How Your Parents Will Spend Graduation Weekend

Today, the NYTimes travel section takes us on a journey across land, sea and time to the mystical land of Philadelphia. Oooooh. Exotic.
But only for 36 hours—two of which you will spend in Rittenhouse Square because, duh, that's how long it'll take you to look at "bronze sculptures, like the 1832 allegory of the French Revolution, 'Lion Crushing a Serpent,' by Antoine-Louis Barye." Amirite?
Snark aside, the article does highlight a bunch of Philly notables including the Barnes, Federal Doughnuts, the up-and-coming Fishtown scene, and the city's weird fixation with the Prohibition era. (Maybe because like Philly's nightlife, it ended before it even started.)
