great food and atmosphere eat at Tequilas.
the Museum of Art was in the Rocky film and has a statue of Stallone as Rocky. IIRC, it is near the Schuylkil River (pronounced School Kill) and you can watch people rowing on the river from a thin patch of grass and trees along the side of the river (pretty sure this is the only place to see grass and trees in that wretched city).
South Street has tons of bars. Yuengling (pronounced ying ling) is brewed in Philly and it is worth trying.
Have fun and try not to get killed. Remember: people in Philadelphia are uneducated and violent and they hate you (no matter who you are).

Yuengling is an decent beer but nothing special. Worth trying bc it's the oldest brewery in the country. Also, if you go to a bar and want to order one, you don't have to say give me a yuengling - if you just say, I'll take a lager, the bartender will know you want a Yuengling. If you find Troegs (especially Nugget Nectar), Sly Fox, or Yards, I'd drink all of these pennsylvania beers over yuengling, and of course victory, but i think they distribute nationwide anyway.
