You’ll find kinder prices in East Passyunk than in Center City, though the neighborhood’s hippest homes will still fetch a fairly high sum.

Many other homes are quite affordable if you’re willing to spend some time and money bringing them back to life.
You’ve definitely got to check out the area’s longstanding, local businesses on the avenue. Marra’s Pizzeria has been going strong since 1927. East Passyunk Avenue has Italian origins and its dining scene still reflects that, but many other styles of cuisine are also present. Cantina Los Caballitos has some of the best Mexican fare around, whether you’re looking for tacos and margaritas or slow-cooked goat. Elsewhere in the neighborhood, diners enjoy Spanish tapas, French cuisine, sushi, Malaysian skewers, and more.
You’ll be met with a community full of supportive residents that take pride in the area’s achievements. Locals want to see East Passyunk thrive. The neighborhood’s architecture is largely made up of classic, red-brick rows and low-rise buildings, with added flourishes decorating storefronts to attract the eyes of passersby. The area doesn’t have too much greenspace beyond a few sports fields and a dog park, but its local businesses are hard to beat.
Start the evening early with a trip to the used record store off East Passyunk Avenue and Tasker Street. They’ll meet your vinyl and other retro needs. East Passyunk also has your comfort foods, tapas bars, pubs, cocktail joints, hookah lounges, and upscale eateries. Stay abreast of the seasonal events and festivals. There’s even a tree lighting during the winter holidays.
For brunch, visit the Green Eggs Cafe for a rich treat, then do a little weekday shopping at a local boutique to find organic and gourmet specialty items made by locals. Drop by the celebrated Singing Fountain off East Passyunk Avenue, where Tasker Street and South 11th Street meet, then relax in the shade at Columbus Square.
The BSL subway runs along the neighborhood’s western border, Broad Street, getting residents to Center City in about 15 minutes.
