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.

I'm at Ultimo now on 22nd. So mellow. Life in slow motion. Philly is cool
― calstars, Wednesday, 31 December 2014 22:01 (nine years ago) link
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.

Philly is the beeeest!!!! I've never actually done the Mummers parade tho. I'm sure anywhere along Broad Street is fine.

Coming in on the bus on NYE at 3. Plan is to walk from the station to shuylkill River park, chill, then visit a bunch of coffee places concluding at chapter house then kill time in hotel room until 10 then over to fish town to some brewery and then Johnny Brenda's for a sunny day in Glasgow NYE show then mummers parade in the morning and leaving by bus at 3

if you want coffee shop rex, Elixr and Ultimo are both tippy-top, and La Colombe is great too (if you're looking for like nose-in-the-air single origin hand pourover wanky bullshit where the staff is really friendly and the coffee is $5 and tastes incredible)

Also there are few things I love more than answering ppl's Philly recommendation questions so if you have any post them here and indulge me!

Went to Ultimo and Colombe last time I was there, hitting Elixir this time
― calstars, Wednesday, 30 December 2015 14:03 (eight years ago) link
I think as far as 3rd Wave Coffee goes, Elixr is our crown jewel.

Having a very focused weekend visit, hoping the ballgame on Saturday isn't rainy and the Renoir/Renoir show at Barnes is worth it.

Most powerful man in Philly politics (allegedly) did some extremely Philly crimes:- Embezzled money to buy SWEATPANTS & CARGO SHORTS- Embezzled money buy $6 million worth of Eagles/76ers/Phillies/Flyers/etc tickets - Misappropriated union resources so he could run his own bar pic.twitter.com/9L4UnZPCiP— Ryan W Briggs (@rw_briggs) January 30, 2019

Yeah, my mom was literally just telling me about that yesterday. Prompted by a visit (here) to a dumpling house that was to our surprise 100% disposable-products free and 100% paperless, incl. no cash.

Anybody interested in two free tickets to Aniara tonight at the Ritz? I won them in a drawing but didn’t realize it conflicted with one of the last Movie Mondays at the Troc :/
If you’re interested just let me know and I’ll twll you how to redeem it.
