One of the few diagonal streets cutting through Philadelphia’s grid design, Passyunk Avenue — and the surrounding neighborhood — has always stood out from the crowd.
The highly walkable thoroughfare that gives East Passyunk (pronounced “Pashyunk” by locals) its name is lined with indie boutiques, bars and cafes. It’s home to traditional red gravy Italian restaurants, world-famous cheesesteak spots and highly acclaimed eateries that have earned it a spot on Food and Wine’s list of 10 Best Foodie Streets in America.
Straying just off Passyunk Avenue reveals even more exciting finds that highlight the neighborhood’s blend of old-school charm and influx of dynamic new energy.

Food scene
Think Outside The Hoagie Roll For Great Eats In Philadelphia
The food scene in Philadelphia goes well beyond the cheesesteak and soft pretzel. It’s also amazing vegan fare, BYOB (bring-your-own-bottle) restaurants, world-class craft local beer, a flourishing distillery culture, and chef-driven concepts and passion projects. Philly’s food scene is about neighborhoods that grow with their restaurants—and competing chefs who work together. It’s about sourcing ingredients from the region’s rich farmland and giving casual dining its due. It’s about embracing delicious diversity.
