Remax Access, Northern Liberties
Cinco De Mayo in Your Neighborhood
Philadelphians known all about independence, so we're right on top of celebrating Mexico's independence victory on May 5th. What's going on in your barrio? Read on.
Northern Liberties will see mucho margarita pitchers served, especially at Cantina Dos Segundos, where the Cinco de Mayo Art Show will feature work from DJ Luis Angel Cancel, Joey Knuckles of Philadelphia Eddie's Tattoo 621, Elena Nestico (DJ Lady Prowl), Daniel P Cordua, K Fish, and others. Drink that in while you're toasting with tequila.
Taco Riendo, the authentic taqueria titan of Old Kensington, is giving out complimentary Corona and tequila to customers. Their outdoor seating area should be the perfect place to tackle some salsa.
You'll want to see it to believe it, but the Cinco De Mayo Macarena Mob will hit the Piazza at exactly 6:30 pm, so make sure you're there.
Rittenhouse Square now has El Rey, Stephen Starr's Mexican diner, to raise a glass at on Cinco de Mayo.
For a real margarita without the typical boisterous crowd, you could ask for one at the Franklin Bar in Rittenhouse Square. You may not find it on the menu, but they KNOW.
In University City, you can always guarantee that there's a fiesta at Distrito. This Cinco de Mayo, they'll be celebrating all day. They're calling it "the best party north of the border...and west of the river." Doors will open at 11:30 am with drink and menu specials. DJs Adub and CSharp start at 9 pm. Don't forget your luchador mask.
Another Mexican favorite of ours is Jose's Mexican Food in the Loft District, perhaps one of the District's best secrets.
Can't make it out on May 5? Saturday's Cinco De Miro III at the Latvian Society is Miro Dance Theatre's aptly-named dance competition. Think of it as Dancing With the Stars, Cinco de Mayo style.

Sittin’ Pretty in the Piazza
Natural makeup. We love it. And it suits the vibe of Northern Liberties, where one should never appear too made up. Less, as they say, is more. When it comes to salons, however, more is definitely more. We want to look casual here, but we do want to take care of ourselves. You never know who you'll meet at One Shot.
Owner of Salon Tenshi in the Loft District, Brandy DaVila, will bring Tenshi Beauty Bar to the Piazza this summer. DaVila's cosmetics line, Tenshi Cosmetics, is mineral-based, a natural and hypo-allergenic alternative. The beauty bar is scheduled to open on May 1. You can get a new makeup look at the counter there, but you'll have to visit the Loft District location for manicures, pedicures, and hair services. Or you can simply try Genesis Salon across the street after having your makeup done for a full day of it.
Tenshi Beauty Bar, the Piazza at Schmidts, 215-232-8090
Salon Tenshi, 537 N. 10th St

Lenfest Plaza Coming to the Loft District
Lenfest Plaza Coming to the Loft District
We heard some excellent news yesterday that will further develop one of the neighborhoods that we love and work with: the Loft District.
The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, which is just southwest of the Loft District, has announced plans for Lenfest Plaza. Think of what would happen if someone put Rittenhouse Square or the Piazza at Schmidt's at Broad and Cherry. Well, not exactly, but Lenfest Plaza will pose a similar concept in creating a bustling social space in the area.
Designs from OLIN architectural landscaping firm were approved for the 24-hour pedestrian court. The plan will include a restaurant and plenty of outdoor seating, which will complement the nearby Convention Center nicely. A renowned sculptor has been commissioned to create a unique work of art that will be displayed on the site. OLIN has worked on many museums, parks, memorials, and urban designs, including Independence National Historic Park, Dilworth Plaza, and the Comcast Center Plaza, so they know a thing or two about public spaces.
We'll keep you posted as details come in, but are you as pumped for this as we are? We really see the surrounding streets of the Loft District and the Convention Center as under-utilized. A destination like this will not only add to North Broad Street's appearance, it will make this section a more pedestrian-friendly hive and be valuable to the residents.

What’s up with…Brandywine East
Brandywine East is a neighborhood at the eastern section of Spring Garden Street. This neighborhood is residential and is now popular with many Temple University students and artists who have migrated from the Loft District and Northern Liberties. Chinatown is a quick walk. The Community College of Philadelphia is a few blocks away.
The Institute Bar is a local pub known for great beer and an upstairs whiskey bar. Other neighborhood destinations include Cafe Lift and Prohibition Taproom and excellent burritos at Jose's Mexican Food. For finer dining, Osteria on North Broad offers some of the best Italian food and service in Philadelphia.
The Route 43 bus travels along Spring Garden Street and the Route 23 Bus transports residents to Temple University via 12th and 13th Streets. The Broad Street subway stops at Spring Garden. This makes Brandywine East such an extremely convenient area to live, especially if you are a student or are reliant on public transportation. On weekday mornings, a parade of bikers commutes to work along Spring Garden.
