OUR PHILLY FAVORITES

Philly offers a variety of places to eat, art exhibits to explore, historical landmarks to visit, LGBTQIA+ establishments to support, or tourist attractions to take in. Check out our Philly-based Executive Team's faves!

“The art at Magic Gardens is absolutely incredible, especially if you have an affinity toward mosaic art! It’s a quick walking distance from any of the hotels and a great walk-through if you’re in a time crunch.”

“One of my favorite eateries is Pearl & Mary’s. It has fantastic seafood and great happy hour specials. It's also known for some pretty spectacular mocktail options for those interested.”

“My favorite little gem in the city is Spruce Street Harbor Park. It’s easily one of the most ‘Instagrammable’ parks in Philly, with hammocks for relaxing and ideal water (read wood-er) views of the Delaware River.”

Bob & Barbara's is the quintessential neighborhood bar where everyone is part of the family. B&Bs is home to one of the longest running drag shows in Philly (27 years and counting)! You’ll have to order a City Wide while there - or as the locals call it, 'a special' - to get the true B&Bs experience.”

If you have downtime, check out some of our team’s recommendations, or explore Visit Philly’s LGBT+ top picks at visitphilly.com/lgbt.
