Franklin Square of Philadelphia
Franklin Square is a beautiful park, Philadelphia has really outdone themselves with this city treasure. It’s tucked behind the National Constitution Center. I’ve traveled to Philadelphia many times in the past years and I had no idea that this place even existed. I found out about it when a business client asked if we could conduct our meeting at a burger shack called ‘SquareBurger.’ Me, only wanting to please a client, agreed to meet him there.
My client, apparently, has a hankering for the burgers served at SquareBurger, which is located in Franklin Square and is a walk-up stall. My client could only rave on and on about how wonderful the burgers are here; he told me that once I bite into the burger, I’ll see what he’s raving about. I ordered the classic cheeseburger and fries, skipped the milkshake. The SquareBurger is by Stephen Starr, who is the best know restaurant entrepreneur in Philadelphia. No matter what restaurant he’s created, there’s always a line to get inside. That fact still holds true for even this outside fare. There was a line about 25 people long when we arrived.
My business client was absolutely right, the Stephen Starr burger was what I always dreamed a cheeseburger to be! I know I’ll be having my own hankerings for this burger once I leave town. This was my first experience at Franklin Square, but as we walked around the square, I thought that this place is a spectacular summer park. There’s an 18-hole miniature golf course, the grounds are well maintained, there were giant Philly sand sculptures, a restored carousel, a gorgeous fountain, and a fantastic playground. What a great place to take my family.
After we conducted and concluded our business, I hung around for quiet awhile, I even got in a game of putt-putt golf. Next time I’m in Philadelphia, I’ll have to bring my family and stay at one of the luxury Philadelphia hotels that are close by Franklin Square.
