Hilton Penns Landing
201 S Christopher Columbus Blvd, Philadelphia, PA 19106
Stayed there a few years back. Has a parking garage, and walking distance of a lot in Old City.

Can't really give you any ideas for Pittsburgh. Only been there once and hotel was based around a work location.

This may be the best idea. Consider a hotel in the city with parking garage. Anywhere you are likely to go in center city, old city, or waterfront, will still be decent in the evening.

Once you get south of Philly it's not better. PHL airport and Essington hotels is not great because you'll get jet noise and hotel drama. South of that is wasteland

If you're taking the turnpike to get to Pgh, then stay in either Harmarville or Monroville.  Those are two exits off the turnpike and are the closest to Pgh.  I don't uber so I don't know if the cost of uber out ways the cost of driving to the science center

Perfect. Thank you


I'm not real concerned with Uber cost, is vacation, I try to relax and enjoy. I prefer staying in the burbs, then getting to sightsee on the commute when I'm not driving.

Thank you!

Penns View Hotel in Philly is pretty cool.  It's a 'smaller' boutique hotel but really neat and it's in old city close to the major landmarks.  I don't recall if they have a parking garage but I believe so. I've stayed there a few times even though I live just outside of town.

Pat's King of Steaks or Geno's steaks. They're right across the street from each other.

FYI concealed or open carry both require a carry permit in Philly (not that I'd recommend drawing the attention of Philly's Finest to yourself by OC'ing). Outside city limits, you only need a permit for CC. The rest of the state is OC-legal. I don't know the OH-PA reciprocity laws though.

I guess we will do one from each and have a taste test


Ohio resident permit is good in Pennsylvania.

Thank you


Any personal preference? Is it a Ford Chevy thing?
