The spot opens during evening hours on certain days and visitors can drop in without booking ahead. Getting there is easy with public transit and parking available nearby in the neighborhood.
The rooftop location allows visitors to watch the city transform as evening light fades and building lights come on across Philadelphia. This overhead view offers a perspective you simply cannot get from street-level spots.
