🇺🇸 NY Student’s 2-Day Philly Speedrun (Full Itinerary!)

Philly might not be packed with attractions, but it’s perfect for a quick NYC getaway—here’s how I blitzed through the city in 48 hours! 🚂 Day 1: Art, Ivy Vibes & Abandoned Prisons 08:49 NY → 10:16 Philly (Amtrak) → Drop bags at hotel (near City Hall for easy access). 📍 City Hall Snap pics on the main axis road—epic backdrop with the clock tower! ⏰📸 📍 UPenn Campus Strolled through the Ivy League vibes—lush quads, grand libraries. Don’t miss: Fisher Fine Arts Library (gothic beauty) Franklin Field (where Ben Franklin’s statue chills) 📍 House of Our Own Books Lin Huiyin’s former home turned indie bookstore! Peek at her photos/calligraphy 🖋️ (hidden gem near campus). 📍 Philadelphia Museum of Art 🎨 Van Gogh’s Sunflowers, Picasso, Monet—plus the Rocky Steps for that obligatory sprint! 🏃‍♂️💨 📍 astern State Penitentiary Creepy-cool abandoned prison (Al Capone’s cell included!). Perfect for "jailhouse selfies" 🚔👮♂️ ⚖️ Day 2: History, Brains & Cheesesteaks 📍 Mütter Museum Saw Einstein’s brain slices 🧠 (no photos allowed!). The homelessness exhibit hit hard—super relevant to Philly. 📍 National Constitution Center US law nerds, rejoice! Interactive exhibits on the Constitution’s evolution. 📍 Independence Hall Where the Declaration was signed (yes, the $100 bill building!). Free tours but book ahead 7. 📍 Liberty Bell Quick peek at the cracked icon (lines move fast). 📍 City Walk Love Park (❤️ sculpture) → Curtis Institute (classical music hub). 19:07 Philly → 20:38 NY (Amtrak). 🍽️ Food Recs (Tested & Approved!) 🌭 Sonny’s Cheesesteak: Philly’s must-eat—juicy, messy, glorious 2. 🥤 Chicha San Chen: Top-tier boba—tea purists, this is your spot. 🍲 Ji Bei Chuan: Silky chicken noodles—comfort food MVP! 🍙 Bao Nine: "American bao"—unexpectedly delicious. 💡 Pro Tips Amtrak tickets: Book early for $15-$30 deals. Walkability: Most sights are 15-20 mins apart—comfy shoes a must! Safety: Stick to Center City/Uni areas at night. #PhillySpeedrun #NYCtoPhilly #IvyLeagueVibes #DarkTourism
