Philadelphia is the largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the fifth-most populous in the United States, with an estimated population in 2014 of 1,560,290. In the Northeastern United States, at the confluence of the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers, Philadelphia is the economic and cultural anchor of the Delaware Valley, a metropolitan area home to 7.2 million people and the eighth-largest combined statistical area in the United States.
In 1682, William Penn founded the city to serve as capital of the Pennsylvania Colony. Philadelphia played an instrumental role in the American Revolution as a meeting place for the Founding Fathers of the United States, who signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the Constitution in 1787. Philadelphia was one of the nation's capitals in the Revolutionary War, and served as temporary U.S. capital while Washington, D.C., was under construction. In the 19th century, Philadelphia became a major industrial center and railroad hub that grew from an influx of European immigrants. It became a prime destination for African-Americans in the Great Migration and surpassed two million occupants by 1950.

Kababayan Fil-Am Grocery Store Tour - Folsom, PA (Best Filipino Market Metro Philadelphia)
I was willing to go to the ends of the Earth to find Fita crackers, but luckily they were in stock at the Kababayan Fil-Am Grocery Store in Folsom, PA. I was visiting friends in Folsom, and had no idea a Filipino market would be located just 10 minutes outside Philadelphia. Besides the Fita crackers, I picked up La Pacita Graham Crackers, Sunsilk Shampoo, and a Pepsi. Kababayan Fil-Am Grocery Store is a great place and I'm so happy to have found it!

How to Visit Philadelphia with an RV: Liberty, Cheesesteaks, and Rocky - Traveling Robert
We find an unusual RV Park in the middle of Philadelphia. We see many of the obligatory historic sites including a bucket list visit to the Independence Hall. We join long time viewer Rob, from South Philly, and he shows us his home town from his own perspective, including eating some authentic Philly cheesesteak. We also follow in Rocky Balboa's footsteps, literally and climb the steps of the Art Museum. We finally get a panoramic view of the city from the Liberty One Observation Deck.

Inside Independence Hall(Pennsylvania State House): The Assembly Room & Rising Sun Chair
In this clip, you will see The Assembly Room(first congress in the US) where the Declaration Of Independence took place.
It was in this room that the United States Constitution was signed. The guide pointed that the constitution was not perfect but it had the mechanism to evolve
and adapt to social changes. It has become an example for other nations to follow. Benjamin Franklin made his famous remark on the chair of George Washington:
I have often looked at that picture behind the president without being able to tell if it was a rising or setting sun.
Now at length I have the happiness to know that it is indeed a rising, not a setting sun.
Towards the end of the clip, you will the passage that Benjamin Franklin used to go from his house to government buildings.

The Bourse Food Hall - Philadelphia
Want to try some of the best food in Philadelphia? Look no further! The Bourse Food Hall is the newest food hall in Philadelphia and it is home to international food stands, Philadelphia food classics, and a local bar. We loved this place!
The Bourse Food Hall is new this year and was built in a historic building dating back to 1891. The Bourse is located in Old City, Philadelphia on Independence Mall, which is the most historic block in the entire United States of America.
When we got to the food hall we were overwhelmed with choices, but Ryan quickly found tacos and ate three off camera before we even looked at the other options. haha. You guys know I am the more adventurous eater, so I found a local filipino food stand and tried their version of Lechon! It honestly tasted amazing, but the meat was mostly all fat instead of pork. The owner did say it was pork belly so that is to be expected! Either way, I was impressed to find good Filipino food in Philly.
If you are visiting the city and wondering what to do in Philadelphia, definitely add The Bourse to your list! It's conveniently located next to all of the tourist sites in the city, so after you see the Liberty Bell head across the street and fill your belly.
We hope you guys liked this Philadelphia food tour and we will be sure to take you to another amazing food hall, the Reading Terminal Market, coming up in the next few videos. Until then, we'll see you guys in the next video. Seeya!

Our visit to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Philly The city of brotherly love!
Philadelphia, which is Greek for brotherly love (from Philos, love or friendship, and Delphos, brother) Founded by William Penn, Penn As a Quaker, Penn had experienced religious persecution and wanted his colony to be a place where anyone could worship freely.
With centuries of culture and personality built up, the breathing city of Philadelphia exemplifies “brotherly or sisterly love” in its own fashion. Its sports fans are known to be the most loyal and passionate in the business, while it’s often a tough love, it’s a love for sure. The music in Philadelphia is one of a kind, and it’s developed historically standout sounds in the hip-hop and indie rock spaces. On top of it all, Philly is a city that shares its cheesesteaks, art museums, festivals, and personalities with all of its visitors, just like a sibling you grew up alongside.
Philadelphia is the largest city in Pennsylvania and, at the time of the American Revolution, was the largest and most important city in America. Founded by William Penn as a place of religious tolerance, its spirit infused the early steps towards independence.
The first European settlers on the site were Swedes, who established a community at the mouth of the Schuykill not later than 1643. England, however, established its control over the entire region, and in 1681, King Charles II made William Penn a grant of land that became Pennsylvania.
An advance group was sent that year, and Penn followed in 1682. They established Philadelphia in the southeast corner of the colony, following a plan for the town's development. Philadephia's guiding principle was tolerance towards all faiths. Philadelphia attracted people from all over Europe, with such Quakers as Penn especially well represented. The city developed a thriving trade with the West Indies and soon became the largest and most important city in the colonies. It received its city charter in 1701.
Philadelphia's most famous citizen in the 18th century was Benjamin Franklin, widely considered to be one of that century's foremost scientists, in addition to one of the guiding lights of the Revolution. The First and Second Continental congresses were held in Philadelphia, and the city served as the nation's unofficial capital throughout the War of Independence, except for the period between September 26, 1777, and June 18, 1778, when it was held by the British. Following the war, the convention that produced the Constitution (text) was held in Philadelphia.
By the time of the first census in 1790, New York had passed Philadelphia in size. During the first half of the 19th century, important suburbs grew up around Philadelphia, including Kensington, Moyamensing, Northern Liberties, Southwark, and Spring Garden, which ranked among the country's top 100 places in the national census.
By mid-century, Philadelphia had dropped to fourth place in population. In 1854, the Pennsylvania legislature redrew the boundaries of Philadelphia to include the entire county, which boosted the city's population back to second. It held that position until overtaken by Chicago in the census of 1890.
In 1876, Philadelphia hosted one of the country's first international expositions, to commemorate the centennial of the Declaration of Independence. Held at Fairmont Park from May 10 to November 10, the exposition displayed industries from 50 countries.
Philadelphia, cradle of America's dream of freedom, is home to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution (narrative), great documents that cried out, “Let Freedom Ring, like the Liberty Bell. Amidst the ordinary citizens of Philadelphia, gathered in the humble Carpenter's Hall on Chestnut Street, the Colonial Fathers gave voice and life to those freedoms at the First Continental Congress.
Many historic sites in Philadelphia have been restored or rebuilt to help preserve the nation’s heritage as a free people. Providing fitting homage to these places, a place of hallowed ground was sanctified, the Independence National Historical Park. On these grounds is Independence Hall, where the Declaration and the Constitution reside. The home of Betsy Ross still stands on Arch Street.
Philadelphia also is one of America's leading cultural centers. The University of Philadelphia, established in 1740, occupies a 120-acre campus in West Philadelphia. The Academy of Natural Science, the oldest institution of its kind in America, was founded in 1805. The Philadelphia Zoo, the oldest zoological garden in the nation, houses 1,600 rare and exotic animals. The Philadelphia Museum of Art, founded in 1876, displays some of the world's finest Impressionist art. Philadelphia's own Washington Monument stands in front of the art museum as if to guard the collections within.
