Why Pennsport is an Awesome Philadelphia Neighborhood
Pennsport gets its name from its proximity to the docks that once played host to everything that came and went from our fair city; though a little less maritime-centric in the 21st century, Pennsport is an excellent option for city dwellers these days. It can be a little out of the way from Center City, but it’s got much to offer in its own right. Pennsport is also home to one of the most vibrant breakfast scenes in all of Philadelphia. Spanning from the Delaware River over to 4th Street, and from Washington Avenue to Snyder Avenue, Pennsport is a slice of South Philly that is surely not to be missed. With proximity to the highways, shopping options, and with a culture of its own, don’t sleep on Pennsport!
Getting To and From Pennsport
As with most neighborhoods in Philly that sit on the edge of a river, Pennsport is easily accessible by highway. Both I-95 and I-76 will do the trick; just hop off by Columbus Boulevard and Oregon Avenue. The 57 and the 79 are the major lines that run through Pennsport, but you can also take the 7, 25, 29, or the 64 buses to get to the neighborhood. Broad Street Line riders can hop off at Tasker-Morris or Snyder and trek about ten blocks east. This flat neighborhood is very walkable and bikeable for those who choose their own adventure!
