Lot's of touristy things to do. Can be overcrowded but lots of girl watching, window shopping, interesting eateries.

South Street used to be a fun, funky place to hang out on a weekend and catch a show when independent artists were performing. Then eat a good meal (for a reasonable price) and do some shopping for things you would never see out in the suburbs. What happened, South Street? A few years went by and all of a... More

I love to shop here when I come to Philly. The store, City Blue...staff was AMAZING! Friendly and helpful in making sure my boyfriend walked out of there with exactly what he needed. Millennium Art Gallery has some great art work. Of course Jim's cheese steaks always complete our day.
