City of Philadelphia
Philadelphia is the largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the second largest city on the East Coast of the United States, and the fifth-most-populous city in the United States. It is located in the Northeastern United States along the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers, and it is the only consolidated city-county in Pennsylvania. As of the 2010 Census, the city had a population of 1,526,006. Philadelphia is the economic and cultural center of the Delaware Valley, home to 6 million people and the country's fifth-largest metropolitan area. The Philadelphia metropolitan division consists of five counties in Pennsylvania and has a population of 4,008,994. Popular nicknames for Philadelphia are Philly and The City of Brotherly Love.
Puertodelphia: Puerto Ricans in Philadelphia
Puertodelphia provides a brief in-depth glimpse of an often overlooked community in the city of Philadelphia, PA. Puerto Ricans, Boricuas, have an increasingly large presence in many US cities across the country as a result of rapid migration from the island. In fact, in the city of Philadelphia, almost 1 out of every 10 people has Puerto Rican origins. Currently, there are more than 5 million Puerto Ricans in the continental United States and growing, while only 3.4 million reside on the island. Despite Puerto Ricans being US citizens, this all comes as a great surprise to the general American public. Puertodelphia helps change this reality.

The Bourse Food Hall - Philadelphia
Want to try some of the best food in Philadelphia? Look no further! The Bourse Food Hall is the newest food hall in Philadelphia and it is home to international food stands, Philadelphia food classics, and a local bar. We loved this place!
The Bourse Food Hall is new this year and was built in a historic building dating back to 1891. The Bourse is located in Old City, Philadelphia on Independence Mall, which is the most historic block in the entire United States of America.
When we got to the food hall we were overwhelmed with choices, but Ryan quickly found tacos and ate three off camera before we even looked at the other options. haha. You guys know I am the more adventurous eater, so I found a local filipino food stand and tried their version of Lechon! It honestly tasted amazing, but the meat was mostly all fat instead of pork. The owner did say it was pork belly so that is to be expected! Either way, I was impressed to find good Filipino food in Philly.
If you are visiting the city and wondering what to do in Philadelphia, definitely add The Bourse to your list! It's conveniently located next to all of the tourist sites in the city, so after you see the Liberty Bell head across the street and fill your belly.
We hope you guys liked this Philadelphia food tour and we will be sure to take you to another amazing food hall, the Reading Terminal Market, coming up in the next few videos. Until then, we'll see you guys in the next video. Seeya!

Philly Time - Walking around the city centre - USA trip continues
We absolutely loved Philladelphia. The city centre is great as most of the attractions are within walking distance and despite the weather we got to see most of them. We loved the food - had the best Thai ever (unfortunately no footage) and really enjoyed some cocktails. A great experience overall and would LOVE to go back any day!

Philadelphia 4K - Driving Downtown USA
Highlights: 1)City Hall 2)Famous Rocky Movie Steps 3)Liberty Bell & Declaration of Independence at Independence Hall. Day and Time: Tuesday 12 PM.
Philadelphia, often called Philly, is the sixth-most populous city in the U.S. The city is known for its arts, culture, cuisine, and colonial history, attracting 42 million domestic tourists in 2016 who spent US$6.8 billion. Philadelphia is the home of many U.S. firsts, including the first library (1731), hospital (1751), medical school (1765), national capital (1774), stock exchange (1790), zoo (1874), and business school (1881). Philadelphia is the birthplace of the United States Marine Corps. Since 1854, the city has been coterminous with Philadelphia County, the most populous county in Pennsylvania and the urban core of the eighth-largest U.S. metropolitan statistical area, with over 6 million residents as of 2017.
The Philadelphia area's many universities and colleges make it a top study destination, as the city has evolved into an educational and economic hub. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Philadelphia area had a gross domestic product of US$431 billion in 2016, the eighth-largest metropolitan economy in the United States. Philadelphia is the center of economic activity in Pennsylvania and is home to five Fortune 1000 companies. The Philadelphia skyline is expanding, with a market of almost 81,900 commercial properties in 2016, including several nationally prominent skyscrapers. Philadelphia has more outdoor sculptures and murals than any other American city. Fairmount Park, when combined with the adjacent Wissahickon Valley Park in the same watershed, is one of the largest contiguous urban park areas in the United States. Philadelphia has also emerged as a biotechnology hub.
William Penn, an English Quaker, founded the city in 1682 to serve as capital of the Pennsylvania Colony. Philadelphia played an instrumental role in the American Revolution as a meeting place for the Founding Fathers of the United States, who signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776 at the Second Continental Congress, and the Constitution at the Philadelphia Convention of 1787. Philadelphia was one of the nation's capitals during the revolution, and served as temporary U.S. capital while Washington, D.C., was under construction. In the 19th century, Philadelphia became a major industrial center and a railroad hub. The city grew from an influx of European immigrants, most of whom came from Ireland, Italy and Germany—the three largest reported ancestry groups in the city as of 2015. In the early 20th century, Philadelphia became a prime destination for African Americans during the Great Migration after the Civil War, as well as Puerto Ricans. The city's population doubled from one million to two million people between 1890 and 1950.
Philadelphia contains 67 National Historic Landmarks and the World Heritage Site of Independence Hall. The city became a member of the Organization of World Heritage Cities in 2015, as the first World Heritage City in the United States. Although Philadelphia is rapidly undergoing gentrification, the city actively maintains mitigation strategies to minimize displacement of homeowners in gentrifying neighborhoods.
Economy
Philadelphia is the center of economic activity in Pennsylvania with the headquarters of five Fortune 1000 companies located within city limits. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Philadelphia area had a total gross domestic product of $431 billion in 2016, the eighth-largest metropolitan economy in the United States. Philadelphia was rated by the GaWC as a 'Beta' city in its 2016 ranking of world cities. Philadelphia International Airport is undergoing a $900 million infrastructural expansion to increase passenger capacity and augment passenger experience; while the Port of Philadelphia, having experienced the highest percentage growth by tonnage loaded in 2017 among major U.S. seaports, was in the process of doubling its capacity in order to accommodate super-sized post-Panamax shipping vessels in 2018.
Philadelphia's economic sectors include financial services, health care, biotechnology, information technology, manufacturing, oil refining, food processing, and tourism.
