Other Travel Tips
At and around South Street
its called society hill
right near the water on Front street and start moving backwards. 3rd street (between market and chestnut) has some amazing restaurants and clubs.
If you work in Center City, than you know where Market Street is. If you were to follow Market Street East and head towards the Delaware River, you'd run into Old City around 5th Street or so. What I think of as Old City, like the heart of it is like 2-3rd and Market. It's mostly bars, clubs, lounges and restaraunts and can get pretty crowded with people on Friday an Saturday nights. It's near impossible to find a cab around there between 1 and 3am though as that's usually where the mass exodus to Geno's or Pat's begins.
if people/friends are tellin you they hang out there they probably go all the same places i do :)
