Neighborhood Jawnts Tour Series: East Passyunk

Experience the soul of South Philadelphia on a journey through East Passyunk, where every corner tells a story and every guest finds a seat at the table. On this immersive tour experience, you’ll wander from the melodic community hub of the Singing Fountain to the neon-lit crossroads of the world-famous Pat’s and Geno’s cheesesteak rivalry. Led by local hosts and insider perspectives from a neighborhood leader, the route blends modern creativity at Electric Street with the deep-rooted history of the Moyamensing Pr*son site and the transformed BOK building. No matter how you pronounce the name, everyone is invited to eat and explore.
