Love good art, good drinks and good food? Then look no further: Street has the perfect Friday plan for you. Though you probably know the Philadelphia Museum of Art as one of the biggest powerhouses of culture and fine arts in the nation, it's also one of the most under–appreciated and coolest performing arts venues in the City of Brotherly Love.

The last book fair you probably went to was the junior scholastic pop–up at your elementary school's local, pastel–colored, bean bag filled library. And, let's be honest. You probably were looking less at the books and more at all the cool stuff they sold in their catalogues; who wants books when you can get a 10–color ballpoint pen instead?

It strikes when you least expect it—the overwhelming desire to bite into a juicy burger, layered with cheese and tomato and lettuce, between two perfectly toasted buns. When this happens, Street has already taste-tested a solid option for you to go indulge and give in to your chock full of carbohydrate cravings.

Tucked away amongst rows of houses in a residential area of Germantown is The Colored Girls Museum. Walk through
the front door to find a living
room filled top to bottom with
things, things and more things:
oil paintings and posters, vases
and wooden statues on tables
of all sizes, chairs of all colors,
lace doilies on cupboards. The
bedrooms are filled with old photographs, clocks that work,
clocks that don't and bed
sheets. You'll wonder: Have I ever been in a museum like
this? No, you haven't.

Last Thursday, Uzodinma Iweala, both a doctor and a writer, came to the Kelly Writers House to speak with Penn students interested in his work. The accomplished writer shared his experiences about writing his popular novels (Beast of No Nation, 2005 and Our Kind of People: Thoughts on HIV/AIDS in Nigeria, 2012) and his life experiences—as a doctor, as a human and as a Nigerian–American writer.

and Wig Club’s annual production? Street had the
opportunity to talk to Mask and Wig section heads to
shed light on the magic that goes on every spring at
310 S. Quincey Street.

If you were an airport employee, would you rather lift bags, check in passengers, and monitor airport security, or tarmac tap–dance, rewrite West Side Story, and drink in the confines of exclusivity? If you were a passenger, would you rather remain delayed in the (presumably) Canadian wilderness, or revolt against the tyrannical systems of airport bureaucracy in fast food aesthetic chic? These are the questions that propel (get ready for the puns to come) the annual spring production of The Mask and Wig Club.

Stacy and Robert are in love. She’s a sophomore in the College studying English; her boyfriend, Robert, studies at a nearby liberal arts college. They write poetry together, compose music together and they thrift shop around Philly together.

Need to spice up your Tinder/Bumble/insert up–and–coming new dating app you're using? Street has you covered. Through dating apps, people try to convey who they are (Ed. note: Or who they want to be so you swipe right.) Similarly, through short informative blurbs, museum curators try to explain the art exhibited. To quote that annoying kid from your modern poetry course, "Art is life, and life is art." So this week, Street had one crazy idea: Why not find art descriptions that work as dating profile descriptions?

We selected a few awesome events happening in and around Philadelphia in the coming week. Get cultured with Street.

We're all for tradition, but some times you just have to cut the nostalgia and leave the past behind. Not sure whether your go–to fashion statements from 2k15 should transfer into your new year, new you wardrobe? Here's a cheat sheet for which items you should ditch alongside that fuckboy you were "dating" last year.

We recreated some of the most iconic, period pieces. It's like your yearbook portrait if it were to stand the test of time: equally awkward and even more staged.

You’ve probably heard of the Penn Museum by now (Ed. note: concerned if you haven’t), but the museum is more than just the venue for the NSO toga party. It is home to one of the most incredible collections of ancient art in the country, and it is free with a valid student ID. However, in addition to expansive collection of ancient artifacts, the Museum offers some interactive elements as well. As part of an exhibition called The Artifact Lab, visitors can meet and chat with Molly Gleeson, the project conservationist, or any of the other curators and conservators who are responsible for preserving the museum’s artwork.

At this point, you might be wondering what exactly is the Rosenbach—and why we’re telling you to go touch all of the artifacts in it. And the answer, dear reader, is simple.

Circa 2008, I was a pale and gangly tween who loved her qwerty keyboard cellphone and Rihanna’s Disturbia probably more than life itself. During that golden era existed three absolute truths that could not be disputed: 1) School dances were always awkward, 2) sparkly fruity lip gloss definitely counted as makeup, and 3) halloween meant only one thing: a sleepover with my friends filled with nutella and horror movie binging.

Peter has also received a variety of awards and fellowships for his creative writing and recently published his first anthology, Poets on Growth (Math Paper Press), as well as his first chapbook, Hook (Sibling Rivalry Press). Here are his thoughts on poetry, basketball and everything in–between.

With its enchanting aesthetic, fresh farm–to–table meals and unbeatable cocktails, Talula’s Garden is kind of like that kid in your hall who had a 4.0 GPA, runs five clubs and has a social life… except you don’t hate Talula’s Garden. The art–deco building that once housed the nation’s oldest advertising firm now has a coffee bar, a grab–and–go and prepared foods menu, as well as a full kitchen and dining experience. Overlooking Washington Square, the always–changing menu, beautiful garden, local cheese boards and Sunday Brunch will keep you coming back for more.
