University City: 4 Things to Do in Philly’s Best Neighborhood

 

There aren’t many places you can’t go in your trusty Toyota, so why not spend your time in one of America’s most vibrant cities? Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, definitely fits that bill. There’s a lot to love about Philly, from the architecture to the culture. And there’s no better example of how those two things combine for a unique experience than the University City area of West Philadelphia.

With a vibe that’s as lively as your Toyota, University City is never short on things to do. And nobody has the scoop on the eating, shopping, and entertainment scenes quite like your friends at Central City Toyota. While you can’t go wrong, there are some recommendations we’re particularly keen on. Read them below.

The Best Places to Take Your Toyota in University City

Arts

You drive a stylish Toyota, so chances are you appreciate creativity. Lucky for you, University City is rich in arts and culture. If exhibits are your thing, the Arthur Ross, Danger Danger, and Esther Klein galleries, to name a few, are great options in the area. Or, if performance is more your speed, dance companies like the Gwendolyn Bye Dance Center and Philadanco are just a short drive away.

Markets

Just as your Toyota adds value to your day-to-day life, markets add value to the local community. University City is home to a variety of farmers’ markets that provide the people of West Philadelphia with fresh fruits, veggies, dairy products, and baked goods. And with flexible hours and locations, there’s never really a bad time to enjoy them.

Parks

All work and no play makes anybody dull. That’s why University City is as fun to explore as your Toyota is to drive. Barkan Park, Cedar Park, Clark Park, Drexel Park, Penn Park, and Saunders Park Greene are all exciting options for you, your family, and your four-legged friends.

Restaurants

Toyota is all about options, and there’s no limit to your dining choices in University City. You name the culture of the cuisine, and this district likely has it. There are many highly-regarded restaurants to try in University City, but The Porch at 30th Street Station might be your festive option. The Porch hosts local food trucks and pop-up performances throughout the week so you can get your thrills and your meals at the same time.
