With the Phillies in the World Series for the second year in a row, there is no better time to show your support and love for the team than now! We are headed back to the fall classic, and this time, game 4 falls on Halloween night.
So, who better to dress as in Philadelphia then [...]
When the September issue of Elle Decor landed in my mailbox, I couldn’t help but get giddy with excitement. It’s my style Bible. I must admit, however, that it breaks my heart a bit each time I read an issue and Philadelphia has been stiffed again.
Granted, we’re not as design-forward as NYC or L.A., but [...]
A Recent Bedroom Project - Center City Residence
I am now working as a freelance interior designer in Philadelphia. After receiving a Bachelors of Arts degree from Tulane University, I attended Parsons School of Design where I studied Interior Design. Once completing my two year AAS program, I worked for two years at Sean Johnson Interior Decoration, a [...]

Yesterday, I tried out the happy hour special at Tavern 17. Located in the Warwick building on 17th at Locust Street, you can no beat this deal. If you’re trying to save your $$ but are bored of eating home every night, then this is one good option. Here are the facts:
5PM - 7PM Monday [...]
Restaurant Week is upon us again. It’s a slow time of year for the restaurants and the idea of offering a 3 course meal for $35 seems to work well for business. My only question is: Why is Philadelphia Restaurant Week exclusive to Center City? If Center City extends all the way to 2nd and [...]
Word on the street is that Dim Sum Garden Chinese restaurant is AMAZING! I have not had the pleasure to try it out yet, but if anyone has, please let me know how it is. Apparently the dumplings are out of this world. I was also advised to ignore the rinky-dink exterior…it has no effect [...]
Tonight I had the not-so-lucky experience of eating at Mama Palma’s Gourmet Pizza on Spruce street. Just driving in from New York, I wanted to grab a quick bite and the outdoor seating area looked quaint. I carried 4 large bags and asked to be seated at a 4-top table outside. Not one other person [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
