Other West Philly ’hoods like Powelton Village and Spruce Hill are equally diverse and boast that distinctively bohemian flair. Though it’s easily reachable by public transit, this area is also one of the most cycle-centric in Philly, with spacious street lanes, lock-up racks, a soon-to-be citywide bike-share program, and rideup food trucks aplenty. Head back toward Center City and you’ll land in Fairmount, Philly’s cultural gateway right next to the museums on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. It’s home to art galleries, Victorian architecture, and even a hauntingly beautiful historic penitentiary you can tour (if you dare). Then cut northeast through Callowhill and Northern Liberties to take in a hip mix of edgy galleries, performance spaces, and venues. In these neighborhoods, heritage shares space with innovation. Artists, inspired by their surroundings, thrive, and in turn energize their communities. The city that’s loved by many and famous for plenty is ready to be known for so much more. Explore the artistic communities and galleries that add color to the streets. Wherever you find yourself in the city, take advantage of tax-free clothes shopping, BYOB restaurants (you “bring your own bottle” while the chef does the rest), and homages to American history. Or in one Philly expert’s simple words of advice: “Get to know the different personalities of each neighborhood,” Levitz says. There’s one aspect of the Philly neighborhood experience that’s so invaluable that it can’t rightly be quantified. We’re talking about the people, who are just as proud, outspoken, and colorful as the city they call home.
