123 Days To Go!

For our guests coming in from out of town, please see our ideas for activities all within an hour's drive!

The Jersey Shore

Approx. 30 minutes from Egg Harbor City

Ocean City is Julia's childhood beach shore destination, and has provided many wonderful memories over the years. Below are some things to check out:


The Boardwalk: Spanning 2.5 miles, it’s packed with shops, mini golf, and great food spots. Some of our favorites on the boardwalk include Kohr Brother's, Johnson's Popcorn, and Goofy Golf.


Must-Eats: We love the pizza from Manco & Manco Pizza. For a sweet treat, grab some ice cream at Aunt Betty's. Or take a short trip over the bridge to Strathmere and dine at the legendary Deauville Inn. You can also stroll the shops on Asbury Ave and grab some amazing coffee from Ocean City Coffee Company.


The Beach: Catch some sun on the beautiful beaches, 24th Street Beach is where we spend our time when in town during the summer.

Philadelphia

Approx. 50–60 minutes from Egg Harbor City

Since we call Philly home, we had to include our favorite spots in the city!


Reading Terminal Market: There are endless food options here and we particularly love to grab some doughnuts from Beiler's Doughnuts.


The Art Museum Steps: Take a stroll down Ben Franklin Parkway to the Art Museum steps for a great view of the city and run the famous Rocky Steps.


The Schuylkill River Trail: This is our favorite way to see the city. You can walk or bike the Schuylkill Banks Boardwalk, which extends out over the water for incredible skyline views.


Boathouse Row & The Water Works: Follow the river trail north from the boardwalk or walk down the hill from the Art Museum to see the iconic 19th-century boathouses. Right next door is the Fairmount Water Works, a beautiful historic landmark with some of the best photography spots in the city (and also happens to be where Dan proposed to Julia).
