We've already been called one of the Best Cities for Hipsters.

No surprise then, that Northern Liberties makes the list of Forbes' America's Best Hipster Neighborhoods with the likes of Portland's Pearl District, Silverlake, and Williamsburg. While we can think of some seriously hip neighborhoods throughout Philadelphia, Northern Liberties tops the list as the original. Meaning it was hipster before the world knew what a hipster was. Here's what Forbes had to say about our hood:

"Sometimes called NoLibs, this hood is fast falling prey to a hipster influx. With one of the highest walkability scores on our list, it boasts some of Philly's best restaurants, coffee shops and art galleries. Clubs, bars, and bowling offer funky nightlife festivities. And for those literary lovers with gothic streak, the house once inhabited by Edgar Allen Poe is located here."

The list was compiled using Walkscore criteria, from the number of coffee shops per capita, food trucks, farmers markets, independent businesses, and artistic occupations. It sounds like they've got hipness down to a science. We'll take it. And perhaps Fishtown, Graduate Hospital, and the Loft District/Eraserhood will make the list next year? Read the article in full hereand let us know what you think: Is Northern Liberties the hippest place in town?

Come live with the hip people. Take a peek at our Northern Liberties listings.
