Gayborhood

gayborhood  philadelphia pa

Situated within the borders of Philadelphia’s Washington Square West neighborhood, the Gayborhood is one of Philly’s hottest spots. Its nightlife is marked by the many LGBT friendly bars and clubs that dot the area between Walnut and Spruce Streets. Whether you’re into cheap beer and dives, suits and cocktails, or something a little more wild, the gay-friendly establishments that gave the Gayborhood its popularity have what you need for a fun night out.

 

Nightclubs, though there are many, are not the only choices when deciding how to spend your night. Many of the city’s newest and yummiest restaurants lie within the friendly borders. Parisian cuisine at the Caribou Cafe delivers remarkable plates, perfect for pre or post theatre meals, and Green Eggs Cafe’s, know by Philly locals for its famous brunch (check out the red velvet pancakes!), opened its newest location here .

 

Whether you’re sipping a latte or letting loose, the Gayborhood’s rainbow-painted crosswalks will happily lead you where you long to be. Meet old friends or make some new ones, in Philly’s friendliest neighborhood.

This area offers mostly condominiums, with very few row-homes or single family homes. The condos vary from high-rise buildings to low-rise buildings, one to three bedrooms, some with parking some without. Many of the low-rise condo buildings were converted from the mansions they originally were originally and made into condominium units. The few row-homes in midtown village range from small 1,100 square foot two or three story homes up to larger 1,800 to 2,500 square foot developments with parking.
