ZORBA's has great Greek Food and so does another place right next to the penitentiary.... name of a famous 19th/20th century artist.... good eats.

The largest city park in the world (i think?); it traverses almost all of Philadelphia in a winding kind of way. Sometimes you feel like you are in the middle of Montana. A black bear was spotted near the Wissahikon area of Fairmont 5/16. beautiful! great hiking trails, quaint buildings and structures, meandering waterways. If you need a piece of nature, there it is.
