Rittenhouse Row

If you have a deep wallet and a love of shopping, you’ll find paradise in the sophisticated Rittenhouse Square area. The abundance of retail opportunities is unparalleled, with unique boutiques and high-end luxury chain stores sharing Walnut and Chestnut Streets and the blocks all around.

Two urban malls, the Shops at Liberty Place [1] and the Shops at the Bellevue [2], are packed with mainstream and high-end retailers respectively. In fact, all the chain staples can be found in this area, including the Gap, J. Crew, Victoria’s Secret, Ann Taylor, Borders, Zara, H&M, Loehmann’s, and American Apparel, along with the somewhat hipper, harder-to-find chains like Puma, Lucky Jeans, and Nicole Miller, and high-end chains like Kenneth Cole, Brooks Brothers, BCBG, Tiffany, and Williams-Sonoma.

The latest major chains to call Rittenhouse home are Barney’s Co-Op and Sephora, raising the status of the Philadelphia [3] shopping scene yet again to a level befitting one of the largest cities in the country.
