Philadelphia/Northern Liberties
From World travel guide
The Northern Liberties neighborhood extends approximately from 2nd street to 6th street east-west, and from Spring Garden Street to Girard Avenue north-south. Until about the 1960's, Northern Liberties was home to Philadelphia's breweries. Ortleib's, Schmidt's, and Ballantine. (These beers are tougher to find these days, but live on at Citizens Bank Park's (home of the Philadelphia Phillies baseball team) Brewerytown stand.) It fell into a disrepair once the breweries declined.
Today, however, it is quickly becoming the "New Manayunk" - an immensely popular neighborhood with trendy shops and bars. Northern Liberties is an excellent place to spend an evening out, with plentiful free parking, and a large number of unique bars and restaurants well within walking distance. http://www.northernliberties.org/ is a community bulletin board, while http://www.nlna.org/ is the neighborhood association website.
