Where do the wealthy elite live in the Philadelphia area? -

Inside the city, Chestnut Hill is about the only really wealthy neighborhood left. Although parts of east Falls (where Grace Kelly came from) may still be pretty rich by Philadelphia standards. Lots of the other wealthy neighborhoods like Overbrook have gone to seed. In the immediate suburbs, the Main Line (the area that follows the old Pennsylvania RailRoad route out from Philadelphia to harrisburg), which includes parts of Montgomery, Delaware and Chester Counties. It is where the old Money blue bloods lived and it is still extremely wealthy. There are a few ultra elite neighborhoods in the Gwynedd Valley area of Montgomery County. There are some wealthy suburbs on the New Jersey side of the Delaware river in Camden County, like Cherry Hill. And of Course there are elite seashore resorts with multi million Dollar mansions in Cape May, Atlantic and Ocean Counties. Philadelphia s rich folks have NOTHING to do with New York s rich folks, or the northern New Jersey suburbs of New York.

Many live along the Main Line, the towns along the old main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad. They extend pretty much along modern day Lancaster Ave from Paoli to the Philly city line.Also, in the area along the Pennsylvania-Delaware state line between Kennett Square and Route 202. This is where most of the Dupont family lives.EDIT: Steve, you need to reread the question it says the Philadelphia area not just Philadelphia.

Seems like most here dont know Philly, she asked where IN PHILLY do the wealthy live..so the burbs dont count ,NJ and NY dont count...So, the answer is Chesnuthill, Queen Village. Soceity Hill, Rittenhouse Square, The Art Museum area Fitler Square and The Graduate hosp area..all are loaded with million dollar mansions and townhouses...

The Main Line and a lot of them have property in the city and neighboring shore lines

The Main Line

It s not just in the philadelphia area. I m from NJ and grew up in a town that was mostly known for it s celebrity residents such as Al Roker, Bon Jovi and various members of the Bon jovi group, Bruce Springstein, Queen Latifah, members of the Sopranos cast, etc.Unfortunately the most famous resident where I live now is Elizabeth Smart and that s only because she was kidnapped by psychos.As for why Philadelphia specifically? Who knows.. maybe because it s close to NY without actually being IN new york city.

Where is a nice place to just sit and watch the ocean in San Diego? -

Where is the best place to sit near the ocean in San Diego and just relax by the ocean?

Hi Kim-Get a paper cup and go to the dog park in Ocean Beach. Paper cup filled with the beverage of your choice. The dogs run free. Your thoughts run free. If you relax then you run free.It s simply a nice place. It;s good for the blood pressure/

if you want to sit in your car and watch the ocean or the sunset, a nice place is Torrey Pines State Beach. You can park free right along the coast highway and enjoy the view. If the weather is nice, which is usually in in San Diego, you can sit on the beach and enjoy the view. Directions: From I 5 go ~1.5 miles west on Carmel Valley Road, turn left on North Torrey Pines Road (Coast Highway 101) and look for free parking on the west side of the road.

With 70 miles of coastline, you ll find lots of fabulous places to sit and watch the ocean. My favorites? Sunset Beach, La Jolla Cove, and Del Mar Beach.Take a look at this guide to San Diego beaches for pictures and directions:http://www.sandiego-romantics.com/romant��

La Jolla Cove and Ellen Browning Scripps Park for the beautyhttp://www.a-zsandiegobeaches.com/lajoll��http://www.sandiego.gov/park-and-recreat��Windansea Beach for the surfers and tide poolshttp://www.a-zsandiegobeaches.com/windan��

On the pier in Coronado Beach, its one of the top beaches in the United States.

A hotel on the beach

How much money do you need for two days in New York? -

Hi! This will be my first time visiting New York City and I want to make the most of it. I m 18 so Im not sure how old you have to be to check in at a hotel. I want to know how much I should bring, what are some cool things I could do that wont cost a bundle or even better free. Any suggestions on shops and which type of air fair is cheapest. Please let me know every thing and anything that would be help full. So yeah, I plan to be there for two days and want to experience as much as possible. Thanks :)

OK Let s start with #1 You are most def old enough to book a hotel (providing you have a Credit Card with your name on it of course) Go onto Expedia or a site like that and you will be able to sort through a variety of hotels by price and star rating. This time of year will be very costly so I would wait.Walking around the city is fun and FREE and then from there you can decide what to do. The touristy things are good to do once ie Empire state, Ferry to Liberty Island and all are relatively inexpensive.Eating out will cost you $$$ if you want a decent meal and not from a street vendor. But my suggestion is for two days - Enjoy it - bring about $500-800 in spending cash and you should be just fine.I went when I was about your age and it was amazing! Hope this helps.

You have a lot of questions. Instead of relying on a few sentences here, go to the library or bookstore and get a good guidebook to NYC. It will give you many options and lots of detailed information on how to get there, where to stay, where to eat, what to see, etc. One online guidebook is here: http://www.frommers.com/destinations/new�� but it s best to have one you can take with you on your trip.Hotels in NYC often start around $200 to $300. Food can be anywhere from $10 to $500 a day. There are thousands and thousands of shops.

very expensive, i know that
