For better or for worse, South Kensington is a neighborhood in transition. Fancy new developments are popping up everywhere, but like so many areas of Philadelphia, the true appeal of South Kensington comes from it’s rich history and amalgamation of cultures. Although South Kensington isn’t (yet) the tourist destination that neighboring Northern Liberties or Fishtown are touted as, it still has much to offer.
Made-in-Philadelphia jeans, totes, belts, aprons and more.
A reuse store that focuses on creative materials like fabric, wood, art supplies and more.
New Liberty is one of the latest distilleries to pop up in Philadelphia. Stop by for one of their weekend tours (they offer several different packages) and head on up to the bar on the third floor where bartenders mix up creative cocktails featuring their own signature whiskeys combined with homemade syrups and herbs from the garden outside. It’s a beautifully renovated building and a frequent private event space.
