Halloween at Eastern State Penitentiary

Every Halloween I get to go to a great party that is hosted at the Eastern State Penitentiary. October 30, 2010 was no exception. Prior to the party we did the haunted house tour. The whole show is great. There is such an eery feeling as you walk through and look at all the old cells, infirmary rooms, showers, etc.

After spending the night in Philadelphia, we decided to walk around and the city. At the end of our day we needed some cocktails and found this great bar in a new hotel the called the La Meridien. The building was repurposed since it was formally a YMCA and part of the DA's office, the hotel just opened this past May and blends historic architecture and sleek sophistication.
