MANAYUNK

Are you a resident of Manayunk?

I just moved in! I'm originally from San Francisco.

What brings you here?

I actually bought a house so affordable real estate and I just closed on the house up the street on Friday. Part of what brought us here was the main street and being able to walk up and down it which is really great.

Congratulations! Have you found a favorite spot to eat?

Well I live right by Pilgrim Roasters so I stop in there every morning!

Have you found a favorite spot yet or any hidden gems here?

I haven't done a lot of exploring! I've been to the juice merchant a few times, the coffee shop of course...I ate at the Cactus Cantina restaurant the other day, which was really tasty! Honestly also just walking down the canal on the towpath is really nice.

Can you describe Manayunk in 3 words?

Cute, cozy, and easy

What do you love most about Manayunk?

I was really looking to find a neighborhood that felt cozy and safe and that I could walk around in and yeah it was affordable!

When my husband and I were looking at moving into the area, it seemed like whoever is putting on the neighborhood events is doing a really wonderful job:) (thank you!)
