Ribbon Cutting @ HACE

What’s the first thing you do when visiting Philadelphia? Well, your first stop should be the Independence Visitor Center; from there you can grab information about what to do day and night in Philadelphia. Well now you can do the same in El Centro de Oro.

Last month, the Hispanic Association of Contractors and Enterprises conducted a ribbon cutting ceremony to mark the completion of its new Business and Visitors Center, located at 2708 N. 5th Street. The center will provide visitors with information about cultural activities, events and businesses in the vibrant neighborhood and also houses an art gallery featuring the work of local artists.

As you stop to visit the center, be sure to visit the other cultural attractions in the area. El Centro De Oro is home to several international non-profit organizations, many third and fourth generation family-owned businesses and residents descending from almost every Latino country across the globe.

Visitors to this lively enclave—just a short cab ride from Center City Philadelphia—can feast on authentic Latin/Caribbean dishes at Isla Verde, get inspired by the work of Puerto Rican artists at Taller Puertorriqueño or feel their way through a flamenco dance lesson at Raíces Culturales Latinoamericanas.
