Philadelphia?

Hah I was in Philly all day today. Thanks for calling me, asshole.

iatee called you an asshole?! why

I didn't call him an asshole but cmon, he was probably being an asshole

kevin bacon's dad was the robert moses of philadelphia????

(I am still temporarily obsessed with the city)

kevin bacon went to my high school

were you friends?

wait e tell me more! What do you love abt Philly so much? I mean, I am totes in <3 w/ it and prefer it over NYC but everyone just thinks I'm fronting when I say that.

lol I don't think I've ever seen a movie with him in it. I get him, kevin costner and kevin spacey confused all the time

haha I probably don't like it more than nyc cause nyc has queens and brooklyn and the only decent transit system in america. also I have only been in philadelphia for a day. also when I was leaving philly at like 8:30 the CVS on market was closed and I couldn't buy a snack, whereas the CVS next to my house is open 24/7. pretty key.

but center city had a super cool vibe at night, loved the narrow streets, really charming. more pleasantly walkable than manhattan cause you don't have (as many) cars going 80 mph or wide avenues.

sorta felt more european and more american than nyc at the same time

there is a certain % chance the girl might pick philly for grad school which would involve me visiting like...a lot. possibly moving. probably not moving.

so this story kind of breaks my heart

philadelphia to children: drop dead.

can't wait to move back to the ol' irredeemable hellhole this summer.

pretty much. depresses me that there's an abundance of private schools in philly, and I'm pretty sure the schools out in districts like neshaminy aren't feeling the burn so much

maybe it's just living poor out in the ritzy burbs but the southeastern pa upper-middle-class fuck you i got mine vibe has never hit me harder than this year.

i have pics I'm not supposed to share but mini Philly fap was great - missed stevieD tho sadface

Can anyone recommend a place to stay a night?

the Alexander Inn, if you don't mind staying in the gayborhood.

Will be in town on New Years doing a coffee crawl and then seeing a sunny day in Glasgow at the boot and saddle

was thinking of a quick January 2-4 visit myself.

So uh where's a good neighborhood to hang out in at night?

What do you like to do?

there's dive bars, fancy belgian beer bars, wine bars, all sorts of bars

weird super trendy bowling alleys

cool dj dancey janws

jawns*

I tried telling someone how we say jawn in philly and she kept on pronouncing as if it were French like 'jeune' or something

it rhymes with "dawn" how is this hard

yo check out dem zhuns over there!

What is a jawn?

I gravitate to coffee shops and bars.

On my list to check out is Omai Zakka.

I've never heard of it. It looks good!

If you're a true coffee diva you MUST go to Ultimo (there's two locations, just pick one). I could recommend you like 20 different bars too depending on location, vibe/atmosphere, type of drinks, etc. Beer? Cocktails? Wine?

Beer

Vibe: not fraternity or sports

MONK'S CAFE. Boom. Done. Other than that there are so many good beer bars that you could just look up a good one wherever you are in the neighborhood but Monk's Cafe is absolutely essential.

There's some great bars in Old City (Eulogy, National Mechanics, etc) but they can be kind of fratty bro-town. Basically though I think that there's going to be a really great beer bar in every single neighborhood you would conceivably go to. I'd just plan your trip and then look up stuff in those areas.

But go to Monk's

lol @ fratty bro-town

Stevie thank you so much!

how long will you be in town?

Until tomorrow

I work today and tomorrow til 5:30p but if you need a drinking buddy I'd be totally down for a pint at some point before idk like 8 or 9

I'm at Ultimo now on 22nd. So mellow. Life in slow motion. Philly is cool

This what we try to tell everyone all the time!! I used to live 2 blocks away from that Ultimo at 20th/Catharine. It ruled.

Except that it ended horribly bcz the guy I was living with was a deeply awful person but hey at least I lived near a cool coffee shop

Thinking of going back for a day of walking and hanging out in April

considering April 10-11 maybe
