7 Things To Do In Philadelphia This Spring
Stephanie Jeanos

Although New York City will always have my heart, I'm starting to fall for Philadelphia. It's a city that combines rich history with an up-and-coming flare. There are countless trendy spots to check out, especially in the spring and summer months. Here is a list of 7 places to visit in the city of brotherly love!

Spruce Street Harbor Park 

Opening again in May, Spruce Street Harbor Park offers a variety of food, drinks and a gorgeous view. There are rows of hammocks, floating gardens and endless twinkling lights. Perfect for a fun date night or girls night out!

Elfreth's Alley

If you're looking for some history, Elfreth's Alley is the place for you. This residential street is one of the oldest in the country, and a great walk to take in the springtime.

Chinatown

I went to Chinatown for the first time last month, and I will definitely be going back. Home to open air food markets and authentic cuisine, Chinatown is the place to go on an empty (or full) stomach. Dumpling enthusiasts should check out Dim Sum Garden, you will not be disappointed.

Magic Gardens

Magic Gardens is a must in the spring and summer months. Any time a friend of mine comes to visit I always make sure to take them to this hidden gem. Philadelphia's Magic Gardens is not your typical lush, green garden, but instead an oasis entirely covered in mosaics. I won't spoil any more information, but I promise you will have a magical experience.

Philadelphia Museum of Art

I can spend hours walking through the PMA, enjoying works from the Renaissance period to contemporary art. This April, the museum will be incorporating poetry as well, in an effort to embrace other forms of art. Pro tip: On Wednesdays the Philadelphia Museum of Art is "pay what you wish."

The Fillmore 

Calling all music lovers! If you're looking for a trendy, intimate concert venue, then look no further than the Fillmore. Check out their website for a schedule of performers, that are usually (but not always) alternative/pop artists. Some of my recent favorites include Misterwives, Maggie Rogers and Quinn XCII.

Sabrina's Cafe 

Weekends are made for brunching, and there is no place I love more than Sabrina's Cafe. This bright and quirky spot has four different locations in and around Philadelphia, and serves brunch until 4pm. Their stuffed challah French toast is like nothing you've ever tasted before!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
