EDITOR’S ITINERARY JESSICA GREEN CELEBRATING 80 YEARS OF TRAVEL

The Essential Philadelphia Philly is best known for its history and endearing grit. But it's also home to many unique museums. If you only have limited time to make the most of this city, we can show you how. This month, turn your attention to the Independence Seaport Museum, where you can get a taste of the city in less than two hours.

80 MINUTES IN:

Independence Seaport Museum All aboard. Boat lovers, sea lovers and even just lovers of the “Titanic” will find something to awe over here. Located next to the Delaware River, this museum celebrates the maritime history of the local region. Start your day inside where you’ll find full-size boats, a walking history of events related to the sea and even a full exhibit on Philadelphians and the Titanic. But for a museum dedicated to the water, it’s only fitting that many of the best exhibits can be found outside. Tour ships like the Olympia ( “Artship Olympia” showcasing site-specific art instillations is on view until October 2) and the Submarine BECUNA, a World War II ship and the only Guppy 1-A submarine on display. 211 S. Christopher Columbus Blvd., 215.413.8655, phillyseaport.org Get going! Explore the city at wheretraveler.com.

Joan Shepp

For the Classic Dresser BOYDS This local Philadelphia department store has the feel of a large chain like Macy’s or Nordstrom, with highend clothing and tailors on hand to perfect any garment you may find while shopping.

Go here for men’s formalwear, women’s contemporary clothes and their big & tall section on the fourth floor. 1818 Chestnut St., 215.564.9000; boydsphila.com TUXE BODYWEAR The ultimate spot for professional bodysuits that tuck perfectly into pencil skirts for a great—and comfortable—workday outfit. Plus, a variety of colors and styles keep shoppers coming back for all their weekday needs. 1424 Walnut St., 215.545.4763, tuxebodywear.com

For the Vintage Seeker STARS & STRIPES, LTD. The clothing here may not scream vintage—you will find more preppy items like shift dresses and collared shirts—but

ToBox

any lover of all things old-fashioned will appreciate the 1881 Gothic Revival church the shop resides in, plus the furniture and décor (all vintage!) are for sale. 2129 Chestnut St., 215.587.2129, starsandstripesltd.com VAGABOND Most people come here for the large selection of lesserknown (yet awesome) designers and wide assortment of jewelry and accessories you won’t find anywhere else. But what many may not realize is the shop also has a great collection of vintage clothing— don’t miss it. 37 N. Third St., 267.671.0737, vagabondboutique.com

For the Well-Tailored COMMONWEALTH PROPER Nothing screams “put together” quite like a made-to-measure suit. This appointment-only shop is a local favorite and one visitors often plan ahead for. But for those who fail to make an appointment, you’re in luck: a ready to wear store is coming soon. 1839 Chestnut St., 267.319.1741, commonwealthproper. com

RITTER JEWELERS All fashionable people have one thing in common: they know how to accessorize.

At Maryanne S. Ritter, they are known for not only creating one-of-a-kind, custom pieces but also for refurbishing old jewelry into new and unique pieces you’ll want to show off for years to come. 704 Sansom St., 215.701.6255; maryannesritterjewelers. com JOAN SHEPP Quite possibly one of the trendiest stores in Center City, Joan Shepp is a must-shop for every fashion lover.

Step into the gorgeous Chestnut Street storefront, boasting three levels that carry everything from Elizabeth & James dresses to Marni shoes and Balenciaga bags. 1811 Chestnut St., 215.735.2666; joanshepp.com

Along with his mother Susan, David Schwartz runs the day-to-day at Sophy Curson, a shop originally opened by his great aunt Sophy that has been a Philadelphia staple since 1929. We chat with David to find out how they do it—and how they’ve done it for so long. BY JESSICA GREEN Sophy Curson has been a fashion staple for decades. How have you seen the retail scene in Philly change in recent years? The resurgence of people moving back to the city has brought so many new faces to the neighborhood. We find that in order to stand out you have to offer something different from the norm; people want to find clothes they haven’t seen elsewhere.

What is your favorite part about running the day-to-day at Sophy Curson?

Interaction with the clients. It is always so much fun to see the expression on a clients face when the try something out of their comfort zone and they realize “oh yes, I can wear this and I always thought I couldn’t.”

Why do you think Sophy Curson has found such long-term success in Philly?

We love clothes and I think it shows. When we are at fashion shows, [I get things] for the shop even if I don’t have a specific client in mind. I think if I love it, I will find a woman that will love it as well. It’s that excitement about fashion that has kept us going for 87 years. 19th & Sansom streets, 215.567.4662, www.sophycurson.com To read the full interview, visit wheretraveler.com/philadelphia.

Dining Deals

Restaurant Week is back. This twice yearly fire sale on dining at Center City restaurants occurs September 11-16 and 18-23; special three(or four-) course menus will cost $35 at more than 50 spots.

With so many choices, it can be difficult to choose where to go, which is why we’ve done the work for you. The only thing you need to do is make reservations. BY ADAM ERACE

Indeblue

BRAUHAUS SCHMITZ Chef Jeremy Nolen is cooking up new menu items for Restaurant Week.

“We’re not expensive to begin with. You can always get three courses for $35 at Brauhaus Schmitz, so we add an extra course and don’t trim down the portions,” says Nolen. His menu starts with choice of soup, then an appetizer, entrées like the pork shank or sausage plate and letter-perfect desserts from pastry chef Jessica Nolen. 718 South St., 267.909.8814, brauhausschmitz.com

R2L Perched on the 37th floor, few restaurants in Philly offer the kind of vistas R2L does. But with non-vegetarian main courses ranging from $32 to $67, it’s not a place that’s exactly accessible to everyone. During Restaurant Week, though, you can have a three-course meal for less. Take note of the risotto flavored with wild mushrooms and smoked ham, cod with ramp remoulade and tropical mangococonut cake—views included at no additional charge. 50 S. 16th St., 215.564.5337, r2lrestaurant.com

INDEBLUE Indian food is a fun way to switch up a typical meal, and nowhere in Center City knows their way around a tandoor like Indeblue. They structure their menu a bit differently, letting guests choose two appetizers and two entrees that, with a complimentary basket of naans and a dessert sampler, creates a share-able, family-style feast.

Don’t miss the paella; It’s exactly the kind of thing you’ll come back for—even without the deal. 205 S. 13th St., 215.545.4633, indebluerestaurant.com

CROW & THE PITCHER “Restaurant Week gives us a chance to reach hundreds of guests who normally wouldn’t dine with us,” says Michael Franco, partner at Crow & the Pitcher, a cozy brasserie with a lively slab-stone bar and in-house cheese cave. This year, chef Gregory Headen created a whole new menu for the promotion including black bass with jalapeno-strawberry confit, a pork rib-eye and naturally, a cheese course. 267 S. 19th St., 267.687.2608, crowandthepitcher.com

“Creative Africa”

The King of the Mall King of Prussia Mall has long been a popular shopping destination for tourists and locals in Philadelphia. And now, with over 50 stores and restaurants being added to the directory, an open space connecting the previously separated sections and a new lifestyle center, the fashion mecca is even better. Big names like Rag & Bone, Carolina Herrera and Vince now call the mall home, alongside foreign brands like German leather hotspot, MCM and U.K. outfitter, Superdry. Plus dining spots like Kevin Sbraga’s The Fat Ham, Sweetgreen and Hai Street Kitchen. But maybe the most exciting part of the expansion is the addition of the King of Prussia Town Center, directly adjacent to the mall and complete with shops, restaurants and communal green spaces. Visitors will find a walkable town square with everything from upscale food at Davio’s to fast casual spots like Honeygrow and budget-friendly shops including Ulta Beauty and Nordstrom Rack.

Businesses will continue to open throughout the year, with the officially completion marked for the Spring of 2017. 200 W. Main St., King of Prussia, PA

STYLE ON DISPLAY

Local Museums Present Fashion-Focused Exhibits BY MARISSA BAUM THE PHILADELPHIA MUSEUM OF ART: “CREATIVE AFRICA” The Philadelphia Museum of Art presents “Creative Africa,” a look into the visionary work of artists throughout the continent with two exhibitions encompassing how fashion gets started: with textiles. The first exhibit, “Vlisco: African Fashion on a Global Stage” studies one of the most influential textile brands in West and Central African fashion. The second, “Threads of Tradition” focuses on vibrant patterns that are an important part of the rich textile heritage of Central and West Africa. Through Sept. 25. 2600 Benjamin Franklin Pkwy., 215.763.8100 PENN MUSEUM: “KING MIDAS” Known for groundbreaking discoveries, the Penn Museum is hosting a special exhibit that showcases a dig Penn archaeologists excavated in 1957 surrounding the myth of King Midas and his golden touch. As the legend is told, the king wished that everything he touched would turn into gold. When Penn archaeologists unearthed the royal tomb in their discovery, they found extravagant pieces dating back to 740 BCE.

King Midas was known for his power and wealth and the exhibition gives visitors a look at over 120 dazzling objects, including elaborate pure gold jewelry that once decorated a shroud from the Caucasus Mountains. Numerous bracelets, rings and necklaces made over 3,000 years ago are also on display. Through Nov. 27.

3260 South St., 215.898.4000 MUMMER’S MUSEUM Believed to be the oldest folk festival in the U.S., The Mummers Parade, held on New Year’s Day, is a long-lived Philadelphia tradition.

The Mummer’s are formed around local clubs who compete in one of four categories: comics, fancies, string bands, and fancy brigades.

But beyond the talent, it is often the fashion that gets people talking. The groups prepare elaborate costumes and other props that take months to create, many of which can be viewed at the Mummer’s Museum. Inside you’ll find these embellished costumes, getting a closer look at the color, embroidery and accents, all of which hold a special meaning for their category and club. 1100 S.

[WHERE INSIDE]

Philadelphia Your Way

LGBTQ Crowd

Sports Lovers

The Ladies

Get cheeky with a scoop of ice cream at (1) Big Gay Ice Cream. With a wide array of colorful flavors such as “The Salty Pimp” with vanilla, sea salt and Dulce de leche, along with toppings galore to choose from, you’ll be glad you stopped in. Stroll into (2) Open House, sitting in the center of the Gayborhood, to find that special something to take home or gift to a friend. Their inventory is full of Philly-themed décor, unique home items and even jewelry and apparel; there's something for everyone.

As one of the most popular gay nightclubs in the city, (3) Woody's is a go-to spot for locals and visitors alike. They are open every night of the week and often offer fun and innovative theme nights, so check the calendar before you go!

An easy ride on the subway from Center City lands you at (1) Lincoln Financial Field, the South Philly arena that the Philadelphia Eagles call home. Check the game schedule before your visit and be prepared for endless concessions and over 68,000 seats filled with fans. Craft beer and pub food make (2) Field House a sports lovers dream. Choose from 40 different local brews and never worry about finding a seat near a TV—the bar houses over 35 HDTV's. But sports fans don’t have to be limited to bars and arenas. Head to (3) The Franklin Institute, where a full exhibit is dedicated to athletics. Discover how sports connect with the human body through games that test your skills (think pitching, jumping, surfing and running). Plus, this exhibit is great for all ages and activity levels.

Stroll through (1) Rittenhouse Row, the stretch from Broad Street to 21st Street between Spruce and Market streets, for the ultimate retail experience. Find shops like Club Monaco, Intermix and Free People and local favorites like Joan Shepp and Knit Wit. Tons of restaurants, coffee shops and cocktail bars are also found here. After a day of shopping, make your way to (2) Stratus Lounge for a classy end to your evening. Located on the top of the Hotel Monaco in historic Old City, this lounge and bar offers craft cocktails and bar bites with some of the best views of the city. For daytime fun, (3) The Fabric Workshop & Museum puts a new spin on an art museum, featuring different materials and new media to create sculptures, installations, video, paintings and ceramics.
