Two local bars have a 'Gay Night' apparently. The predominantly LGBT Metropolitan Community Church meets at a Lutheran Church near 37th and Chestnut Street. First, there is the LGBT Student Center at Penn - 'The Carriage House' - near 39th and Spruce, however if you're not connected with the University Of Pennsylvania it will be of no help to you. So I've been doing a little research and this is what I've come up with: there exists a few things in University City. On top of that, all those places that cater to the LGBT crowd and their friends and allies are concentrated in a few block area that is locally known as 'The Gayborhood' (officially Washington Square West, or 'Midtown Village'). For a very big city - almost 1.6 million people in the city and 5 million in the metro area - Philadelphia seems to have a rather modest 'Gay Scene' of bars, clubs, restaurants, social groups, etc.
