The Scout Guide Takes a Stroll Along 3rd Street, Philadelphia

Take a stroll down Philadelphia’s most stylish neighborhood along 3rd street in the Old City District, and you will find the largest selection of beautiful, locally owned boutiques that our city has to offer. It is simply the best shopping experience for both locals and visitors alike to enjoy. Inspiration is around every corner with so many options between couture to designer to vintage, and we always turn to some of the best shop owners our city has to offer for the latest fashion trends right here on 3rd street.

What better way to kick off the lovely month than to spend a day along 3rd street, and we have just the places to visit to assure you have a most exceptional experience. We always stop in Café Ole first to kick off our visit with one of the most amazing cups of coffee this city has to offer.  The staff is always friendly, the Mediterranean food options are out of this world and the feeling of yesteryears when coffee shops had more of a bohemian feel come back alive in this cozy nook, located on 147 N 3rd Street. 

From there we simply hop right next door into the stunning boutique, The Geisha House, a women’s boutique filled with stunning women’s merchandise for the free-spirited girl who is both stylish and independent. Located on 149 N 3rd Street, there is so much variety to choose from, but we adore the dresses in particular that you just can’t find anywhere else.  You will also find amazing transitional pieces in both tops and bottoms, paired with some of the best accessories such as playful necklaces, rings, bracelets and the hats….oh, how we love her hats.  The key to The Geisha House is that whatever you purchase from this magnificent shop, you can wear from morning to evening with complete ease while looking naturally beautiful and glowing with style. When you stop in, look for Cortney or Sam, and you will be in excellent hands. You’ll never want to leave…

Next on our visit is one block down to the sleek and sophisticated ERDON boutique, located on 162 N 3rd Street.  With a strong mix of high-end fashion coming from Europe, Japan and top designers here in America you can’t go wrong with finding that staple piece that will last you for years.  The relaxed gallery-like setting is intentional and also lends itself to a refined shopping experience. Check in with ERDON’s owner, Carly, who will warmly welcome you and fill you in on all the runway ready trends. Jackets and sweaters are in and if you’ve never been to ERDON, you will be enveloped by the most luxurious pieces that will make you look as if you’ve just come back from Paris. When you walk out of ERDON with any of the exquisite pieces that this extraordinary boutique has to offer, there is no doubt that you will feel as if you just made the best investment to your wardrobe.  Trust us, it’s worth the visit and you’ll be going back for more.

Up the street a bit is the enchanting shop, Parisa Rugs & Décor, located on 33 N 3rd street.  We can’t get enough of this boutique rug and design gallery here in Old City.  Always greeted by the divine Parisa Abdollahi herself, she will instantly make you feel at home and you’ll be fascinated by the wide selection of astonishing rugs that we’ve certainly never seen anywhere else. But wait…there is more!  Plush velvet couches, transitional contemporary chairs, and an array of the most precious gift items that you’ll be purchasing for yourself because you simply can’t resist. There is something for everyone in this space and it is always a must on all of our visits.

To round out a day on 3rd street is to also make sure you indulge a little bit by hopping over to Lacquer Lounge for a mani/pedi, located on 38 N 3rd Street.  This is not your average nail salon, it’s not even an above average nail salon. Lacquer Lounge is in a class of its own with being a socially conscious nail and beauty destination with high standards for health and sanitation.  From the moment you walk through the doors you know you are in a lavish yet comfortable setting where you may just have the best nail experience of your life! The passionate staff along with owner, Lisa McElhone, are highly trained and welcome you with open arms to walk you through their thoughtful curation of the healthiest and highest quality products and polishes your nails will ever feel.  It’s the perfect treat at the end of a delightful day on 3rd street.

What makes a shopping experience so rich and authentic is not just the incredible items that a local boutique has to offer, but also the people that work and own these businesses. With each visit to 3rd street, we understand more and more the importance of supporting these remarkable businesses and the charming business owners behind each one.  We assure you, it will be the best shopping experience you could possibly have here in Philadelphia.  So stop into any of these businesses or all of them for a day, pick up one of our guides and tell them that The Scout Guide sent you!
