Compared to the Chinatown of other cities, Philadelphia's is fairly small. It is home to a variety of Asian ethnicities (not just Chinese) and is a popular neighborhood for young people. The streets are dominated by homes, restaurants, and boutique stores. Chinatown's symbol is its "Friendship Arch", an ornate paifang in the heart of the neighborhood, located at 10th and Arch streets. Though it is commonly found in many North American Chinatowns, the Arch Street incarnation is more ela 39.95369, -75.15626 · [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=39.953687&mlon=-75.156261#map=17/39.953687/-75.156261) · [Wikivoyage note](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Philadelphia) · [place page](/place/plc_1VRYF74NDPK2GFAZWJP876AGQ9) Audio: not available — OpenVibe.AI has no speech-synthesis API today. 2. ## The African American Museum in Philadelphia Built to preserve, interpret, and exhibit achievements of African Americans. 39.95317, -75.15184 · [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=39.953169&mlon=-75.151836#map=17/39.953169/-75.151836) · [Wikivoyage note](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Philadelphia) · [place page](/place/plc_WXXS9R5AMNY4ASQFYEM9MFDF93) Audio: not available — OpenVibe.AI has no speech-synthesis API today. 3. ## Washington Square West A lively neighborhood, extending from 7th to Broad Street, Chestnut to South Street. It is bordered by the quieter neighborhoods of Rittenhouse Square to the west and Old City/Society Hill to the east. It is home to Antique Row and Mid-Town Village (two great shopping districts), historic cobbled streets, theaters, restaurants and more. Antique Row (Pine Street between about 13th and 9th Streets) is full of interesting shops, not all of them antiques-oriented. This neighborhood is a good place to see Philadelphia's native style of house, the "trinity" -- two, three, or four floors, one room pe 39.94718, -75.15247 · [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=39.94718&mlon=-75.15247#map=17/39.94718/-75.15247) · [Wikivoyage note](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Philadelphia) · [place page](/place/plc_3KNG53549KWN0PBJRJTS954N3G) Audio: not available — OpenVibe.AI has no speech-synthesis API today. 4. ## The Gayborhood A subsection of Washington Square West, the Gayborhood is Philadelphia's traditional LGBTQ-friendly area. It covers from about Broad and Walnut about 11th and Pine, and is most strongly associated with 12th and 13th streets, especially from Pine to Walnut. The Gayborhood is comprised of bars, restaurants and other LGBTQ-friendly business, including Giovanni's Room, the oldest operating queer bookstore in the U.S. Popular establishments include Woody's, Pure, and 12th Street Gym. Most straight-owned Gayborhood businesses are friendly to the LGBT community and straights alike regardless of orien 39.94706, -75.16170 · [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=39.94706&mlon=-75.1617#map=17/39.94706/-75.1617) · [Wikivoyage note](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Philadelphia) · [place page](/place/plc_FA2GWNQ75TV0GQRMESBYNJRMWV) Audio: not available — OpenVibe.AI has no speech-synthesis API today. 5. ## Rosenbach Museum and Library Hourly tours (Tu-F 11AM-4PM) take visitors through this fine old townhouse owned by a pair of rare-book dealers, which has grown into a museum and archive. The Maurice Sendak room, full of his sketches and pages, also contains Herman Melville's own bookcase, which holds the copy of Moby-Dick he inscribed to Hawthorne. A handsome double library on another floor holds Joyce's manuscript for Ulysses. On the top floor, poet Marianne Moore's Greenwich Village living room has been installed, to go along with the Rosenbach's trove of Moore papers. 39.94736, -75.17502 · [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=39.947364&mlon=-75.175019#map=17/39.947364/-75.175019) · [Wikivoyage note](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Philadelphia) · [place page](/place/plc_HFB7N9KXHFJYRAGX3HSXX2RCPY) Audio: not available — OpenVibe.AI has no speech-synthesis API today. 6. ## The Mütter Museum It used to be open only to medical students, but this collection of medical oddities is quickly becoming one of the city's most popular attractions. Not for the faint of heart, this museum includes lots of items in formaldehyde, lots of skeletons, and one of the only women to ever decompose into soap. 39.95326, -75.17639 · [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=39.953263&mlon=-75.176389#map=17/39.953263/-75.176389) · [Wikivoyage note](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Philadelphia) · [place page](/place/plc_XYMT0CEC6KT0KXRJXMSMY6211F) Audio: not available — OpenVibe.AI has no speech-synthesis API today. 7. ## Rodin Museum Displays the largest collection of Rodin's work outside of Paris. 39.96195, -75.17394 · [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=39.961948&mlon=-75.17394#map=17/39.961948/-75.17394) · [Wikivoyage note](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Philadelphia) · [place page](/place/plc_1NGQSZRT46RKTB7K38SZJV6CAG) Audio: not available — OpenVibe.AI has no speech-synthesis API today. ## Use this route [Sign in](/auth/login?next=%2Froutes%2Frte_Z72J857J0E7JA0P3XWHNZYFSKS) to add this route to a trip.
