Art & Culture

\n

You don’t need to visit a museum to take in art and culture in Philadelphia. Several outdoor sculptures in Rittenhouse Square are some of the cities best-loved works of public art. One of the most famous sculptures, dating back to 1832, was created by Antoine-Louis Barye. The dramatic “Lion Crushing a Serpent” is located in the center of the square. In the reflecting pool since 1911, Paul Manship’s “Duck Girl” should also not be missed. For a peek inside one of the neighborhood’s charming 19th-century townhomes, visit The Rosenbach (2008 Delancey Pl.) to see a collection of more than 30,000 rare books.

\n

Dining & Drinking

\n

Chef Stephen Starr’s star power shines at Barclay Prime (237 S 18 St.), a high-end steakhouse on the eastern side of Rittenhouse Square. Experience Belle Epoque Paris at Parc (227 S 18 St.), an elegant French bistro. At The Rittenhouse (210 W Rittenhouse Square), dining options abound. Enjoy fine dining at the AAA Four-Diamond Lacroix, casually elegant Italian fare at Scarpetta, and the afternoon tea at the Mary Cassatt Room. Don’t miss speciality cocktails and vintage wines at Bar 210, Lacroix, or in the Library Bar. Also, stay tuned for food and drink specials at these locations during The Rittenhouse 30th Anniversary, kicking off in June.

\n
