3 awesome things about your east coast city

Philadelphia, PA
3 great things everyone knows us for:
- cheesesteaks (that really are as delicious as we say they are)
- liberty bell & historical attractions. we <3 ben.
- rocky & the art museum. running up the steps with 200 other people is still fun. and the museum is always enjoyable.

3 great things you might not have known:
- we've got the most happening beer scene on the east coast.
- art! if you're in philly on the first friday of the month, you should make your way to old city to check out all of the galleries and local arts. the museum may have the picassos, but the artists coming out of philadelphia are just as groundbreaking.
- City living is fantastic. cheap & delicious local foods at reading terminal market, as well as tons of farmers markets. cheap & entertaining movies at the Trocadero and the Roxy. Or laying in Rittenhouse (or Washington) Square and reading a book from Fox bookstore!

My city:

1. I live an hour away from Philly

2. I live an hour away from 3 different beaches.

3. I live on the border between a small town and a historical town.

It's kinda lame. But what is there really to say about NJ...

Oh this is great! I'm new(ish) to my city (Bethlehem, PA), so I don't know TOO much about it, but from my perspective, here are 3 things I think are great.

1. Fun tiny tourist feel, with the star of Bethlehem lit up on the mountain top every night.
2. Old, old houses. Such charm, such character, so fun.
3. The eats- a new Kenyan restaurant, 2 Emeril restaurants, tiny cafes tucked away and more. :)
