Man, I Miss Philadelphia!
Soul Society Fam! Who has been to PHILLY? What did you love about it most? Having lived in Philly for 4 years for college (shout out to Temple University!) it's a city close to my heart, and a city with so much SOUL. Every time I go back to visit Philly I fall in love again and again and find new gems! It's been a few years since my last visit, but this new video series "We Got You" has me ready to hop on I-95 for a weekend trip ASAP. Each video focuses on a different part of
KINDRED THE FAMILY SOUL INTERVIEW
Kindred the Family Soul - we love em. That R&B/soul duo representing Philadelphia, PA. We had an opportunity to chat with them recently about their music, Philly, food and of course travel. Check it out below: Soul Society 101: Your last album "A Couple Friends" came out in June. What was the response to that record? Kindred: I think people were glad to see us return with another offering. Fans seemed to really enjoy the writing and felt the production was reminiscent of reco
BLACK BUSINESS FEATURE: GREEN SOUL (PHILADELPHIA)
Living in the suburbs of Philadelphia, it’s hard to come across black owned restaurants. However, in the past couple of years they have been popping up in and around Philadelphia at a rapid rate and that is mainly due to the genius of Robert and Ben Bynum – owners of Heirloom, Warmdaddy's and Relish. These restaurants are booming in Philly and their newest addition, Green Soul, is about to make its mark. Green Soul is located at 8229 Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia, Pennsylva
Spanish Nights - Philadelphia, PA
If you're looking to get dressed up and have a great meal with friends, hit up a local happy hour with comrades, or even order a Friday night meal for you and your boop (Philly term of endearment) to make it a Netflix night, Tierra Colombiana is perfect for all these occasions. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and space for large parties, which my friends and I took full advantage of on my last visit for my birthday. I've also been to Tierra's for happy hour and me and m
All-Star Brunch - Philadelphia, PA
My friends and I had an all-star brunch in Philly. And my that, I mean we tried about 10 different things and every single item was on the A-list. No. Joke. Green Eggs Cafe in Center City Philadelphia is not to be taken lightly. From the warm caramel apple cider, to the apple pie french toast, to the Stoneground grits with cheddar and braised short rib, to the red velvet pancakes with chocolate morsels in the batter... it was a feast to say the least. A Super Foodie Experienc
Heavenly Soul Food - Philadelphia, PA
I went to college in Philadelphia so I'm pretty familiar with the foodie scene in Philly (freshman 15 was more like a freshman 50.) Nonetheless, I have some go-to spots whenever I'm back in town. This one rightchea, Ms. Tootsie's, is one I like to call Old Faithful. It's an upscale dining experience for Soul Food, but not stuffy at all, just classy. The food is as good as it looks, or even better and resonably priced. My favorite meal is the BBQ Pork Ribs with Macaroni and Ch
Trill Cheesesteak - Philadelphia, PA
Most of the time I like to keep it classy, but every once in a while you gotta keep it hood, ya digg? When in Philly, if you don't get a Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich, you a crazy jawn *philly slang* Now the issue is, with a cheesesteak every corner the same way there is a hotdog truck on every block in Midtown NYC, how do you know which cheesesteak to get? Word of advice, most of the time it's the cheesesteak off the beaten path that tastes the best. To date, my favorite chees
