As the smell of butter faintly fills the air and funky tunes bump through the speakers, I know I’m in the right place. That right place is HUDA, a fast casual sandwich shop nestled on the corner of 18th and Ranstead Streets that opened in August of 2020. HUDA, unlike other joints in the city, isn’t serving up just any sandwich—these sammies are assembled with homemade milk buns. Crispy and buttered on their underside with sweetness in each bite, potato rolls or hamburger buns seem pedestrian in comparison.

Sally’s sophistication is wholly apparent, even on a Sunday at 5 o’clock. Sleek yet casual, it brings something new to the food scene of restaurants peppered throughout Rittenhouse and Fitler Square’s residential enclaves. And yes, even though the usage of "it" has established the fact that we’re not discussing a person, Sally seems like a local even though she’s been around for less than a year.

Faith Mamaradlo (C '21) starts our conversation off by emphasizing that at heart, she’s just a Philly girl who loves her houseplants—describing herself as “lowkey” while expressing disbelief in being featured as part of this year's Penn 10 for her many accomplishments.

In early March 2020, Samantha Bateman finally opened the doors of The Merrygold Shop to the public after months of preparation. Two days later, all nonessential businesses in Philadelphia were ordered to close for two weeks, which then turned into months.

There is something so incredibly attractive about exclusivity. Even for the nice people who care about inclusion and openness, nothing matches the sexiness of being part of a club that’s hard to get into. It’s why people apply to Ivy League schools, join sororities and fraternities, or beg for Raya friend passes. It doesn’t matter what kind of person you are, no one can resist the allure of being at least a little inaccessible.

I spent Saturday morning hungover and failing at getting work done. I involuntarily woke up at seven and couldn’t get back to sleep after a late night of festivities with my roommates. We took shots, danced, and talked—all in hopes of dulling the anxieties we all felt about the soon–to–be–announced outcome of the election.

When beginning to plan for this semester’s Dining Guide, never did I think it would be like this. Cliché, I know; but I really was envisioning timid freshmen with their first work–study jobs passing copies out on Locust Walk, scarfing down the hastily–assembled plate of takeout I’d be eating in the windowless Stroffice (ed. note: Street, office, get it?) on the night of publication, and enjoying the free dinner I’d be reviewing at a really nice restaurant.

The first thing you notice about Catherine de Luna (C‘20) is her warm, inviting smile. It’s pretty difficult to exude anything but awkwardness on a Zoom call with someone you’ve never met, but somehow it doesn’t even faze her. It's immediately clear she’s the kind of person you want to be friends with: funny, nice, outspoken, thoughtful, and honest—she doesn’t mince words when it comes to describing what she believes, and she is incredibly passionate about everything she does.

I used to think I didn’t know anything about love.

Another Israeli fast casual restaurant from the people behind Goldie and Dizengoff? Yep. Did I stalk its opening by lurking around 13th and Samson to see if they were letting people in or not? There was no other option.

Every night, I fall into a deep slumber after some seemingly endless scrolling through bite–sized videos. Mariah Carey’s “Obsessed” runs on a hamster wheel in my mind after my phone screen shows a loop of videos of random people dancing to it. At this point I can recite some very important rules: “Rule number one if it’s about me, @ me so I can see it. Rule number two if you heard shit that ain’t come from me then don’t believe it." This is the world of TikTok. Rules, songs, jokes, and pranks—all of which are chaotic, unapologetic, crazy, and captivating.

While Philadelphia isn’t automatically associated with French culture, a booming culinary scene full of francophone favorites has long been the norm. From classic French bistros and crêperies to restaurants that feature the flavors of the French–speaking Maghreb region of North Africa, there’s a lot of food to explore.

It seems like every day there’s a new boutique fitness class people are talking about. Orangetheory, SoulCycle, Rumble, you name it. One downside of all the hype is that they’ve been infiltrated by Penn students—and no one needs to see that guy in your Econ recitation sweat that much. They’re also ridiculously expensive when bought frequently, burning a hole in the average college student’s wallet. Whether you’re trying to break out of your Pottruck rut, or just interested in exploring the workout scene in Philadelphia, Street has some picks for you.

For Gen Z, sustainability is sexy. Metal straws and tote bags are plastered all over social media, and new eco–friendly innovations are popping up faster than ever. Part of this urgency stems from the impending climate crisis, but also because companies and influencers generate profits when everyone buys into the idea of sustainability. This begs the question—are sustainable products, specifically clothing, even sustainable to begin with?

If there’s one food trend that seems to have taken over in Philly eateries, it’s CBD. It’s lucrative, easy, and has a lot of built–in hype. The best part? It can be added to truly anything, whether it’s ice cream or juice, and is shown to manage chronic pain and aid relaxation. And while there are no psychoactive compounds in CBD oil, which is extracted from hemp, which means you can't get high, it still creates the mellow feeling derived from a joint or edible. The same way coffee or tea helps you focus, CBD can help you chill, so why not try it in its most delicious forms?
