Neighborhoods and dinner
Old City and the Delaware waterfront belong on the same planning map, but a river-facing venue still needs an exact address.
Philadelphia pairs Penn's Landing traditions, historic districts, dining, and Center City parties.
The Pool is a ball pit, not a swimming pool. It sits within a dance bar that also has an Ice Room and lounge, reached through the back entrance at 1635 Market Street.

Old City's historic attractions can fill the earlier day; check December 31 opening and leave time for a warm meal.

Separate a historic-district stay from a riverside reservation when comparing walking routes; choose the route you are comfortable using after dinner.
