Black And White And Inked All Over
BLACK and white and Inked all over Tatting it up at the annual Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention by Lucy McGuigan Last weekend, the Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention took over two floors of the Sheraton Hotel in Center City, cramming over 400 artists from around the world into a 20,000 square foot ballroom.
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.
Great White
It’s hard to pinpoint exactly where Jack White is on his musical trajectory, what with his current commitment to three bands.
Ego Of The Week: Andrea Cestaro and Michelle Lewkowitz
Andrea Cestaro and Michele Lewkowitz have kicked cancer's butt this year as the co-chairs of Relay for Life.
Readers Corner: Spring Has Sprung
Spring is in the air and so is the itch to read. When the warm weather rolls around, there’s nothing more comforting than lying in the grass with a good book.
What's The Story, Morning Glory?
In the concrete jungle of Philadelphia, there are few places where you can lose yourself in the majesty of nature.
All Dried Up
It’s been almost four years of midterms, finals and more papers than I’ll ever remember writing.
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.
Not Your Average Potter
Harry’s Occult Shop is several blocks from the novelty shops and neon signs that one typically associates with South Street and its facade has none of the draw of its neighbors to the east.
Adresse Me By Name
There is an overwhelmingly large antique mirror, centrally placed in the store. Ah, the better to see yourself in, you think.
Kitchen Stock
The smell that hits you upon entering Kitchen Kapers, located just south of Walnut on 17th Street, is distinct if at first a tad confusing.
Jew-elry
At first glance, the inconspicuous shop tucked beside Rum Bar on Walnut resembles teen-haven Claire’s — just with an upgrade in luxury and price.
Folly-Bergere
Nestled between a series of shops, grocers and hairdressers on 17th and Sansom, Petulia’s Folly hardly belongs in the dark alley in which it is located.
Home Repo
If you’re anything like us, then going to a record store is the most exciting part of your week. If you aren’t, that’s okay; you’ll still love Repo Records.
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.
Don't Go Breaking My Coeur
Hidden behind a frosted glass window adorned with a Valentine’s-esque heart, lies the comfy to erotic jumble that is Coeur.
A Top, Stitch And Jump Away
Nestled in the row of gorgeous boutiques that line North 3rd Street, Topstitch stands out as a particular hot spot for those who love an eclectic closet.
