if philly -> hey, i grew up in pennsport- it's the other side of washington ave (basically an extra three minute walk from queen village if you're north of wharton street*). if budget is a big concern, consider checking into some places for rent there, you could likely get a row home at a good (or cheaper than center city) price. hypothetically.

* i know this, because my best friend lived on front & queen

Almost got a place here last year. Would definitely look there again, basically for the reasons milt mentioned. Plus you're in walking distance of Show and Tel.

went to Show and Tel this summer as part of a B-party. Worst mistake of my young life

i've still never been but my buddy likes playing snatchsketball there

I would be a little wary of Pennsport just because it's really tough for people who are in CC, GHo, and even Bella Vista/South Philly to get over there. It's kind of on the fringe and a heck of a walk. Also can be a bit of a sketchy neighborhood, like sometimes at night I'll go over and down 2nd and back to get to my friends house instead of right down 4th.

(no offense, milt)

none taken. in the original draft of my note to meatball i had advised he stay in the washington to wharton/front to moyamensing box but was afraid the gentrifiers would yell at me.

No man, there's projects around there. Ain't no gentrifiers fuck with that.

I'd pay attention to the man who takes 911 calls

Actually it's really the best district in the city outside of the Far Northeast (which is basically the suburbs). East of Broad Street, South of Lombard, North of the Navy Yard. Best part is the northernmost part, from Lombard down to Christian, but even south of that it's really quiet.

I dunno. You did a hidden identity video appearance on TV. I associate that with being a former mob hitman, so you've got to be fairly badass.

oh correction, the 5th district (Roxborough/Manayunk/Andorra) is the best district. then Far NE then this.

i'd rather be down by the market than in manayunk. too many suburban kids on the weekends there. of course, i liked it when i was 22.

i second the new wave mojo and the crepes place at 4th (?) and bainbridge is pretty good as well.

by **Houshphandzadeh** » Mon Jan 24, 2011 14:53:33

yeah, Beau Monde is off the chain, though expensive

no one is moving to Manayunk

by **The Dude** » Mon Jan 24, 2011 14:56:05

beau monde is my favorite. might be best bloody mary in the city

by **meatball** » Mon Jan 24, 2011 15:01:55

new wave is awesome...used to go there a few years back. hopefully this bella vista place works out, 'cause it'd be the tits. only thing is i couldn't move into mid-march. but 45 days of awkwardness is a small price to pay for a new bachelor pad in a sweet neighborhood.

There's always The Dude's Xbox room
