What Is Manayunk?

Manayunk is a unique shopping, dining, and service destination with over 50 Chic boutiques and 30 restaurants and eateries. The town also has over 20 furniture and home furnishings stores, which is the largest concentration of furniture stores on one street in the entire East Coast.

Named a National Historic District in 1983, Manayunk is located just minutes west of Center City Philadelphia, nestled along the banks of the Schuylkill  River and the historic Manayunk  Canal.  Strolling the street is like being whisked away to a European city. Visitors to Manayunk will feel welcome and encounter an honesty and pride of service that makes shopping and dining a special experience.

Come visit Manayunk and get the ultimate urban experience with small town historic charm!
