    The China Musk incense was so fresh. The whipped Shea butter was pure bliss, and the customer service was righteous

    My wife is a nurse on the front line and I've been pumping her and myself with the sea moss.

    I picked up two Too Good To Go bags here because I wanted to compare them to the bags I'd…read morepreviously received from the Art Museum area location. The difference was honestly pretty dramatic. At the Art Museum location, my bag contained a single package of turkey breast that unfortunately had already gone bad by the time I opened it. At this South Street location, I received four packages of beef patties, and everything was still fresh when I picked it up. As a direct comparison, I cooked the meat from both pickups the same day I received them, and the freshness difference was immediately obvious. No sour smell, no questionable quality, just perfectly usable products that I was happy to take home and cook. The value here was significantly better too. I know Too Good To Go bags are always a bit of a surprise, but I genuinely didn't expect such a large difference between locations under the same store brand. When I arrived, the instructions directed me to customer service. Since it was my first time picking up from this location, I wasn't entirely sure of the process. The interaction felt a little abrupt, and I got the sense that the staff member assumed I already knew where to go. To be fair, it was close to closing time and the weather wasn't great, so it may have just been one of those days. I didn't take it personally. On the other hand, the employee at the meat counter was fantastic. Very friendly, efficient, and had the bags ready almost immediately. The pickup itself was quick and easy once I got to the right place. One thing I did notice was a slight fishy smell in parts of the store. It actually reminded me of some Asian grocery stores I've been to. Not necessarily a dealbreaker, just unexpected in a Whole Foods. Overall, I'd choose this location over the Art Museum one without hesitation, especially for Too Good To Go pickups. Better value, fresher food, and a much more satisfying experience overall. I was genuinely impressed by how much was included in the bags and how fresh everything was when I got it.

    I enjoy shopping at this Whole Foods location. I mainly visit whenever I have an Amazon return as…read moreit's convenient to walk to from my office. The employees at the Amazon desk are pleasant and efficient. There usually isn't a line for returns here either. I was surprised to see Good Culture cottage cheese in stock today, so I grabbed one before they sold out again. I also picked up a rose flavored yogurt that I'm very excited to try. Self checkout lanes make for a quick and easy experience purchasing groceries.

    Greenfest Philly is a smaller fest, but still a fun afternoon activity if it's a nice day! I went a…read morefew years ago and remember it being pretty small and close to Headhouse Square, with limited food options. This year was located around Bainbridge Green and seemed bigger and better (although still somewhat limited food). Free stuff: it was a good haul: spun an indego wheel for some gummies, could have gotten some free sunglasses and pens, tote bag, coupon, and banana from Mom's Organic Market, 10 min scalp massage on site from Eviama (amazing!), and the company giving out $20 food coupons for taking 10 selfies was incredible. Also remember to bring clothing for the swap (for every piece you bring I think you get one piece). Saw some girls with free recycling bins. Activities: sit and enjoy live music (West Philly Orchestra was there), climb a free rock wall, do yoga in the morning, learn about lots of green things (think:composting.) Eat and Drink: Kung Fu Hoagies (vegan banh mis) seems to be a staple, this year also had Humptys Dumplings, some boozy popsicles, Bridget Foys tent had mimosas and popcorn, and there was another Asian tent with skewers and spring rolls. These can be bought with $10 food tickets you can purchase at the end. Constructive Criticism: seems a bit ironic that Greenfest exhibitors would be handing out flyers, and food and drinks in plastic and paper plates (although many of these are recyclable). Could be cool to offer discounts for people who bring their own cup? Check it out if you're free, but I wouldn't rearrange my weekend around it.

    If you want to get your hippie on, come to Greenfest! It's an annual festival going strong, in fact…read moregrowing strong, since 2006. The fest is coordinated by Clean Air Council Philly which promotes living a greener life in every way you can imagine and in some ways you probably never though of. All the yoga, organic fruit, yummy plant based noms and animal saving you can handle. This year the festival expanded beyond just Head House Square, down to South Street at 3rd. The festival includes really great live music of all kinds, many local artisans and of course, many amazing food vendors such as My Soy Cafe, Nomad Pizza, Flora from Jenkintown and personal favorites (and always a bigger line) Kung Fu Hoagies and Gangster Vegan from Norristown. (Look out for their new brick and mortar opening in University City soon!!) This year there were cooking classes with some of Philly's favorite vegan gems like Ms Rachel's Pantry (fav), Revolution Taco and P'unk Burger. There's a fun kids' corner sponsored by Mom's Organic who is always on hand dishing out FREE goodie bags and produce! (Oh, and they're opening up a shop right here in the city at 10th & Market in Dec/Jan 2016.) The kiddos could participate in FREE yoga, build and play with natural wood toys, sculpting, painting and meditate, even rock climb! Way cool! Honestly, the festival is a great place for us freaky veg-heads to gather every year, but also for anyone who wants to venture out and try some of the most delicious animal friendly food you will ever have and learn about how we can all make the planet a little better!
