Staten Island Car Hire and Philadelphia Nightlife

It used to be if you were out after dark in Philly, it was because you were up to no good. Luckily, this stereotype has changed, thanks to the city's revitalized nightlife scene. Now, there's always something going on, whether it is a live concert in Old City, or a hot DJ in the Northern Liberties. Philly comes to life when the sunsets, especially along the Avenue of the Arts. From clubs and dancehalls to theatre and concerts, the night is always young in the City of Brotherly Love.

A look at what's happening when

Staten Island car hire travelers can view a complete listing of upcoming events on the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance website, Philly Fun Guide, www.phillyfunguidecom.

There performing arts are becoming more and more popular in Philadelphia, so don't miss your chance to catch a show while in town. Top venues include the Annenberg Center and Wilma Theatre. The city also hosts two major film festivals annual, and is home to a number of distinguished dance troupes.

The party doesn't end 'til we say so

For those who like to kick it after sunset, Philadelphia offers plenty of great dance clubs that invoke scenes straight from MTV reality TV shows. Plus, who could forget the local pubs, subdued martini lounges and ultra-cool jazz lounges? These and other licensed public venues stay open until 2am; private clubs are permitted to serve until 3am. The minimum legal drinking age in Pennsylvania is 21. Many of the clubs have dress codes, however, Staten Island car hire travelers can expect more leniency here than at most NYC bars. Music fans will find plenty of reason to cheer in Philly, thanks to two outstanding concert venues - Wachovia Center and the Spectrum. Staten Island car hire travelers will find both in South Philly.
