Known locally as “Old City,” Center City East comprises some of Philadelphia's oldest buildings, dating back to colonial times. The area includes the Graff house, where Thomas Jefferson lived while writing the Declaration of Independence; Independence Hall, where it was signed and ratified; and numerous other legendary American artifacts and landmarks such as the Liberty Bell.
As you might expect, it’s an extremely popular tourist destination, but the vintage buildings are home to exquisite restaurants and a thriving nightlife scene that locals can’t get enough of. Philadelphia’s Chinatown takes up a significant portion of the neighborhood, injecting international flair into the all-American landscape. The tight layout gives many residents the option of walking to work, the grocery store, or out to eat, while PATCO and SEPTA service provide several convenient options for getting around the city.
