Old City Life Elfreth’s Alley is known as our nation’s oldest residential street. It has been occupied by residents and business owners since 1702. Today the Alley looks much like it did in the 18^th Century thanks to the Elfreth’s Alley Association who helped secure its spot as a National Historic Landmark District. Thirty-two houses built between 1728 and 1836 line the alley forming one of the last intact early American streetscapes in the nation. We will take a stroll down this street to get a sense of what life might have been like in the city where our nation was founded.

 Out in the Gayborhood 13^th Street Shops & Restaurants. Philadelphia has a notable history involving the gay rights movement. The 1965 march in front of Independence Hall was one of the earliest public protests for equal rights. The city’s 1982 Fair Practices Act was one of the country's earliest gay civil rights measures. Today Philadelphia is home to a vibrant gay community and 13^th Street is at the heart of it all. This lively street is chock-full of bars, restaurants and shops to tantalize the senses. We will meander in and out of the numerous gay-owned stores that line two blocks that make up the Gayborhood.

Puttin’ on the Ritts Rittenhouse Square is the final stop for this evening stroll. This picturesque park is one of the five original parks planned for Philadelphia by William Penn in the late 17^th century. In the latter half of the 19^th century Rittenhouse became the most fashionable neighborhood to live in and home to the “Victorian aristocracy”. Today it remains one of the most glamorous areas in the city, surrounded by luxury hotels, fine-dining restaurants and the most desirable addresses in the city.
