Summer at the Piazza



Summer Sunday Afternoon...sleep in, go to church, some on demand, some laundry, catch up on reading, look out a window, procrastinate, pick at your fingernails, pet a cat, take stupid pictures of yourself, creep on facebook, contemplate your existence, sing in a high pitch, stare at the floor, cry, fry ants with a magnifying glass, or listen to Quest Love DJ at the Piazza under a thirty foot LED screen for free. No brainer I hope, try standing a few feet from Quest Love spinning tracks on a Sunday afternoon. There was lots of dancing, lots of girls with hoola hoops, lots of dogs, and lots of kids sporting afros that could dance better than me. Look for more DJs on their turntables at the Piazza on future Sunday afternoons. It's the biggest bumpin outdoor dance party you will find.



Of course, regardless of the list of events scheduled for the piazza, it's a nice outdoor space just to visit. Surrounded by so many art galleries and restaurants, there is a lot to see and eat. And to drink...we stopped at the Foodery located on 2nd and Poplar a few blocks away to make our own six pack. Customize your sixer from a very large selection and receive 10% off the single price of each beer. Jeff was pretty excited over all the belgian beers while I stuck to what I knew with Trogues and Road House Row. Carry the six pack to the piazza, find a table or a plot of grass, and relax!

Across the street is another plaza with more shops, galleries, and restaurants. We stepped inside the candy shop since Emery swore ice cream would remedy his ruthless hangover from the night before. I'm not sure it worked, but anyways, back to the piazza for more fun! Oh yea, and free parking, and if you can't ride by car, I found that the Septa blue line runs north past second street so get off at either Spring Garden or Girard. Also, a great place to watch the phillies on the enormous LED screen. Make something of your summer afternoons!
