Spring Garden street, near Old City is a great place for incredible food and clubs. Silk City is probably my favorite, both a diner and a nightclub, this place has the best DJ's (especially on Thursday night). The food is not your usual diner grub, its amazing! A short walk down Spring Garden and you come across Transit nightclub and Palmers, both are Philadelphia hot spots.

Passyunk is home to the famous Pats and Genos cheesteaks, but my favorite place to eat is located at 7th and Passyunk. The Royal Tavern is great for American favorites with a gourmet twist. Down a few doors is The Dive, a pretty well known bar in South Philly. This area is cheap to live but still very nice.

South Quince Street is by far my favorite street in Philadelphia. It’s a tiny street located between Locust and Pine and 10th and 11th. There’s no access for cars and the street is covered in cobblestone (which is rare in this area). The residents are always outside gardening or chatting and the neighborhood kids seem to have a blast. If I could pick one place to live it would definitely be here!

Waverly Street is one of the most secluded streets in Philadelphia. Most of the homes are trinities with roof decks and amazing architecture. One aspect I really like about this street is the fact that in some areas it is a standalone block with dead ends at either side. Talk about privacy!

My boss lives on Addison Street and it is a dream! Its a quiet little street between Pine and Lombard and is home to some of the cutest homes I've ever seen! The area is strictly residential but close to shops and restaurants. People in the area also seem very friendly.

One of my favorite places to visit in Philadelphia is the Fabric Workshop Museum located on 12th and Arch. The area is a little crazy now with tons of construction but worth the look inside. Arch is also home to the Convention Center where you can check out the Flower Show, which is pretty famous. During different conventions the area is heavily populated so beware of that.

I previously lived on Summer Street, a small street located south of Vine between 12th and 13th. I loved my place because it was an old trinity with a great urban garden. My neighbors were great and the area was quiet most of the time. The only downside was the few encounters with people waiting for the shelter to open nearby.

Located on Locust Street and 8th streets you'll find one of the most beautiful parks in Philadelphia. Washington Square park is a less populated, cleaner park with tons of restaurants to grab a bite to eat. This is also a great area for dog walking. Kids seem to love the fountain situated in the middle of the park.

I have lived on Pine Street for two years now and I am very happy here. My place is located on 9th and it is a quiet area with lots of stuff to do. My favorite restaurant is Mixto and the area is great for antique shopping (Antiques Row). For a wide selection of beers visit the Foodery at the corner of 10th and Pine.

Walnut Street is a great place for those who love to shop! Located between Broad and 20th, there are tons of stores and boutiques. However, my favorite area on Walnut would have to be on 7th street where El Fuego is located. It’s a burrito joint that, in my opinion, is the BEST in the city!
