Historic Old City Dine Around
Overview
A guided Dine-Around through America’s birthplace, blending the story of 1776 with the flavors of present-day Philadelphia. Feast your eyes and taste buds on Philadelphia’s most iconic foods and their foundations as you explore Old City, the neighborhood at the heart of the nation’s founding, on this 4-course Dine-Around.
You’ll start near Independence Hall with hearty dishes and lesser-told stories that go beyond what’s in the textbooks. From there, stroll cobblestone alleyways and visit must-see landmarks while your guide shares how Philly’s food scene evolved from revolutionary roots to modern flavors and how Old City fits into the 250-year story of the United States.
Along the way, you’ll stop at a spirited pub known for Creole cuisine and tales of colonial sailors, then wrap up at America’s oldest confectionery/creamery for a sweet finish. Expect a satisfying meal spread across four carefully chosen eateries, plus plenty of time to soak in Old City’s architecture and atmosphere.
