The gays really know how to pick a spot. Haha. Great location. So many restaurants.Saw a game in Philly a couple of summers ago with an old friend and was very impressed with the park.
Ended up booking a hotel in the Gayborhood without knowing anything about the area, we were a little confused at first but the location was excellent and there were great restaurants all around. I'm sure everyone assumed my friend and I were a gay couple, but so what...we are buddies going back to high school and try to meet up somewhere in the country once a year and drink a lot.
Also did the obligatory Liberty Bell/etc walkthrough, Geno's for lunch (got the whiz of course), art museum, and all kinds of bars. Hit the battleship in NJ on the way home.
Most prominent memory was viewing Dali's Soft Construction With Boiled Beans at the art museum, it just got into my head and I couldn't stop looking at it. Such a strange man, but some of his works are just incredible.
Definitely saw some of the famous Philly fan behavior, the visitor's bullpen was very accessible to the crowd and they were really giving it to a very chubby Brewers pitcher, probably Albers. Felt bad for him but still laughed...
Great trip! I like Philly.
Beautiful park and the visitors pen is a great spot to see the Philly fans. A Red's pitcher wanted me to come down and fight him once, he got sent back down to the minors at the end of the series.
