DIRECTIONS TO REMBRANDT'S
Located in the shadow of the Eastern
State Penitentiary Historic Site on the corner of 23rd & Aspen Streets in
the Art Museum Section of Philadelphia. Aspen Street is one block north of
Fairmount Avenue. Inexpensive parking is available in the lot across the
street from Rembrandt's. The parking lot entrance is on Fairmount Avenue.
If you decide to park on the street please read this
note first.
(Note Bene:
If you still have trouble finding Rembrandt's after reading these directions,
the best information I can give you is to simply find 22nd street and come north
to Fairmount Avenue, stay to the left at the corner of 22nd and Fairmount, and
you will see us across the parking lot.)

** Otherwise
continue up 22nd street to the first row of houses. This is Aspen street. Make a
