Philadelphia has both a very unique food and unique nightlife scene. There is a plethora of choices to be made, and there are quite a few gems out there, especially off the beaten path. There are tons of clubs if that's your thing as well as bars that cater to specific tastes.

By and large Philadelphia and the surrounding area's weather is really nice. In the summer it can get pretty damn hot if you're in the city, but that's what water ice is for! As far as the winter goes, snow can get pretty deep, but there is nothing funner than sledding down the Art Museum's steps!!!!
