A short walk away is Fishtown. Right now it's a hotspot for nightlife, good food, and great cocktails. The Main Street is Frankford Ave. Walking along that during the day you'll find shopping and coffee with great spots to grab a day drink. At night it comes to life and is home to a few music venues well known.
