Northern Liberties

It's a Beautiful Day in YOUR Neighborhood //

Welcome to "In Your Neighborhood," a once-a-month feature on the INs and outs of a special part of town. Follow The Cast as we discover what that neighborhood has to offer from local businesses, and boutiques, to restaurants, and bars, to the people that make that neighborhood unique. Share our adventures and check out the informational tidbits, fun facts and reviews (as well as not so educational information, like where to find the hottest bus boy or the prettiest candy shop owner). Whether you're a tourist, from another part of the city, or even a resident of the neighborhood we visit, we want you to know what’s IN…“In Your Neighborhood”.

Northern Liberties may be the fastest evolving neighborhood in Philadelphia right now. So why not come here first? Up until recently this area was mostly vacant space, but now it’s growing into a unique and vibrant community. Northern Liberties, or “No Libs” for short, has a culture all its own. The lifestyle is focused on music, art, individuality, and the environment (…and bike riding, does that fall under environment?). There also happens to be a strong entrepreneurial community here.

The Piazza and Liberties Walk are the main attractions, but don’t be fooled, there’s more fun tucked away between Girard Ave. and Spring Garden St. We spent 2 days attempting to “live” the No Libs lifestyle, and we still couldn’t see everything. So much to do, so little time…but we hope you enjoy our snapshot of this creative community.
