I second Longwood gardens especially with the Christmas lights up. It’s a great was to spend a couple hours at night. Check out some cool spots in Philly for the day and drive to Longwood at night

Third Longwood gardens, but want to add that you may want to purchase tickets ahead of time!

It’s required to purchase ahead of time actually but the do sell out too so if this is what you do I would look to get tickets sooner rather than later

I'll add, Longwood Christmas has a whole different look at night than during the day. If you go and you love it, a second visit with the sun up or down could be in order.

Also, Reading Terminal Market is a great place to eat, and maybe buy some treats to bring home from friends or family. It's generally so busy nobody is going to notice you are alone. It's nice and warm in winter, and big enough to walk around for an hour or so.

If we're talking Christmas, go to the herrs factory to see the lights. I've gone almost every year for damn near my whole life, with the exception of a few times when I lived too far away.
