Rosenbach Museum - View this location on map However, even if you're not a literary scholar it proves to be a great way to spend a couple of hours. They have thousands of original drawings and manuscripts from Maurice Sendak - Where the Wild Things Are. They also have lots of things you might not have a chance to see anywhere else. Journals of poetry written by slaves, Nathaniel Hawthorne's personal copy of Moby Dick. All in a very gracious (and eclectic) townhouse filled with interesting antiques. See how the other half lived. OK, writing this, it doesn't really sound like the destination of choice for a young hipster. But, ponder this. It's Sunday morning in Philadelphia and you were out enjoying the nightlife until the wee hours. Clean yourself up (please) and wander a couple blocks from your hotel to this very conveniently located and manageable museum for a tour of the house. The museum docents are learned and funny and helpful. You can learn without even trying, you lucky dog. And emerge a little more erudite than you went in. All before you could probably decide on where to have brunch. You clever clogs. The museum is free on Tuesdays and $8USD for adults other days. Closed Mondays. 2008-2010 DeLancey Place, Philadelphia, PA Cultural, Historical, Landmark, Architectural
