About Philadelphia's Penns Landing

Curious about the Philadelphia Waterfront? There's never been a better time to live along the Delaware River.

Waterfront Square

901 N Penn Street

Philadelphia, PA 19123

This is located next to the new SugarHouse Casino site. There is an enormous amount of development planned for this side of the waterfront. Philadelphia is currently developing a piece of land just south of this high rise cluster on The Festival Pier on Deleware Ave and Spring Garden. The Race Street Pier is already a lovely walking park. On your visit to 901 N Front Street please check ot Northern Liberties, specifically the Piazza At Schmidt's marked by the HUGE Flat Screen TV and Liberties Walk in addition to the Race Street Pier.

Pier 3

3 North Columbus Blvd

Philadelphia, PA 19106

Piers 3 and 5 were once thriving ports for all kind of imported food, goods and exotic cargo. Today, to the South is Penn's Landing, famous for the site of the most amazing fireworks, the Moshulu Boat/Restaurant, the Spirit of Philadelphia Cruises, and The Philadelphia Seaport Museum. Across Columbus Boulevard is the Historic District of Old City filled with more galleries per block than any other part of Philadelphia. And let's not forget the shopping and dining and History! We recommend Old City Coffee to get your engines started, a visit to the Fireman's Museum after that, and some window shopping on North 3rd Street before lunch. You will not go hungry with all of the choices available to you (Mexican, Indian, Tapas, etc.) anywhere along Market and Chestnut.

The Residences at Dockside

717 S Columbus Blvd

Philadelphia, PA 19147

Directly across the street from Dockside is Philadelphia's renowned Queen Village, South Street, and all of the fine dining shopping and entertainment you can take in. I highly recommend checking out the Farmer's Market in Head House Square, grabbing lunch at Famous 4th Street Delicatessen (expect to bring back a doggie bag!), and walk it off along South Street while you do some shopping and people watching.

The New Race Street Pier Brings Energy to Philadelphia

The New Race Street Pier Brings Energy to Philadelphia

Stephanie and I took a lovely walk to the newly opened Race Street Pier this past weekend. Not only does it bring energy, it provides access to the River !

Before this was just a barren wasteland. Now it is a lovely, manicured, landscaped getaway of sorts: a little piece of heaven on Penns Landing where folks can walk out onto to the pier, next to the Ben Franklin bridge, enjoy a water ice, some music and a nice breeze.

It is a great addition to the City of Philadelphia ! Having another destination on the River is a great start of many things to come.

It will be a great summer !

It was a gray day in Philadelphia yesterday, and probably today as well! But on a walk during lunch break at Rain Camp, I found this wonderful photo opp on a walk along the river. Of course, I had my camera with me. We all had our cameras in hand the enitre time! And I'm glad I did.
