Philadelphia - The City that Loves You Back!The Community -
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaEveryone knows Philly is a historic place - the birthplace of the nation and all that - but do you know what makes it a fresh, cosmopolitan city with nearly anything you could imagine to do, eat, visit, see and cheer for? Philadelphia is a city of distinct but connected neighborhoods, over 100 in total. From the Great Northeast to South Philly, diverse and inviting neighborhoods are filled with stoop-front rowhouses, detached homes, and high-rise apartments and condos. Commuting around Philly is easy and convenient, at least compared to other northeast cities. The average one-way commute time in Philadelphia is 31.5 minutes. From the unique neighborhoods around the city and the facilitated means of travel to the infamous snack attacks like the Philly Cheesesteak, hoagies, or soft pretzels with "whiz" (cheddar sauce), finding your way around to a good meal is beyond easy to accomplish here.
Not to mention, there are tons of free stuff to do. Enjoying Philly on a budget is easy - you just have to know where to go. Several historic sites don't cost a dime, like the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, and many museums have free or pay-what-you-wish days. Museums not really your style? Check out the Kimmel Center or the World Cafe' Live for free performances and concerts that happen frequently. And of course, you can't talk about Philadelphia without at least mentioning the major sports that this fine city houses a team in each. Philadelphians bleed team colors and everyone is involved from every walk of life, and the city's mood is reflected based on yesterday's win or loss. So if you want to walk into nearly any conversation in Philly, be sure to know the Birds' playoff chances or your favorite Philly!
