EDITOR’S ITINERARY JESSICA GREEN CELEBRATING 80 YEARS OF TRAVEL

The Essential Philadelphia Philly is best known for its history and endearing grit. But it's also home to many outdoor spaces and national parks. If you only have limited time to make the most of this amazing city, we can show you how. This month, turn your attention to Sister Cities Park, where you can get a taste of the city in less than two hours.

80 MINUTES IN:

Sister Cities Park Just because your summer destination is in a big city doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy nature. With tons of national parks, the area around Philly is known for lush landscapes, picturesque waterfalls and hiking trails. But you don’t have to leave the city limits to enjoy the greenery. In alleyways and nestled between big buildings, there are areas perfect for enjoying the outdoors—you just have to know where to look. One of these spots is Sister Cities Park, which offers a café with outdoor seating, a children’s discovery garden, a boat pond and a visitor’s center. Bring the family and spend some time enjoying the greenery—you may even forget where you are for a bit. 210 N. 18th St., 215.440.5500, ccdparks.org/sister-cities-park.

The savvy traveler’s guide to finding fun in Philadelphia

SIP + SWIRL

Shaken and Stirred Herbal and vegetable cocktails have evolved beyond the mojito and the Bloody Mary. In Philly, bartenders are greening (and purpling) drinks with things like tarragon, thyme, celery juice and beets, making cocktails with just as many health benefits as your meal. So bring up a stool and get ready to drink your vegetables.

OYSTER HOUSE “One of the best ways to create fresh, bright flavors in a cocktail, especially one that pairs well with food, is to use herbs,” says Colin O’Neill, bartender at the city’s eminent oyster spot.

This season, Oyster House is featuring a pair of herb-accented drinks. The Hotline Bling, named for the Weekend song, starts with green tea infused with lemongrass and spearmint that’s sweetened and mixed with Cognac, Tanqueray No. Ten and grapefruit bitters.

The House Martini, meanwhile, gets its herbal profile from the house-made vermouth. A well-made martini and a dozen fresh oysters is an ideal pairing and Oyster House is the right place to be for them. 1516 Sansom St., 215.567.7683

Beet the Heat at Barclay Prime

BARCLAY PRIME It’s non-negotiable: You go to Barlcay Prime for meat.

Sure, you could balance your 28-day-dry-aged rib eye with jumbo asparagus or creamed spinach, or you could opt for bartender Bob Casey’s preferred method for consuming vegetables at this swank spot: drink them. A signature drink, Beet the Heat, “is a playful demonstration on how to use vegetables in a variation of a classic margarita,” says Casey, who introduces Don Julio tequila to fresh beet juice, fresh lime juice and agave nectar infused with habanero pepper.

“Using vegetables in cocktails is a fun way for the restaurant to add complexity and lengthen cocktails for guests to enjoy.” Compared to a hulk-

ing steak, you could almost consider it a detox. 237 S. 18th St., 215.732.7560 BAR BOMBÓN Bar Bombón digs deep into the dirt and pulls up beets for its cocktail program. Instead of tequila, bartender Jackie O’Hare blends magenta beet juice with mezcal, tequila’s Oaxacan cousin. “The unique earthy taste of beets complements the smoky flavor of the mezcal,” says O’Hare, who originally created the Beeting Heart for Valentine’s Day. She prefers the premium organic Vida del Maguey brand, which gets shaken with beet juice, Berentzen apple liqueur and lemon juice, strained into a coupe glass and garnished with a lemon twist. “The flavors work in harmony, and the plant-based ingredients help complement the bold, zesty flavors on the Bar Bombón menu.” 133 S. 18th St., 267.606.6612

Beeting Heart at Bar BomBón

ZAHAV In Michael Solomonov’s native Israel, pitchers of lip-smacking Lemonana are as common on the tables at the seaside Tel Aviv restaurants as water. So when he and partner Steve Cook opened Zahav, there was no question the mint-andverbena-infused lemonade would be part of the cocktail program. “We use a ton of fresh herbs in our cooking; the cocktails should serve as a complement to those bold flavors. And because of that our cocktails tend to be herbaceous and fit for easy drinking,” says beverage manager Jeff Bartash. 237 St. James Pl., 215.625.8800 TWISTED TAIL “Herbs create an extra and interesting dynamic to drinks,” says George Reilly, owner and cocktail creator-in-chief at The Twisted Tail. “It is the same philosophy as adding them to food; you need something to bring out the best flavors in the dish.” In his Thyme After Thyme, the titular ingredient lends a woodsy, herbal scent to gin, ginger puree and lemon juice. Shaken and served up, it’s “a simple but effective cocktail.” The thyme ties it all together “lending a great aroma [that adds] freshness to the drink before it reaches your lips.” 509 S. 2nd St., 215.558-2471

Talula’s Garden Sip the day away surrounded by an urban garden. Talula’s Garden has cocktails that suit every personality, with names like The Artist, The Writer, The Beekeeper and The Treehugger, each with their own distinct flair. 210 W. Washington Square, 215.592.7787

Sweat in Style Whether you prefer fitness classes, hikes or a good old-fashioned run, Philly is full of stores that carry clothing for any activity. BY DOREEN CREEDE

Lapstone & Hammer STYLE WATCH

Sneaker City Do your feet a favor this summer and trade out your stilettos for a pair of sneakers. With the merging of streetwear and high fashion, sneakers are now comfortable enough to traverse the city yet chic enough to wear anywhere without comprimising on style. At independent boutique Lapstone & Hammer the focus is on quality, craftsmanship and artisan offerings. Focusing on the global trend of sneakers mixing with couture is the Filling Pieces line, designed by a Dutch architect and handmade in Portugal with Italian leather. Each piece in the line blends athletic and fashion elements in striking ways, such as a salmon scale woven leather topping a Margom vulcanized rubber Kobe ripple sole. Lapstone & Hammer is also known for reissues of retro styles in new colorways; locals camp out for weekly drops of Jordans or Nikes that sell out instantly. D. C .

1106 Chestnut St., 215.592.9166; www.lapstoneandhammer.com

FOR RUNNERS AND WALKERS Philadelphia Runner specializes in outfitting any level of runner, and the four locations offer friendly and expert fittings for everything from sneakers to sports bras. You can also find collections from big brands like Nike’s Epic and The North Face’s Better Than Naked™, and specialty items like Feetures no-blister socks. The mini-chain is equally welcoming to the walking crowd and carries a selection of looser fitting tops and longer shorts appropriate for brisk walks around town. multiple locations.

FOR FAMILY EXERCISE I. Goldberg Army & Navy may not

have fancy décor like their Center City counterparts, but they do have three important things everyone looks for: quality, service and great prices. “From nose to toes,” I. Goldberg can outfit the whole family for active pursuits, whether you are heading to the gym, camping or hiking without breaking the budget. 1300 Chestnut St. FOR THE CYCLER Specializing in bikes from the 1970s through 1990s, VIA Bicycle offers vintage bikes, biking gear, racing team jerseys and cycling caps from past eras. These rare, high quality pieces (the jerseys are often knit in merino wool) fly out of the store with collectors who seek out companion clothing for their retro rides.

609 S. 9th St. FOR THE FASHION-FOCUSED For high style workout wear without the high price, head to Century 21 Department Store. In addition to a large assortment of men and women’s name brands at up to 75 percent off retail, C21 also carries highly sought after, but hard to find, boutique brands. Scour the racks for fashion-forward lines like Koral, Marc New York Performance and Nanette Lepore. 821 Market St.

FOR STUDIO CLASSES Start your search for workout gear on Walnut Street, where Athleta (1722 Walnut) Lululemon Athletica (1720 Walnut) and Cameo Waterworks (1420 Walnut) offer options for everything from a barre class to water aerobics. A few blocks southeast, (267 S. 12th St.) Shanti Yoga Shala’s studio boutique offers the “train to sustain” Satva line that’s flattering, eco-friendly and socially responsible (a portion of proceeds go towards the farmers in India who cultivate the cotton).

Get outdoors this summer and enjoy the many parks, trails and hiking paths in and around Philly.

With unique landscapes and historic features, it’s easy to get active and learn a thing or two about the city. Plus, with waterfalls, views of the skyline and endless greenery, you won’t even realize what a great workout you’re getting. BY AMY GORDON WISSAHICKON VALLEY PARK It’s only about ten miles from Center City, but Wissahickon Valley Park feels like a world away from the frenzy of urban life with more than fifty miles of marked trails.

Experienced hikers who seek challenging terrain and steep inclines opt for the White, Orange, and Yellow trails, which run 4.4, 5.6 and 7.9 miles, respectively. Explorers with less experience can set out on Forbidden Drive, which despite its imposing name, is appropriate for all skill levels. Valley Green Road, 215.247.0417.

Valley Forge National Historical Park

P

hiladelphia is well known for its skyscrapers, sports fans and cheesesteaks, but the city and surrounding countryside are just as celebrated for attractive scenery and greenery. Parks, forests, gardens and trails draw droves of residents and visitors who want to get out and explore the local terrain, which includes options for routes with everything from sonic rocks to sacred ground, and steep climbs to casual strolls.

No matter which path you choose, be sure you’re prepared with weather-appropriate clothing, sturdy shoes, sunscreen, a compass and plenty of water. Respect the natural flora and fauna, stay on marked trails, and don’t forget a camera – you’re guaranteed to come across sights you’ll want to share now and revisit later.

SCHUYLKILL RIVER TRAIL The Schuylkill (pronounced skoolkil) River bisects Philadelphia, but this mighty body of water extends way past the city limits.

In total, the Schuylkill spans more than 130 miles, and currently, 60 miles of mixed-use trails are open for hikers and cyclists. The route leads through a wide variety of settings, including parks, gardens, river views and rural and residential areas. 1 Boathouse Row, 215.222.6030.

VALLEY FORGE NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE The world-renowned site draws visitors seeking the place that served as George Washington’s winter encampment in 1777-1778.

Today, this iconic spot is home to nearly twenty miles of marked hiking trails. The most scenic paths ascend Mount Misery and Mount Joy, but the Joseph Plumb Martin Trail and the Horseshoe Trail wind through landmark sites like the National Memorial Arch and the Patriots of African Descent Monument.1400 North Outer Line Dr., King of Prussia, PA, 610.783.1099.

FAIRMOUNT PARK For an easily accessible hike, look no further than Fairmount Park.

This 9,000-acre oasis is one of the largest green urban spaces in the country. From on-foot journeys that lead deep into the woods to paths that loop around historical landmarks, more than 215 miles of winding trails appeal to hikers of all interests and skill levels.

Philadelphia Your Way

BudgetWise

Family

Zen Seekers

The best things in life are priceless, and so is being a savvy traveler. In Philly, it’s easy to enjoy the city without hurting your wallet. Live out your favorite movie scene by running up the (1) Rocky Steps. Even if you don’t run the whole way (many people walk up slowly), the view at the top makes everyone feel like a champion. Discover what they didn’t teach you in chemistry class at the (2) Chemical Heritage Foundation. With free admission, you are welcome to explore and have some fun with exhibits that combine science and the world around us. And just because you’re watching your own money, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it. Visit the (3) U.S. Mint on a self guided tour to investigate where our nation’s coins come from. Lucky for us, the tour doesn’t cost a dime.

Yes, you and your kids have probably been to a zoo before. But what’s unique about (1) the Philadelphia Zoo—besides it being America’s first—is the attraction Zoo360, which features above-ground mesh nets where tigers, orangutans and other animals roam freely. But, if you are only able to pick one attraction to take your family to, it should be (2) The Please Touch Museum.

The museum encourages kids to do everything from race a sailboat to jump down a rabbit hole into Wonderland. And true to its name, everything in the museum is meant to be touched. Interaction is key at (3) The Franklin Institute and we promise your kids will barely realize they're learning as they explore a giant heart, outer space and a train factory all under one roof.

Founded in 1814 to collect common materials, (1) The Athenaeum of Philadelphia now has collections of books, architectural drawings, photographs and historic objects that attract architects, interior designers and museum curators. Let your inner book-worm out and find some peace in a piece of history.

Feel more relaxed outdoors? (2) Bartram’s Garden is a 45-acre National Historic Landmark that is ideal for soaking in the seasons.

Stroll around the gardens, take a kayak along the river or discover the surrounding historic buildings. Plus, the gardens feature a great view of the skyline. Or relax the old fashioned way—at a spa. (3) Rescue Rittenhouse Spa has a wide range of treatments available that all leave you feeling renewed and ready to take on your day.
