OMOI’s Recommended Short Trips Guide

Updated for June 2024. Made with travelers new to Philadelphia and seasoned visitors in mind, our Recommended Short Trips guide outlines a few of our favorite neighborhoods that are within walking distance from our shop, with places to eat, people watch, and shop. We include transit routes as well as places to explore further afield. ⁠The guide also includes our popular Chinatown Supplement. We designed it to fit in—what else—a TRAVELER’S notebook—and included a handy little map along with a space for note taking. ⁠ ⁠Free with online purchase. We reserve the right to limit 1 per customer. Visitors to our shop will find it near our TRAVELER’S COMPANY corner in the store. Goes great with the rest of our OMOI ephemera and a fresh press of our TRAVELER’S COMPANY shop stamp. About the Chinatown Supplement Chinatown is a bustling downtown neighborhood that we love to visit, and the Supplement features our favorites of Chinatown in all its vibrant, delicious, and lively splendor. Inside this supplement you’ll find our top picks in the area for:  Bakeries / Desserts Small Eats / Street Food Restaurants Places to Shop …and much more! Be advised that this list, sourced from our staff, originally had dozens of picks that we had to significantly cull through for space. Chinatown is a magical place with something for everyone’s tastes and interests—we suggest using this guide as a starting point and wandering around the area, exploring the places that call out to you.  Currently, developers are vying to build a basketball stadium in its midst, claiming the development will improve an area in decline while also having no discernable impact on Chinatown itself. Concerned Philadelphians who live, work, and know some of the best nights out happen in Chinatown, recognize these claims as dismissals of valid concerns.
