Keeping it fresh in Philly
Philadelphia continues to welcome new destination-worthy attractions and add to its vibrant culinary scene. Doing so landed the city on TIME’s World’s Greatest Places list for 2021. Here are just a few of Philadelphia’s new or coming soon attractions.
Liberty Point
This year, Philadelphia welcomed its largest restaurant, Liberty Point. Located on the Delaware River waterfront, the 28,000-square-foot restaurant is adjacent to and wrapped around the waterfront side of the Independence Seaport Museum. The giant indoor-outdoor space can host up to 1,400 people at a time. It features three main levels for food, drinks and live entertainment.
Lilah
2022 also saw the opening of Lilah, an event space from restaurateurs Steven Cook and James Beard Award-winner Michael Solomonov. The new private event space in the heart of Philadelphia’s popular Fishtown neighborhood occupies a former industrial warehouse totaling 7,000 square feet and can accommodate up to 250 guests. The venue offers on-site catering, with customizable tasting menus featuring the restaurant group’s take on Jewish cooking.
The Clay Studio
The Clay Studio, a non-profit arts institution dedicated to promoting and creating ceramic arts through community programs, recently opened its new 34,000-square-foot, four-story home. It is a first-of-its-kind ceramic arts facility built from the ground up in the United States. The studio features two event spaces, including a rooftop pavilion for receptions and sit-down dinners with a view of the Philadelphia skyline.
Reading Terminal Market
Philadelphia’s iconic Reading Terminal Market has broken ground on a revitalization project set to be completed this fall. The $1 million project will transform a neighboring block of Filbert Street into a multi-purpose event and dining space. The goal is to create about 15,000 square feet of public space outside Reading Terminal Market for the public and guests to enjoy.
