I agree with several posters.
If you want to go get drinks in a loungey atmosphere, hit Old City - mostly along 2nd Street south of Market Street. Also in Old City, Cuba Libre is a good place for mojitos and "tame" Cuban food.
South street is fun on a weekend afternoon. Get a frozen drink at Fat Tuesday and people watch from their balcony. Get a cheesesteak at Jim's (around 6th and South) or get some good bar food at John's where you can sit outside (3rd and South). Trivia about John's - Larry Fine of the 3 Stooges was born there.
For something a bit hokey but fun, take the Duck Boat tour.

Plenty. Philly is a great city, full of history, wonderful culture and top restaurants. Even if you are not a history buff, see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were signed. The Phila. Art Museum is one of the best in the world. You might be able to get tickets to the King Tut exhibit at the Franklin Institute, the only stop in the US. There are tons of great restaurants in Center City (downtown) of all varieties. Some of my favorites are Savalo (California Italian), Estia (Greek), Amada (Spanish tapas). There also are several world renown restaurants like Buddakan, Moritmoto (Iron Chef's restaurant), Susanna Foo (one of the world's leading chefs of French-Chinese cuisine), Stripped Bass, and Le Bec Fin.
Enjoy yourself!!

My best mate lives in Philly, and I've had extensive opportunity to explore and enjoy it. The eateries and bars on South Street are fantastic. Souvlaki's Greek restaurant may not be much to look at, but the food is excellent. The Five Spot is a great place for swing dancing. I was pregnant the last time I went and couldn't fully enjoy it, but it was still a blast watching other people all dressed up and swinging (they really get into it).
