Hip To Haute: Philly Abounds With Indie Shops
Owner-Operated Boutiques Reflect Singular Styles
Philadelphia comes by its independent spirit naturally—and so do Philadelphia’s stylish independently owned and operated shops. Bustling Old City in Historic Philadelphia has become renowned for its chic boutiques and mod galleries. In industrial and hip Northern Liberties, it’s shelter shops and craft galleries. And in upscale Rittenhouse, refined and sophisticated rules. Even the city’s suburbs subvert sameness with shops owned and operated by independent individuals. Inside each store, owner-retailers are steadfast fixtures, offering customers the latest looks—and an old-fashioned level of personal service.

Philly's More Original: Architectural And Design Weekend
Three Days, Three Centuries Of Artistic Inspiration
Laid out into a neat grid by city planner William Penn, Philadelphia naturally lends itself to smart design. Visitors can wander from the glittering Avenue of the Arts to the workaday Italian Market and from the cozy cobblestone streets of Old City to the industrial and hip sidewalks of Northern Liberties. Two hundred-year-old buildings mingle with modernist structures. Huge warehouses are reborn as chic lofts. Invention and reinvention are key. This easy itinerary, available at www.gophila.com, offers a glimpse of Philadelphia’s finest design—but feel free to stray to wherever your eyes may lead you.
