AVENUE OF THE ARTS – In Philadelphia, this is a section of Broad Street that includes many of the city’s cultural institutions, most notably The Academy of Music, The Kimmel Center, and The Merriam and Wilma theatres, which are located in the theater and museum districts just south of City Hall. (This area is called Avenue of the Arts South.)

The Avenue of The Arts begins north of Temple University at Broad Street and Gleenwood Avenue. It runs south along Broad Street to Washington Avenue. The University of the Arts campus is situated within the theater district along Broad Street, interspersed among the many restaurants and theatres. Widely regarded as one of the most affluent sections of the city, the Avenue of The Arts is perhaps second only to Rittenhouse Square.

‘The Avenue’ is also highly accessible via public transportation provided by SEPTA. This includes the Broad Street Line, Regional Rail Service, several bus stops, Suburban Station, and Market East Station, and nearby stops of the PATCO Speedline.
