Everything Old is New Again
Beer lovers, food fiends and art aficionados mingle in this historic neighborhood turned über-hip destination. Noteworthy landmarks like the B. Free Franklin Post Office and Betsy Ross’s house pepper the area’s colorful façade of quaint homes, art galleries (open late once a month for First Friday), music venues, worldly pubs and popular restaurants…where outdoor seating abounds. Indie boutiques, funky furniture stores and purveyors of modern housewares give the area a design-heavy utilitarian vibe.
