There’s no use waxing on about the iconic cheesesteak, though most Philadelphians would be happy to tell you where to get the best (no really, the best) one. And no, we’re deﬁnitely not referring to anything even remotely Rocky-related, though we’d be happy to point your running shoes toward “the steps” (better known as the breathtaking Philadelphia Museum of Art). We’re going to put you at a Philadelphian’s-eye level to see the city as the locals do. “Philadelphia is a city of neighborhoods, and they all have their own history, draws, and characteristics,” says Meryl Levitz, president and CEO of the Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation, known as Visit Philly. “That’s why we devote an entire section of our website, visitphilly.com, to highlighting them.” Where to start? Bike, walk, or taxi just south of Center City, where a collection of tidy, friendly residential neighborhoods, including East Passyunk, Pennsport, and Queen Village, are all eager to share their best assets. A hoppy dream come true for craft beer fanatics, the area is home to a collection of bars and pubs rivaled only by its growing restaurant scene — mixing local institutions with bright upstarts. There’s plenty for shoppers, from spots on the buzzing South Street strip to the famed Italian Market in Bella Vista, a must-see for lovers of local food and culture. A ride westward puts you in University City, the heart of the city’s academic community. The humming, highly diverse hub has an instantly recognizable international feel — not http://www.visitphilly.com http://www.usairwaysmag.com
