Philadelphia. City of brotherly love. So much of history. So many sides. It has everything. From Kensington poisoned by drugs to superb fine restaurants like Devon and Parc. Navy yards is one of very special places.

Yes. It is real military base. It is restricted. But you can get there. No paperwork is required 🙂 No document checks but one wrong turn and security guard will popup from nowhere and will escort you out. Borders of this zones are not very well market so, please check this map before going there.

You still can stroll around and find amazing things.

Actually after Navy opened portion of yards to public city made a good use of this opportunity. Turn little bit away from actual yard. Walk few steps.

And you will find yourself surrounded by abstract art and modern architecture.

Even if you do not have car it is easy to get here using special shuttles which go strait from center of city.
