Best place to shop in Philly (food, clothes, gifts, jewelry, etc). Select one? Love seeing the new shops pop up around Passyunk Ave. Occasionette is a go-to.
What is your one favorite “best kept secret” about Philly? Something that you and only a few others know about but everyone should… The garlic bread cheesesteak at Santucci’s. You’re welcome!
What makes Philly your Philly? The momentum. The possibility. The community that makes this a big city yet a small town.
