5 Things I’m Excited For This Spring In Philadelphia

I’ve always been a super planned out person. Planners are very important to me, and I do really well when I know what my week looks like before it even begins. Sure, sometimes this inclination does make me feel slightly like a crazy person, but hey, I work with what I got.

In honor of the email I just sent to several of my closest Philly friends filled with “upcoming dates of fun,” I wanted to share some things I’m excited for in the coming months.

5 things do philadelphia this spring

Philly Improv Theater
I’ve never really been one to suggest going to see a comedy show. I get all the laughs I need from current TV shows and Chris Farley SNL reruns, thank you very much. But, from the few shows I’ve seen so far, PHIT (2030 Sansom Street) is different and fun. Improv shows are about an hour long, cost under $10, and are BYOB. They are sometimes awkward, but mostly hysterical, and perfect for an easy, cheap night out with your pals.

Talula’s Secret Supper Club
I am embarrassed to say I’ve never tried any of the Talula’s staples in this city. So when I saw the email come out for their spring supper club, I knew it was time to give it a try. Talula’s Daily (208 West Washington Square) offers a monthly dinner menu, and describes the experience as “kind of like sitting in the kitchen and eating a home cooked meal (without any clean-up + with a private Chef)!” They also work with Anthropologie for the tablescape, so, you know it will be lovely. I have a reservation in April for this delicious menu – can’t wait!

Flight Market
When I first saw Eater post about Flight Market, I thought it was too good to be true. But lo and behold, a Sunday afternoon at the Linc filled with food trucks, a flea market, and potential Eagles sightings is real. You can buy tickets for $12 until March 31st, and then start praying with me that some of these guys will make an appearance.

Dashboard Confessional & Third Eye Blind Concert
Sneaking in one day before spring turns to summer is this little Festival Pier gem of a show. Tickets are a bit more than I’d like, but these two groups were a huge part of my adolescent years, and it’s time to honor them properly. I’d mainly just like to hear Blinded and the Dashboard songs I used to add to mix CDs. Tickets are available here for $60 each.

My Birthday!
Okay, so I’m kind of cheating on this one. I firmly believe that if you start off your birthday (month) right, only good things can come of the next year. 25 has been an extremely happy year for me, and I know a lot of that can be attributed to my last amazing month of May. So now, I need your help. I’m looking for some new and fun ways to celebrate with my buddies, and I know you all have them. Leave a comment and help a girl out!

If you need more ideas for spring activities, Visit Philly has a great list of The 50 Biggest Festivals & Events Coming to Philadelphia in 2015. Oh, and, whatever you do, don’t forget free Rita’s on Friday. xx

Ready to see the best thing I couldn’t wait to s Ready to see the best thing I couldn’t wait to share while I was taking an insta break? Swipe! 

We adopted a puppy!!! 🖤 Meet Putter. He was born in January in Mississippi, and brought to PA with his mom & siblings for adoption by @tlcrescuepa. 

I had been applying to rescue a pup for almost a year, so I am so thankful to @tlcrescuepa for giving us a shot. We brought Putter home 4/26/22. 🥰

Putter is fitting into our family so well, and we are loving watching him grow and learn new things. Jim & I are taking him to puppy class every Saturday and we are excited to learn more ourselves! 

I could spam you with a million pictures but I created an Insta for the baby so I don’t go overboard here. 😂 You can follow @putterthepuppy to see more of our small boy. 🥹
The last night of @linnytharp’s Philly bachelore The last night of @linnytharp’s Philly bachelorette was such a joy it deserves its own post. 🚃

I have talked about the @foundingfootsteps tours for years. The owner, Tim, is such an asset to the Philly community, and I was excited to support his company for our ladies night out. 💃🏻

I booked us the Beer & Bands trolley tour. We (the 8 of us and 3 sweet younger gals) got picked up at Betsy Ross house with our BYO @highnoonsunsips and singing voices ready. 🎶

The trolley comes equipped with musicians and an amazing driver (shoutout Koser, Nate & Justin!) and takes you on a drive throughout the city, while the musicians play Britney Spears, BSB, & other assorted covers. Though we did make several suggestions to add more Taylor songs into rotation. 😉

The windows are open and we were loudly singing along, so early on, in our drunken happiness, we decided to start waving to people out the window. Once we started getting a few waves back, it became the sole focus of the night, singing and seeing how many waves we could secure (it was a 95% wave-back rate). 

We laughed and sang and just had the most fun tour ever. The tour also stops at a brewery or two (hence that part of the name), we stopped at @victorytaproom_phl on ours, but we were mostly happy to be waving on the trolley. 😂

I can’t recommend @foundingfootsteps for your next girls night out enough. 🖤
Part 2 of my sister’s #PhillyBachelorette ✨ O Part 2 of my sister’s #PhillyBachelorette ✨

Our Saturday bachelorette day started off with breakfast at our @airbnb (@hot_bagels brought by @caitlyn22b were the star). We made some drinks and headed to @oldcityphilly for our surprise (to @linnytharp) @airbnbexperiences tour - “Hamilton - The Tour Where it Happens!”

Lindsay is a big @hamiltonmusical fan and this was an absolutely hysterical way for us to spend the afternoon. Our tour guide, Reid, brought along a speaker and played/rapped along to several Hamilton tracks on the streets of Philly. We learned a lot about the true Hamilton story and had just so, so much fun. 

After the tour, we got a drink at @theploughphilly and bopped over to @luchacartelphilly for a seriously delicious dinner & margs. Our night event deserves its own post, so more on that in the final Bach post! 😉
