Philly’s Navy Yard is a historic district that was left in disrepair. Over the past several years, there have been major efforts to restore the area and attract visitors. Now, there are more than 150 companies and 20 acres of parks in this waterfront location. The Navy Yard Instagram account will keep you updated on events and new additions to this space. They announce free yoga classes, live music, new art installations, and festivals. Typically, the Navy Yard isn’t a place where people hang out.
