4 HOURS IN PHILLY
Ever feel like an impromptu day trip? I do all the time. Here's a few pics from a quick drive and 4 hour stay in Philly. First stop, where else?
With bellies full of cheese, meats and sweets, Next stop, FLEA.

Starving again, in the mood for BBQ. Someone says I Yelp too much and should just learn to go with the flow. So go with the flow I did. I promised not to Yelp and without any pre-existing info about Percy Street BBQ, we walked in. Happy to report a successful non- Yelped restaurant trip. The only thing I would skip next time would be the potato salad, in fact, I would just get 3 orders of that mac & cheese, it was banging. On the way out, I was able to check their Yelp ratings and they are pretty high... just saying.
Nearing the top of the third hour, time to walk off second meal in a matter of hours. Spotted a lovely young lady across the street and practically accosted her. Turns out she's a total sweetheart and also a jewelry designer. See her designs here.
The lovely Michelle Price. |
Couldn't get over here hair. |
On Antique Row. |
Not just housewares on Antique Row, there's jewelry too. |
Four hours later, bellies full, relaxed and happy, time to head back. So little time and still so much to do, but perfectly content that we were able to squeeze in what we could in that time. Have to do this more often. And because I'm the perfect passenger, I did what a good passenger does, I quickly dozed off.
To Philly locals, which places should I swing by next time?
