Census Sensibility

I’m a census nerd. I always have been. Plenty of people love the Constitution, so I don’t really understand why there aren’t more losers like me.

Cereality?

No, Cerealart is not an emporium for art created out of cereal. Despite the prints of Hank Willis Thomas and Ryan Alexiev’s “Breakfast of Champions,” which recreates a portrait of President Obama out of the breakfast treats, the store focuses primarily on selling multiples of 3D artwork. The company’s name is a play on Warhol’s interpretation of “serial art,” and it refers to the multiples in which Cerealart specializes.

Some Kind Of Blue

If you’re in the market for being made up, massaged, waxed, or if you just want to smell nice — try Blue Mercury. Located in a cozy shop on Walnut, just steps from Rittenhouse Square, Blue Mercury is a national luxury makeup and spa chain with a boutique feel. A makeup display at the shop’s center reigns, governed by two long rows of brands including Nars, Laura Mercier, Bobbi Brown and Trish McEvoy.

Just Another Hipster's Paradise

There is something deliciously ironic about the I. Goldberg Army and Navy store, namely that it is — of all things — a hipster’s paradise.
