Coffee. Tea. Espresso. The city of Philadelphia has a vast variety of coffee shops to choose from. So where do you go to get your morning or afternoon pick me up? I always find myself making my way down to Benna’s or B2. Not just for the coffee, tea,...

For years I have dreaded New Years day. Speaking from a bartenders perspective, New Years day has always been amateur hour. Dealing with mass amounts of intoxicated people has really skewed my view on what New Years day, and what the Mummers is about. But 2011 has opened my...

So when Conrad contacted me about leaving Philthy… I thought WTF?!? NOOOOOOOO…I literally spent the whole day thinking about what would become of Philthy Blog once our main contributor decided to part ways… I thought about canning the blog completely… then it came to me… Why not add more...

Hey y’all, Well, the time has come my friends. After nearly three years (I know right, how has it been that long?), I’ve decided to leave Philthy Blog. It’s been fun y’all. And if you’ve been reading all along the way, then we’ve shared quite a bit, haven’t we?...

But it wouldn't be a true Philadelphia sports victory if other people in other places weren't suffering in some public, humiliating fashion (other than the Giants I mean; you can assume if Philly succeeds in any way, New York crumbles a mite)....

Every once in a while, a piece of art comes into your life that completely defines you. I was lucky enough to find at least four this year. Instead of boring you all with another top ten list, I decided to recap 2010 through a list of my favorite albums...

This GIGANTIC water main break, which blocked off 13th street between Market and Chestnut streets and which made it impossible to cross to Market between 12th to 13th (unless you had on galoshes,) had me nearly late for work this morning. I snapped these photos though on my detour… ‘Tis...

I’m sure by now you have all heard about the recent uproar over a decision to re-name the “Christmas Village” shopping bazaar, sprawled out in Dilworth plaza in front of City Hall, a more inclusively titled “Holiday Village.” I’m sure you’ve also heard that due to an over-whelming backlash,...

Saw this getting built for a some time now, but it looks like this fancy new restaurant right outside of the Piazza in Northern Liberties (which probably has a fancy name that I could easily Google, but as I will probably never go there, I don’t really care to...

Hopefully none of you left your bike locked up anywhere around the Bellevue last night; these signs were posted on a bunch of bike locking areas all around Broad and Walnut streets. The bikes were all removed for the shooting of the Jason Statham movie, “Safe,” which has been...

So I guess they’re shooting some movie called, “Safe,” in and around Center City these days. And while it’s certainly not uncommon for movies to shoot here and play it off as NYC, it’s still a bit weird to see. TTLY, Conrad...

“Light Drift” was amazing y’all, and it’s only up through Sunday night, so I hope you can get a chance to see it. More amazing though? THIS regular (and most likely drunk) Philadelphian’s reaction/explanation of why the lights are in the water. SO FUNNY, yet kind of sad, it’s...

(h/t Philebrity) “Light Drift,” as the project is being called, is the genius of J.

Unfortunately though, the installation is for this weekend...

Walking home from work this afternoon, through the barren streets of Philadelphia–seriously though people it’s not winter yet go outside while you still can!–I couldn’t help but see these two people chasing after each other. One dressed as a banana, and the other as an ape… Weird, no? Then...
