I'll be there next week for a few days for a job interview, most likely Wed-Fri. Anything I should definitely try to do when I'm there?
Oh, and I'm poor now too so free things are a bonus!

Philly is beat. Why don't you look for a job in NYC instead? There are shit load more jobs up here.

Because I got an interview in Philly and have family/friends there.
Fabric Workshop looks great! More like that please :)

well worth a look

Monks or Eulogy - just depends on what area of town you're in at the moment (Monks is Center City, Eulogy is Old City).
As far as the NYC/Philly thing... yeah, NYC has more, and gets more attention. Philly has some good shops, but they're smaller and harder to find.
Besides, it's not like it's hard to get from one to the other.

dont go to monks for a beer if you are broke cuz they'll charge you an arm and a leg..
i suggest mcglinchys, its cheap, divey and good juke box

I saw the Mütter Museum on TV a few months ago and thought it'd be great to visit. I forgot all about it until now, thanks!
I'll most likely be driving over on Tuesday and leaving Saturday., staying in Moorestown just south-east – got family and friends there.
Don't want to say where I'm interviewing just yet as I have a habit of jinxing these things. I'll just say they're north-west, just outside the city.
Thanks for the suggestions!
