OLD CITY. If you're looking for a neighborhood with a bit of an edge, Old City may be right up your alley. Known as being one of the city's more artsy enclaves, the rows of buildings from the waterfront all the way back to Fourth Street are home to numerous shops and galleries that range in taste from stylish to downright avant-garde. Of course, Old City isn't only about shopping. For example, Elfreth's Alley, the oldest residential street in the United States is worth stopping by, especially if you're visiting during the Fete Days celebration in June. The neighborhood also boasts many of the city's top restaurants.
