Pennsylvania Travel Guide

There may be no better place to experience American history than Pennsylvania, where the First Continental Congress met to sign the Declaration of Independence; where battles were fought and lost and fought and won to carve out this crazy country of mutts that we call home; where the very first intercontinental highway literally set the wheels of progress in motion. The Keystone State, so named for its central location among the original 13 colonies, has quite a lot to offer visitors. Of course, save for the Steelers in Pittsburgh, it is most famous for the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia. And Philly is indeed a great town full of all the excitement, struggle, creativity, ambition, and history that exists in any good center of urban life. Within a small radius of a few blocks, you can see the Liberty Bell in all its cracked glory, traipse down the same cobblestone streets where Benny Franklin himself set his buckle-shoed feet, and then slide on over for just about the most anti-Colonial meal you could find at the massive, modern Buddakan restaurant, with its great golden Buddha and outrageous and much-lauded Asian fare.
