Need assistance - Philly trip

[Lee Laird]

Hello all-


Looking to see where I might see woodworking or buy vintage woodworking tools during the week in Philly while wife is in meetings. I'm going to be checking out the city and would appreciate any inside info as I've not ever been to Philly before.

Thanks in advance,

Lee

The Woodturning Center
Esherick Museum
George Nakashima compound (only open for visitors Saturday afternoons)

(The latter two require a car to get to)

There are a gazzillion museums in Philadelphia to visit as well as many, many historic sites. The eating is good, too... ;)

Lee,

I can't help with the woodworking stuff but you must get a cheesesteak from Geno's (http://www.genosteaks.com/home1.html). Pat's across the street also makes a mean cheesesteak but I though Geno's was a little better.

JMO,
Doug

Thanks guys. I know it was really short notice, since I fly out at 7:45a.

Best,

Lee
