Survey: Philadelphia Named One of Three Pennsylvania City Hotspots for Business Executives
A recent survey conducted by MarketBeat.com has ranked Philadelphia as the 23rd most preferred city for corporate business trips.
MarketBeat’s analysis shows that Philly’s thriving bar scene and one-of-a-kind restaurants appeal the most to corporate executives visiting the City of Brotherly Love on business.
“As a hub for finance, health care, and law, Philadelphia’s Rittenhouse Square is a go-to for business travelers. Executives enjoy craft cocktails at The Library Bar, network at The Ranstead Room, a chic speakeasy, and seal deals over a steak dinner at Barclay Prime, one of the city’s most exclusive dining spots,” according to MarketBeat.
Philadelphia wasn’t the only city in the Keystone State that made its way into MarketBeat’s rankings. Pittsburgh was ranked at No. 41, and Lancaster was voted No. 90 out of 145 cities on the list. Atlantic City, New Jersey, commanded the No. 13 spot among the survey’s top 25 destinations.
According to MarketBeat’s website, the online panel survey comprised 3,102 executives based on age, gender, and geography. The MarketBeat team used a two-step process to ensure “representativeness through stratified sampling and post-stratification weighting.”
Ranking All 14 Eagles Head Coaches In Super Bowl Era
8- Rick Kotite- 1991-1994 (36-28)
Kotite is literally the standard for bad coaching in both Philly and New York. When it started to fall apart for Doug Pederson, and later when Sirianni had his down year, Kotite is who people compared them to.
Yes he won a playoff game. But after that, it was a disaster. He started out 1994 7-2, and the future seemed bright. Then he imploded, lost the last 7 games of the season, and finished last in the NFC East. New owner Jeffrey Lurie fired him, and that was it for Kotite in Philly. It got no better for him in his next job with the Jets.

No head coach had a better start to their career than Chip Kelly. His first season had Eagles fans worshipping him. We convinced ourselves he was a genius who was going to change the game. Then the league adjusted to his scheme, and he had no answers. After getting them to the playoffs in year 1, he never got back and got fired before the end of year 3.
What makes him more hated, is how he pushed out talented players. They bled talent all 3 seasons he was there. Desean Jackson has a career year, he gets cut for nothing. LeSean McCoy gets traded a year later. His style and attitude wore people out fast. He got one more job with the 49ers after the Eagles fired him. They fired him after a single season. He is just lucky Rich Kotite exists or he would be lower on this list.
