The Essential Philadelphia Bundle up. It may be cold outside but Philadelphia is still full of fun outdoor activities. From gardens and exhibits to ice-skating and delicious warm beverages, you no longer have to hide indoors during the winter months. If you only have limited time, visit Dilworth Park, where you can do all of this and more.

90 MINUTES IN:

Dilworth Park The holidays may be long gone, but that doesn’t mean you can’t continue to enjoy festive favorites like ice-skating and warm apple cider. Dilworth Park allows for that and so much more through February 26. Bring the family, lace up your skates and glide around the rink with a view of City Hall, followed by a reprieve inside the Rothman Cabin, where hot seasonal cocktails and menu items like veggie chili and funnel cake fries will warm up cold hands in an instant. And new this year, the park unveiled America’s Garden Capital Maze—visitors can wander through twinkling lights while learning more about the public gardens surrounding Philadelphia.

Your afternoon is officially set. City Hall, 1 S. 15th St., www.ccdparks.org.

According to Theatre Philadelphia, nearly 40 professional companies call the Greater Philadelphia area home. The best part: not all of them are on Broad Street, the city’s “Avenue of the Arts,” making it easy for you to broaden your horizons—both theatrically and geographically. BY JOANN GRECO

ARDEN THEATRE In Old City, the Arden Theatre introduces “John” (through Feb. 26) by Pulitzer Prizewinning playwright Annie Baker. The play centers around a young Brooklyn couple as they confront their troubled relationship. And if you’re in town the beginning of the month, don’t miss “A Year with Frog and Toad,” a family-friendly show extended until Feb. 3. 40 N. Second St., 215.922.8900

Arden Theatre

PLAYS & PLAYERS THEATER Not far from Rittenhouse Square at the historic Plays & Players Theater, the hilarious 1812 Productions is at it again with “Game Show Spectacular” (Feb 20 -21).

This special two-night event from one of the city’s funniest troupes promises a “mashup of Match Game, Pyramid and The Price is Right.” 1714 Delancey Pl., 215.735.0630 THEATRE EXILE In the happening Passyunk Square neighborhood, Theatre Exile premieres “Lost Girls”

by John Pollono (Feb. 16 March 12). Directed by Joe Canuso, the play explores what happens when a teenager goes missing during a winter storm. “We like stories with a lot of heart,” says Joe Canuso, the company’s founding

artistic director. “We are also drawn to plays that walk a fine line between comedy and tragedy. It’s a mystery, it’s a family drama, it’s a love story. The playwright has a real feel for depicting small town, working- class folk,” he adds.

1340 S. 13th St., 215.218.4022 INTERACT THEATER Center City’s InterAct Theatre brings together two iconic revolutionaries, anarchist Emma Goldman and civil rights activist Marcus Garvey, in a world premiere of Mary Tuomanen’s “MARCUS/ EMMA” (through Feb. 12).

Be advised: the play features strong language and some nudity, so patrons under 17 are not recommended. 302 S. Hicks St., 215.568.8079 EGOPO Over in Northern Liberties, EgoPo presents Anton Chekhov’s “Seagull” (through Feb. 19). To enhance the play’s sense of a show-within-ashow, the “whole theater is transformed into an elegant summer party,” says Lane Savadove, artistic director.

Upon entry, theatergoers are handed a glass of wine and encouraged to wander through the woods where the performance is taking place.

219 Vine St., 267. 273.1414

EgoPo

Lantern Theater

LANTERN THEATER Once again blending a potent stew of science and theater, the Lantern Theater near the Convention Center presents the Philadelphia premiere of “Informed Consent” (through Feb. 12). Deborah Zoe Laufer’s provocative work follows a geneticist whose research brings her into conflict with the sacred traditions of those she is trying to save, as well as raises questions about her own family. 923 Ludlow St., 215.829.0395 PEOPLE’S LIGHT On the Main Line, the wellregarded resident company, People’s Light, is staging “The Matchmaker” (Feb. 15-March 12), a lesser-known farce from Thornton Wilder (of “Our Town” fame) that served as the inspiration for “Hello, Dolly.” 39 Conestoga Rd., Malvern, PA, 610.644.3500 THEATRE HORIZON For something completely different, Norristown’s Theatre Horizon serves up the regional premiere of Heidi Schreck’s tough but humorous “Grand Concourse” (Feb. 3-26), which is set in a Bronx soup kitchen.

401 DeKalb St., Norristown, PA, 610.283.2230

DINNER AND A SHOW Seeing a great show can work up an appetite. After seeing performances at these theaters, we know the perfect place to satisfy your hunger.

BY JESSICA TZIKAS

The Arden Theater: High Street on Market Just like the Arden Theatre, High Street on Market is a favorite for locals and visitors from around the globe. If you’re heading to the theater with the family, opt for the family-style dining and choose four appetizers, two pastas and one entrée.

If you’re on a date, order the duck egg carbonara and burrata to share—you won’t be disappointed. 308 Market St., 215.625.0988 Theatre Exile: Fond Theatre Exiles’ shows can be so personal, they leave visitors with a feeling of belonging. Fond does this too with their New American menu and cozy dining room. Start the meal with homemade breads and continue with items like skate wing and pork belly. Add a bottle of wine and you may never want to leave. 1537 S. 11th St., 215.551.5000 EgoPo: Brick and Mortar EgoPo prides themselves on being a “classic theater on the edge.” The same can be said for Brick and Mortar, a casual yet refined spot serving everything from a lobster corn dog to center cut pork chop.

315 N. 12th St., 215.923.1596 Lantern Theater Company: Morimoto Lantern Theater encourages the audience to participate and feel included in their acts. The Iron Chef does the same at his namesake restaurant, Morimoto. Get the kusuri, a cocktail prepared tableside followed by the Morimoto Omakase, a chef’s choice dinner, for a true dining experience.

723 Chestnut St., 215.413.9070 Plays & Players Theater: Pumpkin Plays and Players Theater recently celebrated 100 years of theater, and while Pumpkin, who just passed 12 years, may seem dim in comparison, the cuisine feels as though it’s been there for centuries. The BYOB is full of local, seasonal ingredients with a changing menu that always stays fresh. 1713 South St., 215.545.4448

WHERE NOW Philadelphia ON THE SCENE

For the Love of Business MEADOWSTREET MERCANTILE Locals love this Old City shop, co-owned by husband and wife Stacy Jackson and Mike Bazis, for its expertly curated collection of covetable goods. Specializing in textiles, the shop features lines like locally made Lillian Jackson, as well as a bounty of vintage finds, including rare t-shirts and denim. While Jackson is the brand strategist, visual merchandiser, event planner and art curator (the expansive space also hosts artists, musicians and other lively, cocktailenhanced gatherings), Bazis handles support and research, with a particular expertise in men’s workwear. Also look out for candles, incense and hostess gifts that you’ll inevitably want to hoard for yourself. 47 N. Second St., 215.756.4802

JEAN DESIGNS “For us, the best thing about working together is sharing in the creative process and producing expressive art jewelry that is finely crafted,” says Jean Huffenus and Leslie Manas, who have been business partners for 30 years. Huffenus, a French metalsmith who trained at the Ecole du Louvre Paris, crafts each piece, while Manas has been co-designing since 2006. Their meticulously-made creations include several collections with scent lockets—handmade in sterling silver and concealing fragrant dried lavender—and beautifully uncommon pieces forged from precious metals and gemstones. Clients can also commission customized jewelry in their Sansom Street studio or peruse a selection that includes wedding bands and necklaces in their Etsy shop. 704 Sansom St., Studio 401, 215.922.2680

BERNIE ROBBINS JEWELERS The luxury jeweler celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2012, and owners Maddy and Harvey Rovinsky credit a strong partnership and trust as the reason for its longevity. The best part about working together?

“We are lucky to have the opportunity to travel the world together to discover and debut diamonds, jewelry and fine watches that reflect our customers’ style and spirit,” says Maddy Rovinsky.

Their travels yield a bounty of beautiful jewelry from both iconic brands and lesser-known treasures. For special occasion pieces or just to treat yourself, visit one of their four locations and while you’re there, enjoy a steamy cappuccino or celebratory glass of champagne with their signature warm and personalized service.

Multiple locations, 610.971.2446

TAVERN ON CAMAC With a vibrant vibe and inclusive ethos, it’s no wonder this Center City nightclub, piano bar and restaurant has been a favorite for years. It’s also thought to be the oldest continually operating gay bar in the city, beginning in the 1920s as Maxine’s. It’s the Brainchild of Stephen Carlino and husband Dennis Fee, who also run the nearby U Bar. Come for an elevated spin on classic pub fare and stay for an always memorable night of live music and dancing. 243 S. Camac St., 215.545.0900

STEEL PONY Dennis Wolk and Joanne Litz founded their handmade clothing and accessory line in 1992 after successful careers working in creative fields — Litz as a design director, Wolk as a display manager for major department storefronts. Inspired by a “mutual desire to create art and design,” the husband and wife team developed their own dyeing technique, resulting in one-of-a-kind boho pieces like perfectly draped tops, skirts and dresses. While Litz is the main designer behind the collection, Wolk executes the specialty dying processes and designs the hand stitched leather bags. Don’t miss their line of soft yoga pants, also hand dyed, for standout style in your next Bikram Yoga class. 758 S. 4th St., 215.467.6065

From Robert Indiana’s iconic sculpture to the very meaning of its name, Philadelphia is all about love.

Fittingly, the city is home to a host of businesses run by couples. Here, a few of our favorites. BY REGAN STEPHENS

w w w.wheretraveler.c o m

To Have and To Share Plenty of Philly restaurants make it easy to share with small plate menu formats that encourage grazing. These are the ones not to miss. ADAM ERACE

Oyster House

• Amada is the small plate restaurant that started it all in Philly. Jose Garces opened this sultry Spaniard in Old City in 2005 before he became a household name from his Food Network appearances. The restaurant has held up well over time; it’s still packed with locals and tourists who come for bites of Spanish cheese and charcuterie, dainty seafood dishes and family-style paella.

DINING DISH

Spice Things Up With Local Aphrodisiacs Aphrodisiacs are said to heighten romance, but you may be surprised to know that they are found in more than just oysters and chocolate. Here, we highlight the best local spots to find the love in your next romantic meal. JESSICA TZIKAS BEST PLACE FOR: OYSTERS It’s well known that oysters are the best aphrodisiac you can eat. And lucky for you, Oyster House in Philly is the best place to get them.

Order from their raw bar to find oysters originating everywhere from the Jersey Shore to Canada or get them roasted with chipotle lime butter or topped with bacon.

1516 Sansom St., 215.567.7683 BEST PLACE FOR: CHOCOLATE Skip the typical box of chocolate and instead head to Buddakan for their Chocolate Bento Box. Indulge in chocolate truffles, macarons, white chocolate cheesecake and more decadent bites of dessert. It’s the perfect way to end a special evening. 325 Chestnut St., 215.574.9440 BEST PLACE FOR: PEPPERS Heat things up starting at dinner time. DanDan is known for their extra fiery dishes, but if you’re really looking to up the spice factor, order the Ribeye Brew Pot with

dry chili peppers, glass noodles and peppercorn. Just be sure to keep a few glasses of water next to you; the spice level on this dish is hot, hot, hot. 126 S. 16th St., 215.800.1165 BEST PLACE FOR: COFFEE Sure, you can get coffee at the many great cafes around the city, but when you’re out celebrating, get your fix with dessert instead.

Capogiro does it best with their cappuccino flavored gelato—it’s made with La Colombe coffee and can’t be beat. Multiple locations, 215.844.8800 BEST PLACE FOR: AVOCADO Start the romantic celebrations early with breakfast or brunch at Bluestone Lane. This Australianstyle coffee shop and café in Rittenhouse Square serves a variety of healthy starters, including a delicious avocado smash with tahini, cherry tomatoes, feta and e.v.o.o that will start your day off right.

1701 Locust St., 267.239.0144

Zahav

• The smoked lamb shoulder gets top billing at Michael Solomonov and Steve Cook’s Israeli restaurant, but Zahav is actually a small plate-r in disguise. Start with the silky hummus and salatim, a spread of seven Middle Eastern vegetable salads, then move through mezze and the al ha’esh section of skewers cooked over smoldering coals.

237 St. James Place, 215.625.8800

• Proudly unorthodox, Bing Amada

• Nicholas Elmi’s tasting menuonly spot, Laurel, on East Passyunk Avenue, is so perennially packed, the chef opened up an overflow wine bar next door called ITV. Now it doesn’t take reservations months in advance to eat Elmi’s food; you can slide right up to the bar for a glass of Aglianico or junmai sake and a few bites, some of which are just $5 at happy hour.

1615 E. Passyunk Ave., 267.858.0669

• Jesse Ito has spent his whole professional career cooking at his parents’ old Japanese restaurant in South Jersey—until now. The family sold the business and partnered with a couple Philly restaurateurs to open Royal Sushi & Izakaya in Queen Village in the fall. Ito mans a sushi bar in the back, while up front in the dimly lit saloon, the menu features plates true to the restaurant’s Japanese pub inspiration. Cool beers and the best sake list in the city complement. 780 S. 2nd St., 267.909.9002

Bing Dim Sum plays with the rules of Chinese dim sum on East Passyunk. The neighborhood’s loyal regulars and a solid contingent of Philadelphians from other areas—Bing Bing’s intersection is one of the most popular Uber pick-up/drop-off points in the city—get cozy on Hong Kong wedding bedsturned-banquettes and at the bar, where high-proof punches flow. The menu is a mishmash of dumplings, noodles, congee and veggies built for sharing. 1648 E. Passyunk Ave., 215.279.7702

If contemporary is your art from of choice, be sure to pay the (1) Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts a visit. Both a school and a museum, you’ll find inspiration from infamous names as well as students. Located in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, (2) James A. Michener Art Museum is a bit of a trip outside the city, but it’s well worth it. The outdoor sculpture gallery should be your first stop before venturing inside to see artwork inspired by the area and a tribute to the career of James A. Michener himself. Chestnut Hill is known for many things: the grand homes, the open-air shopping and the (3) Woodmere Art Museum. Get a deeper look into the artists that call Philadelphia home with collections promoting the beauty of the city and the surrounding areas.

The adorable outdoor garden patio at (1) Talula’s Garden is enough to pull you inside, but it gets better once you get your hands on a brunch menu. A taste of the sweet potato pancakes with candied pecans and whipped honey butter is a great way to start the ultimate girls day. Located along the Schuylkill River, (2) Boat House Row is comprised of Victorian-style boathouses all built a century ago. Go at night and take a stroll along the houses when every house is lit up for a picturesque sight. Or go during the day for a great place to get some exercise. Complete your weekend with a taste of Philly’s sweetest treat at (3) Capogiro Gelato Café. Their gelato is made with fresh, local ingredients and they feature flavors like pistachio, mascarpone and fig and the classic Stracciatella.

Nothing says luxury like an evening at the ballet. Spend an evening transfixed by our local and legendary ballet company, (1) the Pennsylvania Ballet as they perform a grand show directed by Angel Corella. (2) Sophy Curson has been around since 1929 and they have been local experts on high-end fashions ever since. Carrying European and American designers and jewelers, this place is perfect for finding that something special. Plus, the staff will help you create the ultimate date night look or pick out staple pieces to complete your wardrobe. A meal at (3) Lacroix is an experience in itself. With a stunning wine list, upscale menu items like Alaskan King crab and dry aged duck and afternoon tea service, Executive Chef Jon Cichon will make sure you are taken care of day or night.
