Manayunk

The Scene: Derived from the Lenape Indian phrase "where we go to drink," this riverside neighborhood grew up as a booming industrial district. The mill town has been reinvented as a trendy, historic neighborhood and a popular shopping and nightlife spot. Signs of English, Irish, German, Italian, and Polish roots are served up in the form of international cuisine and one-of-a-kind shops.

The Big Thing: More than 30 restaurants line Main Street, sharing sidewalks with approximately 20 home wares and furniture shops. The Manayunk Brewery, neighborhood taverns, and al fresco dining are very popular. Warmer months welcome a bustling happy hour scene and most shops and restaurants offer special deals and stay open late on Thursdays. Manayunk is also a prime recreation destination, offering kayak tours and hiking, along with a challenging hilly street called the “Manayunk Wall” for cyclists to test their stamina.
