The Omni or Sheraton Rittenhouse are best locations. Are you planning on going out after concert?

These are all in good neighborhoods, however the Omni would be the most convenient since it's the closest to the Tweeter Center. The part it's in is called Old City, and there are plenty of clubs, bars and restaurants in that area as well.

do you have a suggestion for after the concert? also if i stay at the omni, would i just go over the benjamin franklin bridge and down rt 30? thats what it looks like on the map...

Joanna,

The following links give you information for both driving and taking the PATCO train to the Tweeter Center from the Omni Hotel in Philadelphia. You can catch the PATCO train at 8th and Market in Philadelphia and get off at the Broadway station in Camden. It's about a 4 block walk to the Tweeter Center.

As a previous poster mentioned, there are lots of clubs and restaurants in Old City as well as Rittenhouse Square. If you like jazz, go to Zanzubar Blue at Broad and Walnut near Rittenhouse Square. http://www.zanzibarblue.com/

If you stay at Sheraton, you could go out to Rittenhouse Square bars afterwards: Bar Noir, Le Hexagone, Rouge

If you stay at Omni, you are right in Olde City and can enjoy 32, Continental, Envy, Lucy's, and a ton more bars all over the area.

Who are you seeing there? David Gray or Coldplay? Do you have good seats? Just curious, as I work there on occasion.

we are going to see coldplay and we have pretty good seats :0)
if i take the PATCO to the tweeter center, does it run late a night around 11 or so? and is the walk back to the camden station after the concert a safe one? thanks for all your help and suggestions.

David

According to the PATCO website, trains run about every 40 minutes from 11PM to 4AM. The link to the timetables however, lists the last train leaving the Broadway Station in Camdem at around 11:40 PM. I would call PATCO to make sure the train run past midnight.

As long as you use common sense, I do not think it should be too much of a problem walking the 4 blocks or so to the station from the Tweeter Center.
