South Street!!!!

philly zoom,museum,Liberty bells, independence hall, geno's cheesesteaks, and pat's cheesesteaks.

Only go to south street if you like seeing half bombed out looking shops mixed with fake punk kids and cookie cutter big name retail like the gap. South street was cool 10 years ago, but has since played out. I recommend checking out Northern Liberties instead if you are looking for neat little shops and restaurants. The area is starting to come along really nicely. 4-5 hours though? Hmmm... tough call- You may just want to stick to CC and rittenouse area. That's not a ton of time for Museums, site seeing and all the cool building tours. It takes me that long to go to just the Art Museum and really feel like I got to experience it.
