A few years back, Tripadvisor deemed Fishtown in North Philadelphia “one of the 14 coolest hipster neighborhoods in the country.” It’s true Fishtown has been on the comeup for a while. Rents are getting more expensive, and fixed gear bikes line the streets. Young, woke families suddenly consider this Philadelphia neighborhood safe enough to raise babies.
Some people may roll their eyes at the fancy labels given to the area, but relax – it’s still Philly, we’re always gonna be a ‘lil rough around the edges. And Fishtown manages to find the perfect blend between old school hoagie spots & dive bars, with newly renovated industrial spaces turned craft beer meccas.
Taste dishes from a mix of cultures, see a punk show, be dazzled by a decadent cabaret, or just grab a slice to go and brown paper bag it along the river.
