Philadelphia -– Pennsylvania’s largest city and home of the liberty bell -– rings up revolutionary shopping opportunity, with the added bonus of no sales tax on clothing or shoes anywhere in the state.

Three blocks east of the Pennsylvania Convention Center, historic Brickston Market Place East houses shops and restaurants including Ross Dress for Less, Dress Barn, Dunkin Donuts, and China Pagoda. The Bellevue, on Broad Street with Park Hyatt at The Bellevue, showcases Tiffany & Co., Nicole Miller, Polo Ralph Lauren and the like.
