It’s officially fall in @oldcityphilly. The air feels a little crisper, the tones a little warmer, and the season invites us to slow down and settle into the beauty of it all. 🍂

Spend a day with us walking through America’s most historic square mile.

This isn’t the history tour. That one’s coming, and it deserves its own full Reel. This is what living in Old City actually looks like: coffee, groceries, a few favorite shops, and a landmark or two on the way.

Here’s where we went:
· @oldcitycoffee, roasting tiny batches since 1985
· @riverwardsproduce, inside a restored 1900s warehouse
· @cityfitnessofficial 
· @anathornecreative, now with her own storefront on Third Street
· Artist & Craftsman Supply
· The 18th Century Garden by Carpenters’ Hall
· The Bicentennial Bell, a gift from Queen Elizabeth II
· @omoionline
· The First Bank of the United States, newly reopened
· The Book Trader
· @afourfootprune 
· Washington Square Park

Thinking about living here? DM us OLD CITY for what’s on the market.

@positanocoastphilly for brunch on a Sunday? Sign me up. My friends and I spent a slow, rainy afternoon sharing some brunch boards (burrata & prosciutto and a ricotta board), entrees, cocktails, and some bubbly before a matinee nearby at Arden Theatre. 

The Trust the Process cocktail is a must, along with some shrimp cocktail, and I loved the chicken and broccoli quiche. Don’t skip some sea salt caramel French toast for dessert! 

Thanks so much for having us! taken in Positano Coast by Aldo Lamberti by @oldcityphilly

@tiffozifutbol , a vintage soccer jersey retailer, will host a three-day pop-up in @oldcityphilly from October 16 through 18 at 119 N. 3rd Street. The shop will be open Friday from noon to 7 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m.

The brand is known for curating rare and hard-to-find soccer apparel and has become a draw for collectors, soccer fans and streetwear enthusiasts looking for iconic kits and retro football culture.

The pop-up will feature:

Rare vintage soccer jerseys
Retro football apparel
Specialty soccer merchandise
Collectible shirts from clubs and national teams around the world.

Attendees will also have a chance to enter a giveaway for $200 in store credit during the weekend. All you have to do is follow @tiffozifutbol , share this post to stories, and tag 2 friends in the comments.

Tiffozi Futbol was founded in 2019 after its founder struggled to find a vintage-inspired Diego Maradona “Hand of God” shirt and decided to make one personally. What began as custom soccer-inspired apparel grew into a marketplace specializing in rare vintage jerseys and football memorabilia.

The name “Tiffozi” draws on Italian football culture and the founder’s upbringing in Uruguay, where Serie A matches were a major part of everyday life in the 1990s. In Italian, “tifosi” refers to devoted fans or supporters.

The pop-up marks a return to the city for the brand, whose previous Philly appearance left a strong impression on the team. “We honestly loved everything about the city — the people, the vibes, the food, and especially the soccer culture there,” the founder said. “It was truly an amazing experience all around, so we said we definitely had to come back.” Organizers say demand has continued to grow following Philadelphia’s World Cup summer. taken in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by @oldcityphilly
