Old City Philadelphia is the Nation's most historic square mile, most of the stock dates to pre-1900 and includes Betsy Ross house, Elfreth's Alley and The Independence Hall. The Liberty Bell and the Independence Visitor Center are also major tourist attractions.

There are over 40 art galleries, over 100 restaurants and several museums.

On the First Friday of every month all of the galleries open until late and a festive atmosphere ensues. Crowds of people young and old throng the streets. Often bands play in the streets it's a fun time!

Silicon Gallery has been a vital part of the scene since 1993 and usually attracts a thousand or more visitors during the evening.
