Gotta love this pop of color right in the middle of a residential #southphilly block. Done by local artist David Guinn, it’s reminiscent of “Electric Street” which we featured a few weeks ago. Happy #muralmonday!

What’s the best way to celebrate your birthday?

What’s the best way to celebrate your birthday? On our BYOB trolley of course! We’ll decorate, stock the trolley with your favorite beverages and take you to your favorite bars. We had a blast setting this up for @liizzzkeating - who has more fun then us?? 🥳🍾. Thanks @randygyyoung for all the fabulous photos!

Sometimes Philly’s even prettier at night. Loving these views of #southbroadstreet and the Union League. Did you know it was used in the filming of the 1983 Eddie Murphy movie Trading Places? Happy Wednesday, everyone! 📸: @randygyyoung

Just a little #tuesdayboozeday shoutout to @ritten

Just a little #tuesdayboozeday shoutout to @rittenhouselibrarybar where you can enjoy delicious cocktails and beautiful views of the city. Ben Franklin once said “In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom and in water there is bacteria”. Cheers 🍸

With Valentines Day just around the corner we thought @amberellaxo “power hearts” were perfect for this weeks #muralmonday - she started putting them up after a tough breakup as loving and inspirational reminders for herself around the city. We can always use a little pick me up and these hearts always seem to do the trick! 💕

A little #williampennwednesday love... you can jus

A little #williampennwednesday love... you can just barely make him out on top our famous City Hall. Did you know it was only supposed to take 5 years to build City Hall but instead took 30? 25 years off schedule... seems like a typical Philly construction project timeline. Don’t worry City Hall, we still love you and would argue that you’re one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. Thanks @randygyyoung for this absolutely stunning photo.

This isn’t just any City Wide, it’s a City Wid

This isn’t just any City Wide, it’s a City Wide in Londons Philadelphia themed bar @passyunkavenue. With @victorybeer on tap and their phenomenal wings, it’s a great way to get some home town love from 3,500 miles away. We especially love all the #templeuniversity pride. Cheers, mate and happy #tuesdayboozeday 🍻

We’re loving this 1987 South Philly Keith Haring

We’re loving this 1987 South Philly Keith Haring mural entitled “We The Youth”. Haring provided the black outlines and, in a collaborative effort, allowed kids from CityKids of New York and Brandywine Workshop in Philadelphia the creative freedom to fill in the outlines as they saw fit. The childlike playfulness and primary colors remain a great addition to 22nd and Ellsworth. This is the only Keith Haring collaborative public mural remaining intact and on its original site.

Just a reminder that even in the doldrums of winte

Just a reminder that even in the doldrums of winter, Philly still finds a way to be beautiful.

For all the lovers of books and word smithery @wri

For all the lovers of books and word smithery @writersblockrehab is the bar for you. Nestled away in the Gayborhood they have a two story library, keep their menus in classic literature and their cocktails are 🔥... literally. Happy #tuesdayboozeday
