ENJOY PHILADELPHIA! Things to Do, Where to Live, How to Get Around WELCOME to PHILADELPHIA! There Is No Better Place to Study Law in the U.S ENJOY PHILADELPHIA! Things to Do, Where to Live, How to Get Around WELCOME TO PHILADELPHIA! There is no better place to study law in the U.S. than in Philadelphia, the United States’ first World Heritage City. The Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution both were written here, and studying about rights and responsibilities where the American government took shape is a singular opportunity. But Philadelphia is about much more than history. PENN LAW I. PHILADELPHIA We are a “City of Neighborhoods” Philadelphia, the fifth largest city in the United States, has a well-deserved reputation as one of the most livable cities in the country, a major urban center that has retained the feel of a “city of neighborhoods.” Whether you prefer the home-cooked Italian flavor of South Philly; the progressive political climate of Mt. Airy; the quirky, industrial culture of Northern Liberties; or the sophisticated, bustling nightlife of Rittenhouse Square and Old City; Philadelphia has a neighborhood that’s right for you. Be sure to venture out to explore the neighborhoods and get to know Philadelphia. With world-class museums, the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, and more than 10 professional sports teams in the area, there is always something to see or do. For a little fresh air, head to Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park, one of the largest metropolitan parks in the nation, which offers plenty of scenic jogging, biking, and hiking trails. There’s even a wonderful path along the Schuylkill River from Center City, past the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Boathouse Row, perfect for jogging or biking or a leisurely stroll. Philadelphia is also just an hour’s drive from the Jersey Shore and the Poconos, providing city residents with ocean waves in the summer and ski slopes in the winter. Though Philadelphia is the second-largest city on the East Coast, it is the heart of the Northeast Corridor, only a one-hour-and-20-minute trip from New York or two-hour trip from Washington, D.C., by train. ENJOY PHILADELPHIA! | 1 PHILADELPHIA IS ALSO A GREAT PLACE TO PLAY The city has some of the most well-reviewed restaurants in the nation featuring world-renowned chefs. Rittenhouse Square is a great place to spend a beautiful afternoon, and its cafés are fabulous for people-watching over an evening cocktail. Old City is one of Philly’s hot spots, with great restaurants, bars, and clubs. Don’t miss out on “First Friday,” the first Friday of every month on which Old City’s numerous art galleries throw opening parties in the evening, and whose crowds spill out into the streets. Follow any night out with a late-night visit to Pat’s or Geno’s at 9th and Passyunk in South Philly. These two famous steak places are open 24 hours (but closed major holidays). And be sure to explore every neighborhood’s local gems, such as Frankford Hall or Johnny Brenda’s in Northern Liberties or Pizzeria Vetri in Fairmount. Philadelphia is one of the world’s most exciting cities — which may be why National Geographic named Philadelphia the “Next Great City.” Whether you’re here for just one year or for your entire life, make sure to take advantage of everything the city has to offer. Dining in Center City. Philadelphia is known for its murals. Historic Elfreth’s Alley. PENN LAW Sansom Street. There are countless things to do and places to go in Philly.
