Rittenhouse Square is the most exclusive neighborhood in Philadelphia featuring the high rises you see in the city skyline, brownstones, and boutique condo buildings. While many parts of Philly are very relaxed and slower paced, Rittenhouse Square is a busy neighborhood with many corporate businesses housed in the high rises. You can also experience upscale shopping on Walnut St and chain stores on Chestnut St. Take a break from the hustle & bustle in Rittenhouse Square Park known for their weekly Farmers Market, art shows like the Fine Arts Festival in June and live performances. You can purchase a picnic basket from Parc and spread out on one of the lawns within and grab a drink afterward at Devon Seafood that borders the park. Rittenhouse Square is not shy to creative & fine dining including spots like The Love, The Dandelion, Bar Bombón, Davio’s Northern Italian Steakhouse, and Butcher & Singer. This neighborhood is convenient to the Curtis Institute of Music, Ethical Society, Philadelphia Art Alliance, and the Philadelphia City Institute’s Free Library.
