Mural Arts offer a few tours - the love train is popular. The Barnes collection is fantastic.
Too many fantastic restaurant options to pick just a few. Lots of live music options at night
Philly will surprise you -so much more than history. DM me with any queries if you decide to visit
A different option -equidistant NYC and Philly I'd look at Inn at Woodloch - private, spa, activities but no nightlife
Inn at Woodloch is beautiful but as you mentioned, no nightlife. And to answer another post, by nightlife-I think we mean more so options to hear music and have drinks until at least 1 or 2am. Nothing too crazy but we don't want a place where everything shuts down at 11pm. Rooftop bar sounds wonderful.
Great options you all gave. We're going to make a decision tonight. What about Newport, RI?
