A while back, we decided it would be fun to have a little contest to see where you would go on a date in Philly. Well, after a bunch of great ideas, we decided to go on Carl and Melissa's suggested date in West Philly. They took us to some new places for them - to do some exploring - and some of their old favorites. First up, Bubble House for tea and appetizers. Then, up the street, we did some gift shopping at Black Cat. A little further up, we went to see the sound installation exhibit at th...
Audrey and Mark head to their old stomping grounds of Fishtown! We hit up Canvas Cafe for espresso and treats, then went across the street to play around with some of DiPinto's Guitars. Then we walked over to Penn Treaty Park on the edge of the Delaware to watch the sunset. And finally, it was off to our favorite spot in the whole city - Johnny Brenda's. We ate dinner there, hung out with some friends and caught some great music at the venue upstairs. We adore that place!
Not many people think of the battled old thorofare of Washington Avenue, the wide street that cuts through the length of South Philly as a date destination. But leave it up to Audrey and Mark to show you a good time! Factory-direct Philly soft pretzels, amazing Vietnamese pho and the cool, geeky kitch that is the Mummer's Museum.
Audrey and Mark head over to the green pastures of University City, for a lovely fall stroll around campus at Penn, then to eat lunch at the famous White Dog Cafe. They hit up The Marvelous for a bit of records and comics shopping and then catch a matinee art film at the International House.
Audrey and Mark head down to 'the neighborhood called the gayborhood' in Center City. So much to see and do, great shopping, eating and drinking. They start out with a trip to Giovanni's Room, the landmark bookstore, then head next door for cocktails at Mixto. Then it's off for dinner at the fabulous rising star, Lolita where they dine on some of the most innovative Mexican dishes this side of the Mississippi. They cap off their evening with cappuccinos at Brew Haha on 12th Street.
Finally! A home neighborhood date! Audrey and Mark cruise around the neighborhood where they live, NoLibs. First, it's off to one of Audrey's favorite boutiques, Conspiracy. Then, some boytime fun at the North Bowl bowling alley. The Standard Tap is a must for any outing in NoLibs, we couldn't miss it. We had a couple beers and their fantastic beet salad. On our way to Sovalo for dinner we got sidetracked by the excellent new eco-friendly boutique Arcadia. Check it out!

Mark and Audrey head down to Old City on a quiet Monday evening to avoid the big crowds that descend en masse on weekends to this bustling neighborhood. They head to aka music for some record shopping, Big Jar Books for a lil' light readin', and then up on to the footpath on the Ben Franklin Bridge to watch the sunset from high above 2nd Street. Then, it's off to Eulogy for a selection of a couple of their more than 300 beers, and for dinner at Kabul, one of two excellent Afghani restaurants o...
