For whatever reason, I am not 100% sure why, I have been bitten by the ol' Mexican food bug. I can't get enough of it at the moment. Now, mind you, there is a huge difference between really good Mexican food and even above average Mexican food. Much like the difference between college and professional football.

But, when it's done right, it's hard to beat. I love Thai food, Italian, German, BBQ, everything. But a good Mexican meal can make you realize the power of simplicity…

For the last few summers, The Piazza in Northern Liberties has treated us to a slew of free concerts located in the acoustically majestic "courtyard" that sits in the middle of the complex. If you are unfamiliar with the term "acoustically" or "acoustics", it just means that the sound is great in there. It bounces off of the encompassing walls and funnels straight into your cochlea (the sound receptors in your ears) with perfectly balanced amounts of treble and bass.

Anyway, since…

In a recent article published by Food & Wine magazine, our very own and very inspiring East Passyunk Ave was named a "Top Ten Foodie Street" in the entire country. Now, to me, that is saying a lot, considering the ubiquitous culinary revolution taking place, reaching everywhere from major metropolitan areas to the nooks and crannies that make up this vast land that it the U.S. Of all of these up-and-coming food-crazed "communities" (for lack of a better word), they chose our…

If you're a fan of this city, as I am sure most of you are, you'll love this video about Dilworth Plaza. The mini-documentary takes you through the design history and civil progression of this highly debated piece of land. 

If Dilworth looks and functions as well as the video eludes to, it stands to become a social and recreational focal point of Center City…

It's a hub for any and everything film-related in Philadelphia. One can find screenings at familiar venues that you wouldn't think to visit for a movie (Goon at the Troc), watch interviews with…

If you ever find yourself wondering around Center City during the day, maybe on a break from work or on your day off, and you want a quick bite to eat, check out Grocery at 13th and Chestnut. It's a pleasantly surprising little shop on the corner, serving everything from fresh-made salmon burgers and turkey empanadas to lovely home made soups that are changed daily. Tip: you can also get two freshly made pieces of…

Ladies, don't fall prey to Shoe-icide. Even your highest, most gravity defying shoes can be transformed to feel to like butter. The key is to never leave the store with a pair that pinches, squeezes or rubs your pretty little feet in the first place.

Coming from a woman that appreciates high heels, I can tell you that if a shoe's uncomfortable from the moment…

I have to admit, I've been on a bit of a makeup kick lately. Reason being, you can gain or lose weight but makeup is universal and unlike squeezing into a garment that's too small; makeup can actually put a smile on your face.

What woman doesn't have an early memory of…

There is no shortage of beautiful young women in this world. It's when women reach a certain threshold, when their skin starts to lose elasticity and bags begin to form under their eyes that they start to scramble for a quick fix. But besides resorting to surgery and Botox, is there something else that we as women can do?

Stars have always seemed to defy…

What girl doesn't love the small luxuries in life? Nothing is more relaxing than escaping to your favorite nail salon, where you're greeted by a kaleidoscope of polish colors, one to indulge your every mood. Splurging on a mani and pedi has always been a guilty pleasure of mine and last Friday I met my match. (Thank you…

You've heard of the little black dress, well say hello to it's equally worthy counterpart, the "little lace dress." Once you're acquainted, this fashion must-have is bound to become a staple in your closet, if it isn't already. I've paid homage to lace in the past, but this particular post was inspired by a special request from a friend in search of the…

Dresses are like flowers, the warmer the temperatures the brighter and more beautiful the assortment. Wearing a dress is an intrinsic source of pleasure for women. They infuse life into our outfits and fill us with a sense of femininity that no other garment can offer. In my world dresses play a starting role. From work functions to evening events to a night on the town with the girls;…

What makes a winning outfit? Why jewelry of course. Nothing takes an outfit from drab to fab like a statement necklace or a pair of dangling jewels. Who could ever forget the stunning emerald earrings Angelina Jolie wore to t…

Contributed by the Skin Experts at Cosmopolitan Skin Care Solutions: The other day I went to get a get a manicure. As soon as the old polish was removed, my friend leaned over from her chair to inspect my naked nails. "OMG, you have nail fungus!" she shrieked, pointing at the white spots…
