    Single for Valentine’s Day? Have no Fear: 14th Street is Here to Make Your Valentine’s Day a Little Sweeter

    February 14, 2017 /

    Valentine’s day is both the best day to own a chocolate shop and the worst day to be single, especially if you’re broke. Anyone who has been single for their fair share of Valentine’s Days is familiar with the sinking realization that your night to be spent watching Netflix, eating some candy and not texting your ex – really, don’t do it. First of all, this is a perfectly dignified way to spend any day, especially Valentine’s Day. But with a little planning, your Alone-entine’s Day (we went there) could be a little – or a lot –  sweeter. Hershey’s chocolate bars are classic and delicious, but all too often…

    Paint the Revolution: A Chilling Retrospective on Conflict and Destruction

    November 30, 2016 /

    Visitors to the Paint the Revolution exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art yearn for a fortunate opportunity to see, firsthand, famous pieces by painter-turned-pop-culture-icon Frida Kahlo or one of Diego Rivera’s renowned large-scale works. The front of the museum itself had been temporarily adorned with a self-portrait of Kahlo. The long-anticipated exhibition opened Oct. 25 and begins with works from Mexican artists in the 1910s. It’s an era of political upheaval in Mexico. Leaders sought the cultural unification of their countrymen and one way they tried to achieve it was through public art. Artists like Francisco Goitia, José Clemente Orozco and Rivera painted adoring landscapes of Mexico as well…

    Open Space Venue Welcomes Philly Rappers

    October 11, 2016 /

    Philadelphia refuses to stop having new wonders and hidden gems. Almost anywhere you look you can find something different, something exciting. Most recently I found it in the back of a graffiti-clothed alley off Girard Street called Open Space. Walk in the back door at 1014 N Marshall St. and the venue opens to a stark contrast of the city that surrounds it: aptly named, the venue is white space. Simple. Modern. Clean. It serves as a blank canvas for whichever event it’s hosting; one standout was a concert celebrating Philly’s budding rap scene Sept. 29. That night, the clean space was decorated carefully by the event’s sponsors: Jack Daniels,…

    Top 5 Food Trucks from Philly’s Fall StrEAT Festival

    October 4, 2016 /

    A precursor to Restaurant Week, the Fall StrEAT Festival Sept. 18 drew quite a crowd of Philly foodies to Manayunk’s Main Street; those who couldn’t snag a table sat on the curb were with sushi burritos and pizza cones in hand. There were vendors, a farm stand, live music, even street magicians, but it was the lineup of over 50 acclaimed food trucks that stole the show. If you didn’t get a chance to sample some of the best mobile meals that Philly has to offer, look no further: profiled below are five standouts from the festival, parked on a street corner near you.

    South Philly Barbacoa is Hidden Taqueria Treasure

    October 3, 2016 /

    Hidden behind a muraled exterior on 11th Street in South Philly is an unassuming taqueria, simply called “South Philly Barbacoa.” This restaurant, formerly a food truck, serves only two kinds of tacos. And they are perfection. The term “barbacoa” is where the U.S. term “Barbecue” comes from referring to slow cooked meats, often entire sheep or pigs, over an open fire. South Philly Barbacoa sticks with this tradition: their lamb tacos include the entire lamb and guests can request what piece of meat they want in their tacos (every piece is delicious, but the belly and face are generally the first to go). The barbacoa opens its doors at 5…

    The “Bang-Bang:” Reading Terminal Trip Like no Other

    September 23, 2016 /

    If you have ever spent time watching Louis C.K.’s sitcom, Louis, one of the lasting ideas from the show is the legendary “bang-bang.” If you enjoy eating – and eating a lot, I might add – this is also a perfect experience for you. Essentially, it’s when someone eats out at a restaurant and after a full meal is finished, he or she leaves and goes into a completely different kind of restaurant. Reading Terminal Market seems like it was made specifically for this idea. Being a foodie and Louis fan myself, I decided to try it. I have spent a lot of time in Reading Terminal; I always like…

    Illuminating Night at Mann Center

    September 20, 2016 /

    Fans congregated to the Mann Center Sept. 9 to watch The Lumineers perform, as well as opening acts Rayland Baxter and Børns. The venue was packed with people. The sold out concert filled the seats, balcony, and lawn with adoring fans. “This is the most crowded I’ve ever seen the Mann,” said concert-goer Mike Innocenti. Upon entering the venue, concert-goers were handed baseball cards with drawings portraying members of The Lumineers posing with a baseball bat in Citizens Bank Park. The back of the card had information about The Lumineers and the opening acts, as well as the date of the concert. The stage was decorated with bright lights and…

    LOVE lost: Interactive art show pays tribute to Philly’s skating community

    May 22, 2016 /

    Written and Photos by: Brianna Baker The first time I stopped by Philly Radness, the skateboarding-inspired exhibition at Drexel’s Leonard Pearlstein Gallery, it was silent. Colorful, geometric projections framed an empty space. TV monitors played film reel without audio. There was no clack of wheels against floor, no grunts as skaters tumbled off boards. Knowing that the installation was built for interactivity made this vacancy feel desolate, even eerie. Philly Radness is a mixed media show in two parts: the first is a pop-up indoor skatepark in the back of the gallery. Created by multimedia artist Eric Cade Schoenborn and professional skateboarder Ed Solego, the installation features trippy digital projections…
