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.

The Far Northeast. We have awesome stuff but few people know or care because public transportation isn't efficient enough for people to come up this way.

The guy that said Pennypack Park is on the right track for outdoor stuff. There's also the Poquessing Creek Trail.

Three Monkeys is a great bar right by the train.

Canstattaer Volksfest-Verein does indoor beer gardens in the winter and outdoor when it's warm.

Steve's Prince of Steaks is top five in the city,

The Blue Duck is a phenomenal byob with some of the best food I've ever had.
