Default Best view of Philadelphia?

Sake of argument, which neighborhood would a shot have to be taken from to get the best view of Philly? Preferably the POV of one on a bench looking out over the whole city.

Apologies, not that familiar with Philadelphia yet but getting there. That'll do for now. Those are some phenomenal photographs. He must be a real piece of work.

Depending on what type of view you want, Belmont Plateau is nice, and I think there are picnic tables that you could have someone sitting on in that could include the skyline in the background.

Those are some great pictures on that guys site. Nice pic from Belmont Plateau also.

To answer the OP's question, personally my favorite view is looking out into the city from the top of the Art Museum steps.

If you just want "downtown" "tall buildings" kinda view, check this one out that I took last time I was on town:
