About this Neighborhood

Powelton Village is a national historic district of Victorian and twin homes inside West Philadelphia's University City, and it eats like a student-and-professor crossroads. With 62 restaurants, 17 coffee shops (averaging 4.6) and twelve parks, it's one of the most amenity-dense neighborhoods on this list. Cucina Zapata, Lyn's and the New York Gyro Truck point to a food-truck culture Foursquare regulars confirm, sandwich spots, cafes, pizzerias and fast eats alongside the sit-downs. Nine groceries, four gyms and three courts keep the daily loop tight, and Yelp's 4.8 average across roughly 1,580 reviews says people leave happy.
