Baltimore Avenue

This street is an old turnpike that went from Philadelphia to Baltimore
and is one of the major arteries through West Philadelphia. The trolleys
that still run down the street are what made this neighborhood the most
desirable suburb of Philadelphia in the decades after the Civil War
because the streetcars provided easy access to jobs in Center City.

Great restaurants pepper the historic avenue including the popular
Ethopian eatery – Dahlak on 47th Street. If you are more in the mood
for a delicious Vietnamese meal, then you can try Vietnam Cafe which
is practically right next door. In addition, the area boasts Thai, Indian,
Caribbean, and bar food.
