It’s gift guide time! Today I’m excited to be sharing some of the best gifts from our area, sure to please the Philly guy in your life. Buying for guys can be tough, they always say they don’t want or need anything, leaving you having to find inspiration on your own. Whether you choose to design your own bobbleheads or find the perfect cashmere scarf, giving a great gift is sure to put a smile on someone’s face. Therefore, I’ve scoured the interwebs and consulted with some local men to put together the best of the best, with each gift coming from a local shop or location. If you can’t get to these stores, you’ll still be able to find some great gifts, like Personalisierte Handyhülle, online! And a tip before we jump in: if you see something you love, be sure to shop quick, as some of these babies are on sale for Cyber Monday!

How To Spend A Weekend In Philadelphia With Your Parents
My parents have been big fans of Philly my whole life. We’ve been taking hour long car rides for overnight stays in this pretty city forever, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that now that I actually live here, things really haven’t changed. My parents recently came up to spend the weekend in Philadelphia, and instead of winging it and/or hitting up our favorite places like we normally do, we put together a few plans that provided us with an awesome weekend itinerary. First stop: boozing it up with my buddies!
We headed over to Yards Brewing (901 North Delaware Avenue) with a few of my girlfriends to tour the brewery. Yards offers free tours on the weekends, and even if you only have a tiny interest in beer, this stuff is pretty cool to see.

The Philly Visitor Tour You Haven’t Taken Yet
Well, it’s taken me a year and a half of blogging to finally welcome in my first guest post, but here she is. I met the author, Kelly, my freshman year of college and we’ve been best buds ever since. Kelly is from Long Island and moved to Roxborough for a few years after graduation. After much coaxing, she finally moved to Center City this year (we’re neighbors!) and with that, came her visitors. Kelly’s apartment has a constant flow of out-of-towners, and she knows exactly how to keep them busy (and buzzed). Her Philadelphia “tours” show the best our city has to offer, minus the standard historical sites and long lines. Her visitors always love their stops so much, I asked Kelly to share her go-to’s with all of you.
