One of the only diagonal streets cutting through Philadelphia’s grid design, Passyunk Square (Ironic, isn't it?) has always stood out from the crowd. The neighborhood is a delightful blend of old-school traditional charm and influx of dynamic vibrant new energy.
The highly walkable and friendly neighborhood of East Passyunk is lined with indie boutiques, bars and cafes. It’s home to traditional Italian restaurants, world-famous cheesesteak (Pat's King of Steaks and Geno's Steak, both open 24/7) spots and highly acclaimed eateries that have earned it a spot on Food and Wine’s list of 10 Best Foodie Streets in America. Visitors can pick up one-of-a-kind gifts at cute boutiques and independently owned shops, sip coffee or tea at local cafes.
Neighborhood-favorite bars (P.O.P.E., Stogie Joe’s), cutting-edge restaurants (Fond, Stateside, Will) and indie boutiques (Metro Men’s Clothing) integrate with classic neighborhood food institutions, for an experience not easily replicated elsewhere in the city. Don’t miss the Singing Fountain, an only-in-Philly attraction right in the middle of the action. Weary walkers can sit a spell at the Singing Fountain, a park that plays hits of yesterday and today.
