Rittenhouse Square

center city upscale · 19103

Rittenhouse is the closest thing Philly has to a built-in date district. The square does the work: Parc for people-watching brunch, Devon for oysters at the bar, Tria for wine without reservation drama. Walnut Street pulls the law firm and Comcast Tower crowd after six, which is why the median date skews mid-thirties professional rather than student. Density helps. You can park a drink at Friday Saturday Sunday, walk to Vernick, end at Twenty Manning, and never cross Broad. The tradeoff is sameness. Everyone is well-dressed, nobody is surprising, and the bill adds up faster than the conversation does.
