Full Description
In a city this big, there are lots of hidden nooks that hold wonderful, uniquely Philadelphian treasures. By all means, visit the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall -- the historic district can still inspire even the most jaded Philadelphian. But this guide will also help you uncover houses that still have bullet holes and bloodstains from the Revolutionary War; churches where the graveyards out back hold statuary worthy of a museum; and an abandoned prison that's become a venue for the arts. It's these odds and ends that this book explores, along with worthy restaurants, shops, collections, and gardens often missed by those who stick to the trail well trod.
