Eulogy Belgian Tavern

0 comments
As a survivor of many pub crawls, I would compare the beer selection at Eulogy to the famous Peculiar Pub in NYC.

Eulogy features Philadelphia's largest beer selection with an amazing menu of over 300 international and domestic craft brewed bottled beers and 21 draught beers.

For the true connoisseur, Philadelphia's Eulogy Belgian Tavern is hard to beat.

The Mütter Museum - Collection of Medical Oddities

0 comments
Philadelphia has long been a center for medical research and education. Even today, over a quarter of all doctors in the United States receive part of their education in the city of brotherly love.

The College of Physicians, the oldest professional medical organization in the U.S., is home to the most unique of all Philadelphia attractions: the Mütter Museum.

The museum is best known for its large collection of skulls and anatomical specimens including a wax model of a woman with a human horn growing out of her forehead, the tallest skeleton on display in North America, a nine-foot-long human colon[1] that contained over 40 pounds of fecal matter, and the petrified body of the mysterious Soap Lady, whose corpse was turned into a soapy substance called adipocere.

If you're looking for things to do in Philadelphia and want a break from the usual historic tourist sites, the Mütter Museum is the place to go.

Love is still in the sand for the Phillies.

The folks at Franklin Square have dedicated their annual sand sculpture to the world champion Philadelphia Phillies.

As you can see from the photo, the detail is amazing. Bring your cameras and come to Franklin Park, which is located at 6th and Race Street, just off the Ben Franklin Bridge.

Masonic Temple

0 comments
A showcase of grand, almost mythical, architecture and design

The Masonic Temple in Philadelphia was constructed in 1873. It has been called one of the great "wonders" of the Masonic world. Adorned with some of the finest artifacts of Freemasonry and magnificent Lodge rooms based on themes of the ancient architectural world, the Masonic Temple connects us with our past by outwardly displaying our Masonic traditions and values.

Experience the magic of the Masonic Temple. You will not be disappointed.
