I know I can't make reservations for months, but has any word of what hotel is hosting the 2013 NHC leaked yet? I'm dying to scout out the area.

I've heard talk of Center City, where ever the hell that is ( don't know Philadelphia ). I heard from a AHA GC member (not Justin) that the details are still being worked out so no announcement on the hotel yet.

I don't know Philly either, but I have a good idea where it's at.

I know Center City. Good spot. Easy public transportation to most of the great beer bars.
My wife is from there, so she is making me go this year.

I assume we're talking the Broad Street area, approximately? Definitely need public transportation.

Wife says Market st. East of City Hall (with statue of Franklin.) I don't know for certain the boundaries. I do know that some of the best beer bars (Devil's Den, Memphis Taproom, Brigids) are a long walk from there and no metro stops nearby. I never did bother to figure out the bus schedules. However, Monks is in that area and should be on everyone's list to visit.

Monks is a definite. It's such a small place; it'll be packed to the rafters.

Guido, How familiar are you with the beer scene there? I've just sort of stumbled upon things in Philly. All the beer menu websites seem to be months out of date, so I can't count on that info. Last visit was in March and we literally tripped over the entrance to Devil's Den while looking for something else. It turned out to be one of my favorite bars in the Philladelphia!
