Desperate For A Getaway?
by Allison Winn Scotch
So, clearly, after inhaling a cheesesteak, we now need to get
the blood flowing and burn off a few calories. What's up for the
afternoon? An interesting place, one of my favorites, is
Independence National Historic Park. It's where the Liberty Bell,
Independence Hall, and the Graff House, where Thomas Jefferson
lived and the Declaration of Independence was written, are located.
It's an amazing part of our country's history. It is so good to be
able to see and feel this history. To understand and remind
ourselves what
America is and what we want it to be. To remember
the passion that people had hundreds of years ago to create this
country and to use that passion to fight for what you personally
believe in. Also, if it's nice outside, a trip to Valley Forge,
where
Washington's troops camped, is always fun.
After such a good history lesson, I think it's time to refresh
and relax. What hotel is fit for the founding fathers and
television stars? I'd head to the Ritz-Carlton. They have
amazing rooms, and the service can't be beat. And after a quick nap
- hopefully - we'd head back out to kick off the evening.
And where would we do that? You're a former Bond girl, so I'd
venture a guess that we'd have to start off with a good
martini. Yes, I'd kick off the evening with a delicious martini
at the Continental Restaurant and Martini Bar in Old City. They
have the biggest martini menu anywhere in the city. I've also
enjoyed having cocktails with friends at Marmont and at 32 Degrees,
where they have ice cubes that light up. It makes the drink a
novelty, but it's still a fun and adult evening out.
So what's your favorite drink? Oh, a pomegranate margarita
or a grapefruit martini.
