Welcome...

Greetings... from the Mayor Welcome to Philadelphia, the City of Br otherly Love and Sisterly Affection! As the birthplace of fr eedom in our nation, The City of Philadelphia pr oudly celebrates all people r egardless of their race, sexual orientation or socio-economic backgr ound. Philadelphia is commonly called "a city of firsts." The City is pr oud to be the home of the first organized protests for LGBT civil rights. Peaceful protests helped transform a fledgling national campaign into a full civil rights movement. While her e in Philadelphia, I hope that you will take the time to experience some of our fine r estaurants, the many rich cultural and historical opportunities of our wonderful city and our superb shopping venues. Our city , which adopted the principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness early in its history , has a special way of mixing history with warm hospitality and cool cultur e. Furthermore, I urge you to discover the unique diversity of our neighborhoods and the rich and exciting LGBT community that exists in Philadelphia. Y ou'll enjoy vibrant, urban communities and a nine block area known as the "Gayborhood" that is home to some of our dynamic retail and unrivaled dining experiences.

from the Executive Director Dear Philadelphia Visitors! Please accept my heartfelt welcome to Philadelphia on behalf of the entir e LGBT community. Philadelphia is home to one of the country’s most vibrant LGBT communities in every neighborhood. In 1965, one of the first demonstrations of LGBT political power came at the "Annual Reminder" picket line outside of Independence Hall. Some of the nation's first LGBT activists marched in these pickets and bravely started the wave of activism that would lead to the Stonewall Uprising in 1969. We're pr oud of this history , and we also celebrate the terrific community that resulted in our City. The Community Center serves as the informal LGBT V isitors Center and Concierge Desk, so please stop by at 1315 Spruce Str eet when you’re in town. Our historic building has local maps, information on restaurants and clubs, information about historical attractions, and someone at the Fr ont Desk who can pr ovide dir ections or other information. We also of fer fr ee wir eless access in our lobby , an accessible restroom, and a filtered water fountain! Whether you’re dining or clubbing in our Center City gayborhood, shopping in Mt. Airy, or enjoying a beautiful day in New Hope, I hope you'll come to appr eciate the br eadth of our gay history , culture, and community. Sincerely,

Chris Bartlett

Knock is an inviting, clubby environment with warm woods and one of the most popular and friendly bars in town. Start with rich, creamy mac and cheese with tender morsels of lobster throughout. Flat breads are light and tasty. Assorted sliders are sandwiched between uncommonly good buns. Crab cakes are meaty and make sure you try the meltingly tender, aromatic short ribs that fall off the bone. Desserts such as creamy peanut butter mouse pie, authentic key lime pie and flourless chocolate torte are an excellent way to get you in the mood for that perfect after dinner drink at the bar. - FunMaps Review 8
