America is full of choice when it comes to picking great cities to visit, but Pennsylvania has a new ace up its sleeve. Like many cities, Philadelphia is experiencing incredible urban redevelopment, with new hotels, bars, galleries and restaurants popping up all the time, bringing new opportunity for everything from cocktail dens to event spaces.

And when it comes to events, it’s not as if the city was at all starved for choice. Pro sports teams often frequent the Ritz Carlton, there’s the Rittenhouse, the Logan, and plenty of swoon worthy places to make an impression on any audience, or client.

It’s got the rugged, industrious feel many businesses are trying to stay in touch with. Businesses holding events in 2020 cool and edgy and Four Seasons Total Landscaping has it in droves.
