Nocturnal Skate Shop
Nocturnal Skateshop has a great selection of skateboards and skate related items.
Very helpful and knowledgeable staff - will often order items for you if not currently in stock.
The place I go to get bearings for my skates.
Bitar's
You can find excellent quality goods here.
They are a favorite of mine for purchasing items like pomegranate syrup or mustard oil.
Nice selection of prepared food.
Abbaye
They have a very good brunch on the weekends, can be a bit pricey - Still, a good place to go with friends or family.
I also enjoy getting a drink at the bar every so often.
Whodunit Philadelphia Books
I found the people here to be very helpful and accommodating of my questions about the various mystery novels I was looking at.
Not really into the genre, was buying gifts for friends - so I had a lot of questions about quality, etc...
Art Institute Of Philadelphia
I have taken a few classes from the Art Institute Of Philadelphia.
They offer a large mix of different classes in several fields of study.
I took a few photographic classes - all were practical, hands on affairs.
Philadelphia Java Co
Philadelphia Java Company is the best choice for coffee down on South Street.
Really excellent espresso
Good place to sit back and read or get some work done - much quieter then other coffee shops in Philly.
Mugshots Coffeehouse and Juicebar
Mugshots Coffeehouse is a nice addition to the neighborhood.
Service is a bit slow - but it is worth the wait.
Sandwiches are very good - the coffee is ok
The juices they serve are outstanding and very refreshing.
It's fun to sit outside during the warm months.
Radicchio Cafe
Radicchio Cafe is my favorite Italian restaurant in Philadelphia.
Staff is knowledgeable and their service is quick.
The pasta is very good and the seafood they serve is amazing.
BYOB
Highly recommended
united artists theatre riverview plaza
The United Artists Theatre Riverview Plaza is a disaster in every way...
Service is downright awful
Crowds talk and carry on like they are at a bar.
Projection quality and sound is some of the worst I have ever watched.
NOT recommeneded
United Artists Main St 6
United Artists Main Street 6 used to much better than it currently is, sadly now the service is too slow, crowds are much too noisy during films and the films they bring into the theater are not the best selection of what is currently out.
