We were lucky enough to receive TWO maps of Manayunk from readers, both of which confirmed something we’d always even suspected: Even people who live there have had enough of the douchebag bars that have all but totally claimed Manayunk’s identity from itself. But look, there is good and fun stuff, too! Alex’s Pizza! (God, we’d kill for one of those right now.) That whole row of Furniture You Can’t Afford stores! And that place “where my car gets hit by drunk drivers every weekend!” Thanks to readers Stephanie Palmer (top) and SugarSocial (below) for sending their maps in. Now, you!
Anybody else want to join in the fun? Send us your hand-drawn neighborhood maps to tips[at]philebrity[dot]com and we will totally run them. And check out more neighborhood maps here on Philebrity.

These maps hit it right on the head. The only bars not packed with the “drunk, guido, recent Saint Joe’s grad desperately hanging on to their college days” types are for native yunkers, and said natives will make it very clear that you are not one of them.
Affordable housing and good food though. When I lived there most of my dining/drinking took place during daylight, before all the bars put up the signs advertising their RBV specials for the night.

I tend to find Philebrity a fairly ahead of the curve for certain things, so can we please find a replacement for the word “douche”. I find it so incredibly difficult to find a definition for what it is anymore, and I know that we are intelligent enough to express ourselves better than this.
That being said, the bars in Manayunk are incredibly annoying (as are most bars to be quite honest) and I mostly go to East End solely because aging alcoholics are less depressing than those in their formative drinking years.

perhaps we should coin a new term for college-aged-millerlite-drinking-meathead-wearing-buttondowns-and-dress-shoes-at-the-bar to use solely on philebrity since everyone hates the term ‘douchebag’ so much.

Mega dittos on the word “douche.”
