To innaugurate our return to Philadelphia, my parents, sister and brother-in-law took us to Modo Mio. Translation: My Way. Located in Fishtown, this BYO restaurant is freaking awesome. I’m not ever going to bother with an exclamation point because it wouldn’t do the restaurant enough justice. I’m probably not the first [...]
Two women I went to college with have started a new accessory line, Pluma, made of beautiful feathers. According to the website, the headbands are handmade and comfortable. Now, my biggest concern is the squeeze headbands cause on your head. I’d say about 90% of all headbands I’ve ever worn feel fine [...]
A fan of Tina Tang’s Jewelry, since I moved to New York, I am so excited to see her website chock full of great pieces, links, and info on Tina and her entourage. Once upon a time, her site was pretty basic, simply highlighting the jewelry. But now, you can find some pretty cool links [...]
Since moving to Philly from NYC three weeks ago, I’ve struggled with the job search. Blame it on the month of August, the recession, or simply me, times are tough in the job market (at least from the angle I’m look from!) So, to help others with pains of searching, here are the sites I’ve [...]
Is it just me or is beach volleyball the only Olympic sport on TV now that Michael Phelps has won his 8th and final medal? This might be the most boring sport I’ve ever watched. Serve, set, slam, serve, set, slam. Yeah, we got it. Enough already. Let’s get some crazy sports going on such [...]

After residing in New York for three years, I found myself entrenched in the Cupcake War that persistently raged. Every bakery battled it out for the best, fluffiest, and creamiest cupcake. Magnolia Bakery, by far the most popular with its location in the West Village, celebrity sightings, and Sex and the City stint was just [...]
Since my funds are on the low end and not eating isn’t an option, I searched for the cheapest possible way to personalize my new apartment without breaking the bank. One of the things I noticed when I first moved in was the cheap silver knobs on the closets. They had to go! [...]
I ate dinner Continental Midtown tonight and one of the first things the servers tell you when you arrive is that it is a “tapas-like” establishment and that sharing is encouraged. Now, I agree that its great to share but I must disagree on the tapas label. The plates are LARGE! I’m [...]
Welcome to Phrankly Philly, the blog about the great city of Philadelphia. Born and raised in the home of Brotherly Love, I went to college in New Orleans and lived in New York City for three years. I am now back in my hometown and discovering all that it has to offer. [...]
