Know where to go in Philly.
The local's guide to stoner life in Philly. The real deal on the law, where to eat late, and what to do with the rest of the night.
Is it legal?Stoner Philly is a local's guide to living well as a stoner in Philadelphia: where to get a cheesesteak or roast pork when the munchies hit, which old theaters still run real film, what to see when you want to get out of the house, and the real deal on weed laws.
Quick heads up: Pennsylvania is still medical only, Philly treats small amounts as a fine, and New Jersey is fully legal right across the river. The plain-English version lives on is weed legal in Philly, and where to smoke covers the rest.
After that it's all about the city. Start with a neighborhood, find something to see or watch, and finish with something good to eat.
Neighborhoods
Eight neighborhoods, eight different vibes. Pick one and go.
-
Fishtown
Frankford Avenue is the spine, the river is the backyard, and the best night here is one long walk with a few stops.
Explore Fishtown → -
Northern Liberties
Old brewery blocks, a bowling alley with a bar problem, and a park the neighbors built themselves.

South Philly
Rowhomes, folding chairs on the sidewalk, and the best sandwich density in America. Come hungry, leave heavier.

Old City
Colonial cobblestones by day, galleries and bars by night, and the river right there the whole time.
Explore Old City → -
Center City
Downtown Philly is walkable, packed with food, and much more fun when you treat it like a neighborhood instead of an office park.
Explore Center City → -
Manayunk
An old mill town on the Schuylkill with one long main drag, a canal path, and hills steep enough to host a pro bike race.
Explore Manayunk → -
West Philly
Big porches, old trees, a sphinx, a botanical garden older than the country, and injera on every other corner of Baltimore Avenue.
Explore West Philly → -
East Passyunk
One diagonal street, a fountain that plays music, and more good restaurants per block than anywhere else in South Philly.
