Northern Liberties

Northern Liberties is a unique neighborhood located just north of downtown Philadelphia. Built in 1791, the first suburb of Philadelphia is now an eclectic and artsy mix of modern and historical design. As editors of Northern Liberties Review, we hope to bring the same distinctive and diverse feel to our contributors and readers.
