Top 10 Nightlife in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (PA)
One of the most historic cities in America, Philadelphia is an ideal place to spend a weekend - preferably a long one. Be sure to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, where the Constitution and Declaration of Independence were signed. Both are part of Independence National Historic Park. Philadelphia also boasts some outstanding art museums, including the Rodin Museum. The Franklin Institute Science Museum is one of many area attractions honoring the life and work of Benjamin Franklin, the city's most famous ambassador. After digesting all of that history, be sure you save room for a classic Philly cheese steak sandwich.

Order: Standard cannoli, Dirty espresso Price: $9 Pros: Best cannoli I’ve ever eaten, remarkably unique hot chocolate, the owner is very friendly Cons: The chocolate in the hot chocolate is so rich that it would be hard to finish alone Thoughts: Let me start by saying I would eat myself into oblivion with their cannoli. They are mind blowing, life changing, reality altering (take your pick of extreme over-the-top descriptors)! When I saw them in the window not filled with cream yet, I knew these were the ones. The crust was perfect, crispy but not hard, like a cookie that breaks easily with just the perfect amount of snap. The filling was delightful, none of the standard bland, flavorless whipped cream nonsense. It had body to it, a thick rich flavorful cream stuffed into the perfect pastry. I was in heaven. So now for the rest of the review, though honestly you should know by now that you have to go there. The interior is very, um…..eclectic, it’s a bizarre mish mash of all sorts of different decorations that doesn’t quite seem to match, but still somehow works together. The menu is a little complicated in that most of the items don’t really have a description they just have a name of drink. Fortunately the staff were very helpful and funny to boot, so ultimately deciding wasn’t that hard especially since one of them had coffee. Watching him make the drink was also neat, they have different blends of chocolate they called chocolate salami that they shave over the hot chocolate. The chocolate itself is delicious but very heavy and rich. There were two of us drinking it so it worked perfectly but if you were trying to drink this on your own it would be really challenging, so that really just means you need to bring someone with you! I can’t recommend going to RIM enough and buying all their cannoli, and then shipping me some in Florida….please!

I was taken here by a co-worker who lives and has worked bars in Philly with the boast that it has one of best selections of beers in town. And it is probably true. You can spend hours trying to decide what to have - especially if you like Belgian type beers. The food is simply and good - nothing fancy or that will leave you blown away, but what they have matches with the beer, decor and atmosphere is very bar like. Will be back and will take others there.
