Philadelphia
This small square named after Edwin Fitler, a well-regarded 19th-century mayor of Philadelphia, is a quiet focal point for the residential area south of Rittenhouse Sq. There's a trio of cute animal bronzes on the square – a ram, a grizzly bear and a group of tortoises.
A farmers' market is held here from 10am to 2pm on Saturday and there are other events throughout the year.
