rittenhouse square: In Your Face, Center City: Philadelphia Deserves Better!
- 07/31/11 03:13 AM
In your face Center City: Philadelphia deserve better ! I was asked the following by a close friend who is struggling with where he wants to live in Philadelphia. "Stephanie, if you could live anywhere in Philly no matter what the cost, where would you live?" I said, without a moment of hesitation, "I'd live right where I am, here in Northern Liberties". If Northern Liberties did not exist I would live in any of the Fringe Neighborhoods such as: Art Museum, Graduate Hospital, Queen Village, Passyunk Square, Fishtown, etc.. "Do you want to know where I would not live? Center City," I … (5 comments)
rittenhouse square: Walnut Street's Shiny New Apple Store
- 08/02/10 03:55 AM
We had to see it to believe it, but Philadelphia's first Apple Store opened on Friday and has been buzzing all weekend with both the curious and the devoted. The location on the 1600 block of Walnut Street will pull in many shoppers and also boost sidewalk traffic along Rittenhouse Row. As you can see, the blue shirted Apple employees are on top of it, meaning that there was rarely a line to be seen on Saturday.
The spacious store has high ceilings and slick silver walls lined with Apple goodies. At the rear of the room, the Genius … (7 comments)
rittenhouse square: Sometimes When You Lose, You Win !
- 06/06/10 01:28 AM
Sometimes When You Lose, You Win ! Several months ago I went on a listing appointment in the Graduate Hospital / Rittenhouse Square area. I thought for sure that I was going to be doing business with this seller, but she informed me that she decided to go with another Realtor. It was a little disappointing in that my presentation was crisp, the communication was great and the rapport between us was excellent. But when someone meets with 4 or 5 Realtors, your chances are obviously 20 to 25 percent. In this case, she went with the last Realtor she met with … (83 comments)
rittenhouse square: Philadelphia Chutney Company Coming Along on Sansom Street
- 06/02/10 01:13 AM
Workers are keeping busy at the soon-to-open Philadelphia Chutney Company, which is taking over the old Remedy Tea Bar space at 1628 Sansom Street in Center City. Will the green paint and black awning be the next changes? What will set this Indian restaurant apart from others is its focus on organic ingredients and Southern Indian cuisine. There are plenty of Northern Indian curry houses in Philadelphia, and this will bring something new to the table. What can you expect from South Indian cooking? A greater emphasis on rice, a heavy dose of coconut and coconut oil, and plenty of … (5 comments)
You're considering your lunch options in Rittenhouse Square when it hits you. Tacos. A nice, sunny spot in the Square. An hour of pure contentment. You drag your coworker to Mexico on the Square. They grumble that it better be worth it. You know it will be, so you just smile. The former owners of Savoy Mexican Grill (the odder than odd taqueria/deli/flower shop that used to be at 18th and Spruce Streets) have moved over to 15th and Pine. They're calling it Mexico on the Square, and while it isn't exactly as close as their old location, the … (3 comments)
rittenhouse square: Rittenhouse's Only Speakeasy That Serves Guacamole
- 05/12/10 03:24 AM
Welcome to Ranstead Room. Congratulations, because you've found it. Tucked away on Ranstead Street, in the middle of nothing, look for a black door with two red R's. The quieter component of Stephen Starr's Mexican diner, El Rey, is this dimly lit barroom. Vintage velvet wallpaper, scandalous artwork, and deep red booths all bring a hush to the room. The sound of 40's-era cocktails being made at the bar and the matching music all place you in a softer time. Ranstead Room's cocktail list was developed by New York mixologist Sasha Petraske and bears concoctions like the zesty Piquin Cocktail, a … (0 comments)

Tomorrow is Earth Day, and you should treat every day like it is, but the following nods to the planet make it a little more encouraging to do so. It isn't all heavy lifting and getting dirty. You can make small efforts in the everyday things that you do - like shopping or dining out - things that we normally associate with guilt. In Northern Liberties, Earth Day is about saving the planet and another type of green during Arcadia's Earth Day Sale. From noon to 8 pm, your eco-threads provider will donate 10% of all sales to Earth … (1 comments)
rittenhouse square: What's Open 14 Hours Daily in Rittenhouse Square and Will Change Your Life?
- 04/19/10 02:34 AM
Answer: El Rey, Stephen Starr's answer for an empty former Midtown Diner IV space in Rittenhouse Square. While the interior of the Mexican diner still looks like the old 24-hour haunt that you remember, the design of the restaurant involved a trip to Mexico and flea market finds to stir El Rey to life. The exterior has only changed slightly, brightening the 2000 block of Chestnut Street with a golden brick front and a fun sign that promises to change your life. The original Midtown Diner IV sign is still there, with some slight adjustments. Are those 14 hours 11 - … (0 comments)
Fitler Square is truly a hangout for locals who live in the quiet, tree-lined neighborhood that's known as a calmer, more residential cousin of Rittenhouse Square. It's smaller than other squares, but if you venture west for another block, you'll come across tennis courts, fields, two dog parks - one general and one for smaller dogs, and the gorgeous Schuylkill River Garden at the Schuylkill River Park. Every fourth Sunday from April - October, gardeners and residents bring dishes for an outdoor garden potluck there. This makes Fitler Square a nice community hideaway full of outdoor possibilities.

We all know that Rittenhouse Square belongs to the dogs - the tiny pampered ones, the tall elegant ones, the shaggy playful ones. The above statue proves it. They're all here for their daily walks in hopes that their owners will stop by Metropolitan Bakery, south of the Square, for some dog treats.

Rittenhouse Square is in Center City, Philadelphia. The major shopping, dining, and business destination is where visitors and locals come together for culture and nightlife. As one of the most convenient areas for commuters to get to by public transportation, many Philadelphians come to Rittenhouse for work, shopping and entertainment. Those that travel end up staying near Rittenhouse Square, due to the variety of hotels that it offers. Rittenhouse Square itself is akin to Central Park, albeit much smaller, as it attracts dog walkers, musicians, and all types in one common public space. There is a lot to see and do … (3 comments)
When New York outfitters Brooklyn Industries scoped out their 13th location, they decided it was time to travel to Philadelphia. I'm guessing they were tired of so many Philadelphians raiding their sale racks at the Williamsburg location. They've branched out to other trendsetting cities like Portland and Chicago, so we are flattered that they chose a Walnut Street outpost in Rittenhouse Square for their functional minis, soft pima cotton tees, and casual men's shirts. The new store, open since February 1st, is one floor of fashion with a second floor slated for an art gallery. BKI made use of … (2 comments)
