Philadelphia
Part of the Places of a Lifetime series from Traveler magazine
Betsy Ross sewed the first American flag in Philadelphia. Today the city is a rich and
diverse quilt bringing together 152 distinct neighborhoods, weaving the silks of Society
Hill, the blue collars of Fishtown, and the tweeds of Chestnut Hill with the sequins and
feathers of the Mummers, who strut down Broad Street in a traditional New Year’s
extravaganza. Visitors expect to find history here and they do, at such landmarks as
Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, and the house where Betsy Ross stitched the
original stars and stripes. In recent years, a vibrant tapestry of restaurants, art, and
entertainment has unfurled in yuppified Manayunk, up-and-coming Northern Liberties,
and Center City, the beating heart of downtown.
