{Chomp Chomp} East Passyunk’s Flavors of the Avenue

Last month, I explored a new area of the city with an event fit for any Philly foodie! Flavors of the Avenue is an annual food festival that takes place on East Passyunk Avenue, a young & thriving Philly neighborhood filled with awesome restaurants & shops. “Flavors” coincides with the Crafty Balboa craft show, so the day is a great glimpse into the what the neighborhood is all about.

When purchasing your tickets, there are two options available. The VIP tickets get you in an hour before everyone else and offer you special drinks. The general tickets allow three hours inside the tent, complete with complimentary beer & wine. There is valet parking available right outside. My family & I arrived about 20 minutes early and decided to take a quick walk around the area . . . however when we returned, the line to enter the event was wrapped around the block! But don’t stress, it moves very quickly.

Inside the tent, booths from East Passyunk Avenue’s best restaurants line the perimeter, each with a different offering for you to try. You are free to mingle around and start the taste tests! I did not get to sample everything due to time, some longer waits, and the size of my stomach, but I sure did get to try a lot!

I took advantage of “last call” 🙂

Overall, Flavors of the Avenue was really fantastic. While there were some lines inside the tent, the wait for grub was nothing like food festivals I’ve been at in the past. All of the vendors were friendly, and it was not too overcrowded. The price of a general ticket was well worth all of the food & drink over the three hours.

I had a great time spending the day with my family & I think we will definitely be back next year! (Side note: can’t wait that long & need some of these treats in your life now? Get to know East Passyunk Avenue all year-round – you won’t be disappointed!)

So now that my food post made you drool, which of these dishes would you most like to try? xx

Tonight was the best feeling of trying something n Tonight was the best feeling of trying something new. ⛳️ (I’m now looking up golf puns and I love how many have the word “putter” in them. 🥹🖤). 

My gal pal @calisonx and I took a ladies beginner golf clinic at @linwoodcc tonight. We both had absolutely never played golf past mini golf on the boardwalk… so this was fun & new. The late summer weather was simply stunning & on top of that, our class included THREE glasses of wine. 😅🍷

It was fun to get a new outfit (duh) and be in a social place that’s not a bar. My dad thinks this is where I will meet my future husband so let’s all send me some good vibes for that. 😉

I’m excited to take another class & learn more. 🏌🏻‍♀️Are any of you golfing girls? Would love to hear your tips on how to get into it (and/or meet your husband at the golf course.) 😉

What a gorgeous Philly evening to welcome three Je What a gorgeous Philly evening to welcome three Jersey gals for a little theatre (thanks to @kimmelculturalcampus!). My mom, sister, and I met to see @thelionking at @academymusicphl and it was simply *phenomenal.* 

We both found quick weeknight after 5pm parking at nearby lots ($16!) and had time for dinner & @vanleeuwenicecream before the play. 

The show is better than you could ever expect - the actors are just so talented (especially young Simba & Nala! The best part was watching the little kidsss enjoy it, too (three little boys in front of us were raising their Simba doll merch up at the end- so unreal 🥹). The show is so worth seeing while it’s here (now through 9/10!). 

A huge thanks to @kimmelculturalcampus for the beautiful Philly night out. 🖤
