Old City Section of Philadelphia:
'Old City is Philadelphia's original neighborhood. The most happening spot of old city lies along 2nd and 3rd Streets, heading south into Society Hill, an upscale answer to South Street's funk. If you're looking for art galleries and performance theaters, head just north of Market Street. Old City is known for the most exciting collection of art galleries on the East Coast. For restaurants, look just south to Chestnut and along Market. "---from: http://www.aroundphilly.com/neighborhoods.php/
