Great Escape: Philly's Flowers, Food and Art

Your teens are holding a car wash at the high school Saturday. The grandparents volunteered to take the younger children to a movie Sunday afternoon. Your tweens take tap on Wednesday evening. It’s your time. Take it.

Each week, we’ll tell you about one great idea to give you a much deserved break, and make your life a little easier, maybe a whole lot easier.

The annual is wrapping up this weekend, while the Philadelphia Museum of Art's exhibition of the works of Marc Chagall and his Parisian contemporaries–either way, they're unique cultural experiences that can keep you busy for an afternoon in Philly.

And since you'll be over the bridge, it's hard to pass up the opportunity to hit up one of the city's many restaurants. While traditionalists might go for one of Old City's long-established places (think City Tavern) or an evening on Rittenhouse Square, you might also want to check out one of the newer restaurants.

If you're feeling adventurous, try something like The Farm and Fisherman, a cozy BYOB that's just a short walk south from the Convention Center.
