Inside

All Aboard!
In October 2016, the Center City District broke ground on Phase 1 of The Rail Park. Stretching from Broad Street at Noble to Callowhill between 11th and 12th Streets, this historic quarter mile will soon become Philadelphia's newest elevated public park, with a distinctive design that celebrates the city's industrial past and cultural heritage. Head to the Trestle Inn on the first Wednesday of every month, 5-8pm, for the Build the Rail Park Happy Hour, to help raise funds to close a $700,000 funding gap for Phase 1. Twenty percent of all sales from each monthly event will go directly to support construction. The January 4 event features: Happy Hour Specials & Snacks and a $7 Ryed The Rails Cocktail. So grab some friends and get on board! This event is free, but kindly register at RailParkHH.com
