Top 10 Things to do in Chinatown, 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.

Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 28 reviews
The Trocadero Theatre was first opened in 1870, offering musical comedies and traveling minstrel shows under the name Arch Street Opera House. Later, vaudeville and burlesque came to its stage with notable professional showgirls performing burlesque during the 1950’s. The Theatre was refurbished in the late 1970’s for use as an art house cinema and fine arts theatre. In the 1980’s, the Theatre was remodeled as a dance club and finally for its current use as a concert hall and live music venue.Although the Theatre has undergone many notable changes, the utmost care has been taken to upkeep and modernize the facility while retaining its historical character. The Trocadero is the only 19th century Victorian theater still in operation in the United States. It is listed on the U.S. Register of Historic Places.

Reviewed By tjmoney44 - Pittsburgh, United States
Had read that this bar was the inspiration for the show "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" so when my brother and I were planning a pub crawl in Philly we knew it had to be included. The bar is much smaller than the one on the show and honestly doesn't resemble it that much, other than the vibe which is pretty much exactly what you would think of from the show. We only stayed for one drink, but the service was good and the crowd was lively. I wouldn't recommend going with a large group because it is not a big place, but I enjoyed my experience at Paddy's and would definitely return.

This is a very important museum to visit, especially with the president we currently have. It is essential to keep informed about slavery and the injustices of black people today in the US. Worth a visit.
