SHOPPING

Browse the many design and home decor stores, the accessories emporiums and the fashion boutiques -- offering styles from couture and designer to vintage and thrift -- here in Old City. We've been voted Philadelphia’s most stylish neighborhood.  Why get “malled,” when you can find great selection in an authentic neighborhood with knowledgeable shop owners who love to serve their customers?  After shopping, get coiffed at a top salon, pampered at a spa or indulge in a libation and a great meal at one of many friendly bistros.   

First Friday's:

On the first Friday of each month -- year-round -- Old City's galleries, studios, shops and restaurants open their doors for First Friday, in an epic exhibition of the neighborhood's vibrant arts scene.

Old City Arts Association launched First Friday in 1991 to introduce Philadelphia to the improving neighborhood and the artists and designers who were bringing it back to life.

Two decades later, Old City is a nationally recognized arts destination, named in 2013 as one of the country’s top ArtPlaces by the ArtPlace Foundation.
