One of the bigger museums with great art collection. Famous steps from the Rocky movies and the statue of Rocky Balboa is at the bottom of the steps. You will see people posing for pics next to statue. Please do not ask," Where is the Rocky museum?" lol

Old school bakery that has been part of South Philly for generations. They give you a tray and you walk around the store selecting the pastries and cookies you want. They also have an outpost at the Italian Market in Redding Terminal at 11th Street btw Filbert and Arch streets

This place is infamous and you must take a walk through. There are specialty food concession stands like cheese, spices, meat, fish, produce and desserts. There are other spots throughout the market where you can sit down and eat a casual meal. For breakfast, I recommend the Downhome Diner and order the philly cheesesteak omlet. Amy's cookies and 4th street cookies get discounted to 50 cents and a dollar after 5pm shortly before the market closes. Delish! Baked fresh daily.
