About this Neighborhood

Rittenhouse Square centers on one of the five original open-space parks William Penn planned in the late 17th century, and the neighborhood around it hums accordingly. Its 137 restaurants and 35 coffee shops earn a 4.8 Yelp average, with Cucina Zapata, Iovine Brothers Produce, and Four Seasons Juice Bar among the names in the mix. Part of the Rittenhouse-Fitler Historic District, the area layers cafes, Italian and seafood kitchens, and cocktail bars around the square. Nine parks and eight fitness spots give the dense, walkable district room to breathe.
