A Fantastic trip to Philadelphia

​A couple of weeks back I enjoyed a few days away from kiddos for my husband holiday party.   We stayed at the beautiful and well located Hyatt at the Belleveu in downtown Philly.  I am amazed by how much this city has to offer, lovely restaurants, by the way, my favorite is Osteria and nice and cozy Italian place with great pasta and one of the best pizzas.   We also enjoyed the bar at the XIX (nineteen) on the top floor of the hotel where you can have amazing city views.   The beautiful Christmas Village is a must which brings you the magic of an authentic German Market in the city.    The Philadelphia  Art Museum is an authentic gem, the building itself is a beauty and the collection includes work by Cezanne, Rodin and Vicent Van Gogh's Sunflower among many other famous world pieces.   Last but not least you can also take a picture with the famous Rocky statue located very close to the Museum.  My husband and I really enjoyed the city which is only 2 hours from NY so you can easily combine both trips.
