Ninety Minutes from Manhattan: The Divine Guide to Philadelphia
Rittenhouse Square dinners, Society Hill townhouses and the Main Line after dark — served discreetly from our New York and New Jersey market by advance arrangement.
The Proximity
Philadelphia's great advantage is geography. Manhattan is barely ninety minutes up the line, which means the finest company in New York is never far away — and can be requested for a Philadelphia evening with a little notice. Old brick, new money, and a city that keeps its secrets well.
Where to Stay
Rittenhouse Square is the address: a suite overlooking the park, a private entrance, a bar downstairs that knows how to leave you alone. For something more residential, a Society Hill townhouse or a Main Line estate can be arranged for the weekend.
The Table
Philadelphia eats seriously. A chef's counter in Fishtown that books out a month ahead, a Rittenhouse dining room built for long conversation, an Italian institution in South Philly with a table in the back. The concierge secures the reservation; you simply arrive.
After Dark
Old City's hidden cocktail rooms, a jazz set in a converted bank vault, a private box at the orchestra. Philadelphia's nightlife rewards those with the right introductions.
Who to Bring
No Angel is based in Philadelphia — and none is currently touring here. Mirandra Vixen and Victoria Zdrok, both New York, may be requested for Philadelphia by advance arrangement, as may the wider New York / New Jersey roster. Tell us who you would like to see and when; the concierge arranges travel and timing privately, and confirms only what is truly confirmed.
