About Philadelphia Neighborhoods

The Avenue of the Arts Encompassing North and South Broad Street, the Avenue of the Arts is one of the premier cultural destinations in the city and region and home to the Academy of Music, the Merriam Theater, Wilma Theater, Freedom Theatre and the dazzling Kimmel Performing Arts Center. http://www.avenueofthearts.org/index.htm

Chestnut Hill Dining and shopping along Germantown Avenue has become the thing to do in this charming neighborhood with the gentility of a bygone era. Northwest of the city but still within the city limits, Chestnut Hill began to flourish in earnest late in the 19th century, with the extension of the Pennsylvania Railroad line. The main thoroughfare, Germantown Avenue, is paved in hand-laid Belgian blocks and lined with restaurants, galleries, and boutiques. Beyond “the Avenue” visitors find fine examples of Colonial Revival and Queen Anne style homes. The Woodmere Art Museum, at 9201 Germantown Avenue is open to the public.

Chinatown in Philadelphia The Chinese Friendship Gate, straddling 10th Street just north of Arch Street, is 40-feet-tall and is the first authentic gate ever constructed by Chinese artisans outside of China. Building materials, including special ornamental tile, came all the way from Tianjin, China. Many of the artisans were from Beijing. Chinatown is centered at 10th and Race Streets, around the corner from the Pennsylvania Convention Center. The neighborhood is a residential and commercial hub for the local Asian community. More than 50 restaurants co-exist with grocery stores, bakeries, souvenir shops, martial arts studios, and a fortune cookie store.

Convention Center District Built in 1994, the state-of-the-art Pennsylvania Convention Center contains more than 4000,000 square feet of exhibit and meeting space and is one of the finest facilities in the country. The Center is connected to the historic Reading Terminal Market, an open-air smorgasbord of 80 eateries and merchants.

Fairmount/Art Museum

The Art Museum area is north of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, west of City Hall and east of Philadelphia Art Museum and Fairmount Park. As its name suggests, those living in the Art Museum area enjoy many cultural and recreational activities close to home.It is a quiet, residential neighborhood that offers the convenience of neighborhood restaurants. It's also close to Center City - on a nice day, you can walk to Rittenhouse Square

Fairmount Park Beginning at the Ben Franklin Parkway, Fairmount Park encompasses more than 8,900 acres of winding creeks, rustic trails, green meadows and 100 miles of recreational trails. The world’s largest landscaped urban park also contains early-American mansions, historic landmarks, and a variety of outdoor sculpture, playing fields, and 19th-century Victorian structures along Boathouse Row.

Historic and Waterfront District The city’s historic and waterfront park begins on 6th Street, just four blocks east of the Convention Center, and continues to Penn’s Landing http://www.pennslandingcorp.com on the banks of the Delaware River, The site of Philadelphia’s earliest settlements, the neighborhood is full of 18th Century influence including Colonial-era homes and cobblestone streets. In addition to the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, Independence National Historical Park- America’s most historic square mile-is home to numerous historical buildings and sites. http://www.ushistory.org/tour/ http://www.historicphiladelphia.org/ Manayunk What happens when people discover the charm of a canal-edged Main Street just minutes from Center City? You get Manayunk – over a half mile long, with over 65 shops and galleries and scores of restaurants. Shoppers and diners enjoy the wealth of possibilities, from Pacific rim relics to contemporary house wares and designer clothing. Visit it virtually at www.manayunk.com.

North Philadelphia Home to numerous educational, cultural and community organizations, North Philadelphia is perhaps best known as the location of Temple University and the Uptown Cultural District.

Northern Liberties It is a great neighborhood with a combination of old-timers, young professionals and, the greatest natural resource that Northern Liberties has, which is the artist community. Conveniently located just north of historic Old City, Northern Liberties is characterized by diverse architecture and affordable studio space. Over the past several years, many artists have renovated both residential and industrial spaces and have built a strong and rich community. Northern Liberties is seen as a vibrant, hip neighborhood, which is enjoying a cultural renaissance. http://www.northernliberties.org/

Old City Your exploration of America’s heritage continues north of Market Street in the city’s first commercial district. In addition to the Betsy Ross House and Elreth’s Alley-America’s oldest continuously residential street-Old City is known for the most exciting collection of art galleries on the East Coast.

Parkway/Museum District Stretching from City Hall to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Benjamin Franklin Parkway is flanked by some of the city’s most acclaimed institutions. The Parkway is also the location of numerous festivals and events throughout the year, including Fourth of July fireworks. Logan Circle, one of the public “squares” in the city’s original design, is home to the magnificent Swan Fountain. Visit it virtually at http://www.phila.gov/fairpark/squares/logan.html Rittenhouse Square This urban park illustrates the elegance, wealth, and culture of pre-skyscraper Philadelphia. From the Rittenhouse Hotel on a sunny day, walk through the square to Walnut Street, which can rival any district in Paris or London for charm and sophistication. Stretching from 18th Street beyond 19th along Walnut Street is one of the most lovely and peaceful spots in which to read or just sit on a park bench. The square’s entrances, plaza, and fountains were designed in 1913 by Paul Cret. The square was named for David Rittenhouse, president of the American Philosophical Society and professor at the University of Pennsylvania in the 18th Century. Visit it virtually at http://www.phila.gov/fairpark/squares/rittenhouse.html

Society Hill The charmingly restored 18th century neighborhood of Society Hill is perhaps the most visited residential section of Philadelphia. With its fine mixture of Colonial and Federal style brick row houses, intimate courtyards and gracious cobblestone streets, Society Hill draws people on foot and by carriage. The Society Hill boundaries are generally defined as being 2nd Street and Washington Square Park on 5th Street. Walnut Street marks the northern perimeter, and Lombard Street is the southernmost boundary. Buildings open to the public include the Powel House and the Hill-Physick-Keith House (commonly known as the Physick House). Built in 1765, the Powel House was owned by the last mayor of Philadelphia while it was still under the rule of the crown, and consequently, the first mayor after it became the new Republic. Dr. Philip Syng Physick, known as the Father of American Surgery, inhabited the Physick House from 1815 to 1837. The “society” in the name refers to the Free Society of Traders, a group of colonial businessmen to whom William Penn deeded land to encourage their economic leadership. Explore this area at your leisure, taking in the architecture and exploring the neighborhood's hidden alleys and winding walkways. If you're looking for historical facts about other buildings in Society Hill, just keep your eyes open for the navy blue signs giving the details of historic sites.

South Philadelphia This mix of long-established residential ethnic neighborhoods provides a tapestry of sights, sounds and tastes to explore. In addition to being home of the city’s expansive professional Sports Complex, South Philadelphia is probably best known for the open-air Italian Market, outstanding Italian restaurants, and the home of the cheese steak. It's Rocky Balboa and more.

South Street The "hippest street in Philadelphia," South Street is famous for its eclectic shops, diverse restaurants and dynamic nightlife. There's no better place to people-watch on a Friday or Saturday night. South Street is Philadelphia's hip strip and trendy melting pot. Here you'll find a many-splendored promenade alive with way-kewl boutiques, eccentric shops, singular restaurants, bars, night clubs and cafes -- and where the people-watching is as fun as the window-shopping. Aging hippies, the fashionably unfashionable, tongue-piercers, spike-haired skateboarders, and even nuclear families commingle comfortably on this eclectic and electric swath. If you feel a bit self-conscious because you're old enough to remember the above lyric from the 1963 hit rock-'n'-roll tune, just relax -- like the song says, "it's the hippest street in town." More serious restaurants and additional shops spill over onto the numbered streets flanking South. There are several venues for small theater and live music. The neighborhood has an appropriately retro website at www.south-street.com.

University City Located west of Center City across the Schuylkill River, university City is home to the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University and a proliferate community of educational, cultural, technological and entertainment organizations. Visit it virtually at http://www.ucityphila.org/home/index.cfm

Washington Square District Centered around one of the public squares planned by William Penn, this area of the city connects the historic and commercial districts. Walking through the quaint neighborhoods you will discover Jewelers Row and Antique Row, two of the city's specialty shopping areas, as well as the Walnut Street and Forrest theaters. http://www.phila.gov/fairpark/squares/washington.html
