My friends suggested that we stop by the Punk Rock Flea Market, which was held at the armory…read more Hey - why not? An armory is a perfect place for a DIY punk show, so why couldn't one host a flea market? The event was a success. There were plenty of vendors who were selling everything from old vinyl to thrift clothing to homemade artwork and more - all with a punk rock attitude. The venue itself is a-ok. It's obviously an old military armory, complete with a few military artifacts. I'm not sure if it's still used for military purposes, however its website advertises it can be rented out for corporate expos, tradeshows, weddings and other events. There's plenty of space for all these things, though not many bells and whistles. A note - the bathrooms are downstairs. I didn't see an elevator, so you may want to inquire about one if you think your guests may need it.

This company (now called ReEvent) re-purposes decor and worked with me on a very tight budget. I was planning on doing everything myself but just did not have the time. The owner is so creative and talented. She told me exactly what I should and should not buy and where to save money on the things I thought I needed. I made a lot of my own decorations and Valori helped me to embellish and coordinate everything. I have my son's Bar Mitzvah next year and will definitely use them again.

You can also see what's in the deli case and it's all fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. They also offer Thanksgiving menus and the options look amazing, with something for everyone. The store itself is small, cozy, and quaint. There's a little patio setup outside with a chair and table, but it's mainly a takeout place where you bring the food home and enjoy it. I love this place so much. The food is consistently fantastic and surprisingly varied while still being done really well. Special shout-out to their elote salad, which is creamy, slightly smoky, and has that perfect sweet corn snap, and their beet salad with balsamic Dijon, which is tangy, earthy, a little sweet, and super refreshing. Both are absolute favorites. Such a gem of a spot.

Our server greeted us as soon as we walked in and let us know we had to scan the QR code to access menu. Nice,clean tables,music in background. Bathroom was clean, that's always important. The food took a minute,but it was worth it. The beef empanadas were not greasy at all! It had different ingredients in it which gave it a unique flavor. The onion rings were the best I ever tasted! When I say they were not greasy... My friend goes here a lot and he had the shrimp and fries. His usual. Really good meal for a decent price.

Chicken wings were flavorfully done well and cooked right but I could only choose one flavor…read morebecause it would be too much for them to do more than one flavor. Would be good to add that to the menu. At 1.50 per wing for 10 wings, two flavors to try would've been nice. There was only one server/bartender for the entire place. The upstairs was open but no one was using it. Free pool and mini arcade machines and maybe a dartboard I didn't see sounded fun. You have to go behind a curtain and upstairs. I went with a friend and it happened to be karaoke afternoon. I sung alright and my friend, who used to sing professionally, thought I would do horrible but I held my own and improvised. A couple of females liked my singing- I'll take it. Strangelove definitely is lgbt friendly. I sense there are some regulars here . Some women wanted to take my seat when I was up to sing and my friend could've moved over one but he wanted my specific seat saved. The women he told me about apparently didn't ask and one tried to demand and another just laughed it off (in what sounded like a how dare you be so pedestrian without saying it) and didn't want to argue. My wings were packed well as there were some napkins put at the bottom of my ToGo bag since there was leaking sauce and it saved the bag from getting soaked over. These extra napkins definitely made a 4 star experience a 5 for me. I enjoyed the wings enough that there is no picture and they are all gone now. Sorry! I was at a Yelp Event earlier this day. So I only ordered out because I really wanted to try their wings and not actually ate there.

Extremely disappointed by my visit to Paper on Pine…read more I stopped in after noticing some of the cool-looking gifts in their window. The store is pretty large so me and my group of 2 other people were inside browsing for 15-20 minutes. There was one employee, an older man with glasses, and the whole time he did not acknowledge us even though we were the only people in the store. A hello would have been nice, but my experience was still mostly positive at that point. When I approach the counter to pay, the man working heads over to the other end of the store to tidy some shelves. Me and my group wait patiently for a few minutes before he comes back, gives a rude look, and asks "That all?" I cordially say "Yes, thank you", pay for my items and head out. As I am heading home and already out of Philadelphia, I glance at the receipt and notice he rang up what were supposed to be $3 stickers as $6 magnets. I don't mind paying $6 for a sticker, but blatantly charging for a different, higher-ticket item is outright fraud and deception. The customer service already left a bad taste in my mouth and this was the cherry on top.

We decided to check out the Ukrainian League of Philadelphia after having an awesome meal at Morimoto (see my review)! We're happy to make the trek to check things out. We thought we'd be in and out after having a beer or two, but we were in for a treat. Tonight was jazz night. Not only was it jazz night, it was Ukrainian jazz night. The League has jazz night once monthly with an in-house trio but as the bass player advised us, he was lucky enough to be able to visit Ukraine several times and hook up with other jazz musicians. When he heard that they were coming to the United States but the west coast for a jazz festival, he asked them if they'd consider coming to Philadelphia for a night or two and they did. They had a rehearsal the day before, and played to a packed house at the Ukrainian League for a two hour set with no breaks consisting of alto, trumpet, guitar, upright bass, keyboard, and drums. The combo was tight and full of hot licks and kicks with all getting their turn in the spotlight. The leader of the band on the trumpet talked about each piece and how some of the atrocities he and his bandmates have had to deal with resulting in the inspirations for the different pieces of music. He even had a reinterpretation of an Ukrainian Folk song which they first played off his phone the original. However, this is about the Ukrainian League. Going down the stairs, you came to the door where you end up in a rectangle shaped room with a large bar along the right side, and banquettes and tall bar tables with chairs in the center and other side. There's also an old pool table but I don't know if it was operational. They have a lot of Ukrainian beer, but also a fully stocked bar with everything you could want. And the drinks are cheap. $4 for a Captain and Coke. The people who came in after we did all seemed to be regulars and the Ukrainian language filled the air. My friend and I were not the youngest in the place, either. My only knock was after the two hour set of jazz, my ass was on fire in the very uncomfortable seats. The Ukrainian League also has open mic nights, movie nights, and sponsors other special nights. They also sell frozen pierogis! Overall, my friend and I had a great night listening to jazz and having some cheap drinks. We'd like to come back!
