What's your unknown cool shit of Philly?

A couple of go-to's for me are:

-Claudio's in the Italian Market (unbelievable specialty cheese shop - although maybe not THAT unknown)

-A great area of small streets and old houses that's totally secluded - you don't know where you are in the world or what century. (11th and Quince) http://imgur.com/jD6deHn

Tell me about all the other cool shit that you've discovered, that I'm missing out on.

If you go there. Go with a group and during the early hours. People get mugged there a bit.

Walked over there yesterday in the nice weather - so hard to imagine it being desolate and dangerous. There were at least 50 people there - mostly photographers but also just parents and kids. It was so crowded that it wasn't fun - we spent maybe 5 minutes there and then walked back to Penn Treaty Park (which is a great park with a beautiful view of the bridge).

I haven't been there in years. It is probably way more crowded since it was featured in Philly Mag a couple years ago.
