Wag! Walkers know Old City Lounge District
Located in central, historic Old City Philadelphia, the Old City Lounge District is a commercial area famous for its many bars, lounges, and nightclubs. Most of the businesses providing nightlife and entertainment are situated between 3rd and Market Streets and Front and Chestnut Streets. The surrounding Old Town region has boutiques, unique shops, theatres, and galleries. Residents of this around-the-clock neighborhood can walk to any number of restaurants, cafes, and clubs for early morning coffees or late night drinks. Residents with dogs will not only find an interesting streetscape for a stroll but plenty of nearby greenways.
The weather in Philadelphia can be a little on the damp side as Philly gets more than its fair share of rain and even light snow on frigid winter days. Be sure to check the forecast, dress warmly in the offseason, and pack an umbrella to keep dry. Philadelphia pooches may even appreciate a raincoat or doggy boots in this urban area!
