The staff and members that launched Everybody Fight are back with a fitness concept, custom built for the neighborhood at 1900 Market Street. Pass by the glass-front of 1900 Market Street, find the signs for Schweiger Dermatalogy, and then find a single door by itself on 20th Street, titled Gather. Short hall, stairs, left, right. Down, down, left, right, and we SWEAR, we’re giving directions and…
From LeBron to lululemon, July delivered Christmas early, with 8 new openings, a lighter round of farewells, and 6 new names added to the incoming pipeline. Forget the calendar — Philly got its big gift a few months early this year! When LeBron James announced he was taking his talents to Philadelphia, the whole city short-circuited just a little (JK, the city collectively lost it), and…
The mother-daughter duo behind it didn’t just find a bigger space — they found one whose history lines up well with what they’re building. Sometimes fate is funny. Mad Cat Brewtique co-founders Traci Fairey and her daughter Cassidy were looking for a new home for their Graduate Hospital shop when they landed on 2036 Sansom Street: a long-vacant storefront that, it turns out, had been quietly…
Kpop Nara’s Pop House Philadelphia pop-up has taken over the former Express at 1521 Walnut, and it’s here through the end of the year — album walls, light sticks, plushies, and all. The K-pop girlies, boy-group girlies, and everyone in between officially have a new obsession — Kpop Nara has landed on Walnut Street, and it is a LOT (in the best way), popping LITERALLY into the former Express Edit…
The Walnut Street flagship’s normally-closed third floor is hosting a residency from Victus’ “Bat King” through Tuesday, with history hanging on the walls. It’s rare that sports, art, and neighborhood history share the same room, and rarer still that the room is one you’re not normally allowed into. But for a few days timed to MLB All-Star Week, that’s exactly what’s happening on the third floor…
With double the space at 1718/1720 Walnut, lululemon skipped the easy move — more product, same old store — and built somewhere we genuinely want to linger. We’ve walked past 1718/1720 Walnut a hundred times this year watching the lululemon construction bit by bit. And the reality is so much better than any rendering they could have shown us. Lululemon combined its longtime 1720 Walnut store with…
Rittenhouse spent June balancing World Cup energy with 5 fresh openings, a couple of hard goodbyes, and a pipeline that just hit 32, with cafés alone accounting for 9. June in Rittenhouse had one job: show up for opening day. The FIFA World Cup kicked off in Philly this month, and the neighborhood, already mid-warmup from May, pushed through construction, a couple of literal fires, and a heat…
