Any advice on a weekend trip to Philadelphia?

any recommendations on places or areas to stay where we can walk most places? I know there's a lot of crime but have no idea where it's mostly concentrated.

Benjamin Franklin's grave and Betsy Ross's house are very close to all that as well

Tourists tend to stay in center city but I find you still need to uber for attractions. You aren't walking to the museums or the attractions in old city. Give me list of what you want to see

You take the Philly Phlash that loops around the major attractions. It costs $5 for a day pass.
Reading Terminal is a must.

I live in Philly, it really depends on what you want to do.

Some of my recs:

For sure walk through Independence Square area. You need to book a time to go into Indy Hall, so in the visitor center you can book a time and come back another time. Liberty Bell is free but usually a wait (honestly, I would just look at it from the outside). Personally, I think it's cool just to walk through the area.

Friday seems like it may be shitty weather, but Saturday, although cold, should be nice and sunny. Old City is very nice, lots of old beautiful homes, great places to eat and drink.

I would say for sure walk through the Chinatown area, there are some great Dim Sum places if you like that type of food. Dim Sum Garden is my favorite. Lots of Ramen and Pho places too

Fish town area is cool, just go down Frankford Ave. NuNu is a new Japanese type of place with tons of Sake and good cocktails. Bottle Bar is a good place with tons and tons of beer, solid food. Garage Bar is fun, it's very open, in and old auto place. Barcade is fun, it has lots of old video games like an arcade. There are places also on Girard, and a few cool places on Front St.

Center City...I mean there are so many bars, so many restaurants, so many places to go. If you like Italian, my favorite is Little Nonna, but not sure if you'll need a reservation. El Vez is fun mexican, it's not like Tex-Mex, it's pricey but it's great. Vedge is a vegetarian restaurant that is absolutely incredible. As said before, Amada is terrific. By El Vez, there are 6-7 bar/restaurants that are great.

Sightseeing...do the Rocky Steps at the Museum of Art. The Museum itself is HUGE so unless you want to spend many hours in there, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it if you only have a few days. The best part of Philly is the history. You don't even need to go into places, just walk by and walk on the cobblestone streets and read all the history signs. Before the 6ers game, spend a little time in Xfinity Live. It's a bit of a shitshow but it is enormoussss and people can get rowdy before games.

Cheesesteaks are cheesesteaks. My favorite is Jims on South St, but that's also because its 1 block away from me

Sorry if it wasn't clear. I meant to say that if you stay in center city you won't be walking to the museums or old city sights anyways. Stay in old city and you will reduce the amount of ubering you will do
