Don't plan on seeing a Phillies baseball game unless you buy tickets weeks, if not months, in advance. They've sold out every single game for almost two years, and tickets are actually going FASTER this year.
Flyers tickets should be purchased in advance as well, but will probably be less of a problem.
Philadelphia Sixers tickets should be no problem at all, unless they're playing a big name team.
As much as I love Philly, I don't recommend trying to see either NY or DC as day trips from Philly. You'll lose too much time in your commute, and there's just too much to see in both of these other places.
Hi,I'm so glad you want to visit Philly. I love this city. I can't show you around but, I have a few good tips that I will share on a traveloge I'm starting. But, right now what I can say is go to Pat's for a cheesesteak-you have to get one in Philly and you can order in any language there.
Hi, Geno's and Pat's are really the tourists destination hub for cheesesteaks. Being from Philly, I would recommend Tony Luke's or Jim Steaks on South Street, both are very good. The Reading Terminal is also a great place to start if you are looking for different types of food. If you are looking for any restaurants to go to, Philadelphia Magazine just released their top 50 restaurant guide. I believe you can find it at www.phillymag.com.
Good luck!

This is a helpful website to visit before you leave for Philadelphia. They have a very comprehensive list of activities for the Philadelphia region.

If you plan to stay in the city to sight-see, perhaps I can acquaint you with the layout of the city. There are a number of center city districts:
Adjacent to the west of Old Town/Cultural District is the Convention Center District and the Washington Square District. (The Lights of Liberty Center is just across the border in Washington Square District from the Old City District.) The Convention Center District has (voila!) the Convention Center, Chinatown, African American Museum, The Gallery (shopping), and a number of hotels including Travelodge, Hampton Inn, Marriott, and Courtyard. The Washington Square District is the home of Thomas Jefferson University, Jeweler's Row, Antique Row, Lord and Talylor (shopping), Forrest and Walnut Street Theaters, Lights of Liberty Center, and Washington Square (tomb of the unknown soldier). Hotels in this area include Holiday Inn Express, Loews, Alexander Inn, Doubletree.
This is a wonderful little house and the costumed guides are excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed talking to "Betsy" who played her role very authentically. I enjoyed the kitchen of the house because I'm still collecting tools for our restored fireplace. I felt right at home.
The Ben Franklin Parkway connects City Hall with the Philadelphia Museum of Art and also is a conduit between Center City and Fairmount Park. Along the way, you'll find the Franklin Institute, the Free Library, the Rodin Museum, the Cathdral of S.S. Peter and Paul and other interesting sights. Originally, it was supposed to be Philly's version of the Champs Elysees, but I wouldn't go so far to draw that comparison.
