Mutter Museum
The Mutter Museum is a classic Philadelphia thing to do. Sorry if you Philadelphian experts already know about this one, but I think it’s an important thing to highlight. The Mutter Museum is a historical medical museum. Check out the study of medicine through the years and well-preserved anatomical specimens. Students with valid ID’s can enter for $10. It’s located on 22nd Street between Walnut and Chestnut. Here’s their website.

Delicious Food and Green Environment
Sometimes nothing is better than a burger. Or a shake. Or something equally amazing from the Shake Shack. It is conveniently located near Rittenhouse Square. Bonus? This restaurant was created in June, so you can be the cool one in your group that’s informed on what’s new in town. The decor is something that should be noted. The tables and floors are recycled historical mills in Philadelphia. Sounds pretty awesome to me. Here’s their website!

Some of their stage costumes are nothing short of a work of art. It lasts until Jan 30th and costs $10/adult. Here’s the museum’s website for more info.

Free Play Reading in Philly!
Do you like plays? Want to influence the Philly theater scene without stepping onstage? Then come to Monday night’s free reading of “Man in Love” at the Wilma Theater! After watching the reading, audience members can discuss the show, helping the theater decide whether to include a fully staged performance of the play during next year’s season. This is a free event, but you have to call or e-mail the theater to register for tickets. To get to the theater, take the R-5 to Center City, walk to 30th Street Station, take the Market-Frankford Line to 15th Street, and then walk ten minutes to S. Broad St. For a description of “Man in Love” as well as ticket info, visit https://wilmatheater.org/play-readings
