Philadelphia is an amazing town. There are many things to love about it from the urban tumbleweaves (fake hair and plastic trash bags floating down the street) to the little dogs dressed in little sweaters in Rittenhouse square. Here are some of my favorite things about this city…
1. Cashdance on Monday nights at Bob and Barbaras. Dancing for dollars ya’ll
2. $30 bikini wax’s at the International Salon. They’re not very nice and their English is a little rusty but they get the job doneNote: Do not go with Margaux, they will kick you out because she giggles so much that it scares the other customers
3. The City Wide special at Bob and Barbara’s. Also known as the black and blue…watch out
