Philly Gayborhood Cheap Eats

Recommended Posts

Anything from South Street (and even a few blocks beyond) north to Race Street (Chinatown) and from the east (Old City, Front Street) west to Rittenhouse Square area) is walk able from the Gayborhood. Scores of cheap eats, maybe a hundred. Reading Terminal Market for breakfast and lunch, Chinatown, plenty of pizza joints, street vendors, sandwich shops. also lots a great choices for modest splurges including Jones, Caribou Cafe, Sampan, Tria Cafe...the list goes on.

Plus, although good local public transit will enable them to reach just about anyplace, 3 or 4 sharing a cab would be almost as economical and more convenient when someplace is beyond walking distance. They're easily hailable anywhere in Center City.

You can walk anywhere in center city to South St ...to university city...and all the way south on Broad St. But I wouldn't walk very far north of about Callowhill St without some protection esp at night and esp if the kids don't have "city reflexes"
