This is a short and sweet little story that starts with me moving to Philly a few years ago and noticing the sticker art around the city. It ends with a local artist’s art opening last night at a slick streetwear shop in Chinatown. Read on for some pics and the full scoop.

After a brief hiatus, we’re back! There was a short time there where the official Finding Philly camera was misplaced. It took the cleaning of both our rooms to find it but we’ve got it again. I won’t say whose room it was in – even though that person was pretty sure it was in the OTHER person’s room, and the OTHER person feels a little righteous poking and tickling is order.
This post is one I’ve wanted to do for a long time. It’s a bit related to my Walk to Work post . It’s about three artists whose work I see every day when I’m walking to and from work. Each of them has product that they sell but they’ve chosen to go out and decorate the city they live in, each in a very different way. Keep on this way to find some pictures…

This is a post that’s been marinating for a while. I’ve decided to split it up into episodic posts though in the hopes that my adventures in Philadelphia’s Chinatown will be ongoing. The idea formed when I saw this post in eGullet, started by Philadining. Why not go and try everyone’s recommendations? I’ve been wanting to explore Chinatown for a while and what better way to do it. Read on to find out how I managed to get to 5.5 restaurants in 3 days (and eat instestines twice)! Continue Reading »

Link Here (it’s the photo of the bike at El Vez). It’s pretty nice of them to ask permission and then credit me and link to my photo on Flickr. Now if only they’d get a Mac client working!
There’s going to be a big post coming up on Chinatown (I’ve been to 6.5 restaurants in the last 3 days) with lots of photos and information. My stomach is experiencing a lot of new ingredients (intestines among them) and I’ll be reporting back on the good, the bad, and the really really ugly! (again, intestines)
Karen’s hard at work researching the cupcakes that this city has to offer! There’s more cupcakery in this city than I was previously aware of and she is very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very dedicated. Very.
It was bitter cold today in Philly but Karen and I decided to have an adventurous day anyhoo. We walked straight north with our minds set on visiting Chinatown. Just as it was getting too cold to talk we ducked into The Curtis Center to check out the Dream Garden Mosaic, a famous piece of Philadelphia art that chef made reference to a while back. It was gorgeous and intricate as promised, but most importantly a brief respite from the cold.
