Queen Village
Queen Village is the date for the second or third one, after the loud bar has done its job. The blocks south of South Street - Fabric Row on 4th, the Italian Market edge, Weccacoe Playground at dusk - move at a different speed than the rest of Center City. Dinner at Hungry Pigeon or a long sit at Royal Boucherie, then a walk past Gloria Dei (Old Swedes') and down to Penn's Landing if the weather agrees. The rowhouse quiet is the point. Crowd skews settled, thirties and up, people who own a cast-iron pan. Bring conversation, not a closing argument.
