Philly will remind you a lot of Boston. I know when I went to Boston, I was amazed how much it seemed like Philly. Both have a historic look to them with lots of things all within walking distance of each other. Philly has tons of nice restaurants and bars, the historic area with all the founding father's history, and some nice museums if you are into that. For gambling, Atlantic City is an hour and a half away. My favorite places to take people were always the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, The Portrait Gallery at the First National Bank, The Italian Market, The Reading Terminal Market, The Rodin Museum and The Zoo. I also had a best beer bars tour I put together for my friends that we did a few times (we never seemed to make it to the last couple bars though). Go to Old City at night for the night life, or if you want a little wilder, South Street can be fun too. I love Philly. It's a very underrated city.
