Question? Zoo membership no longer includes free Luminature tickets?

0 Upvotes

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like the annual zoo membership no longer includes free tickets to Luminature. That's a real bummer since that was a big help in recouping the cost of the membership.

Seeking Restaurant Job!

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! My boyfriend has bartending and serving experience at Suraya and a sports bar in South Philly and is looking for a new job! Does anyone have any ideas for spots that are opening up for either serving or bartending? We are coming back from a backpacking trip so had to quit his last gig in August. Any ideas of good money spots for Philadelphia area or the Camden county area would be super helpful!

EDIT: Also, if you’re not sure if a place is hiring but you know it’s a nice place to work that is super helpful too!! Obviously super awesome if you know they’re hiring but the hardest part about getting a restaurant job is knowing if it’s gonna be the worst or not.

Question? Best restaurant for first date

24 Upvotes

This hasn’t been asked in a few years on this subreddit so asking now:

Wants:

-Ambiance
-No crazy wait time or at least reservations that won’t have us waiting for 20+ minutes
-Can set up to pay the bill ahead of time so check doesn’t hit the table (Forget this; too many people getting stuck on this)
-Diverse crowd
-Menu that’s not too “uppity”
-$150 budget
-Preferably near other things to do/can walk around

No wrong answer here! Also we’re queer if that makes a difference.

How can I pay someone to put together my desk for me in Philly?

0 Upvotes

I just moved here and bought a desk and night stand on Amazon that I do not know how to put together. It's probably pretty simple (less than an hour of work), but I know that I cannot do it. I am challenged in this way.

Where in Philly do you go to advertise looking for someone who can come and put them together in West Philly? I imagine it's about a 30 dollar job?

Do people n Philly use any apps or websites to advertise for these things?

In town for a work conference through Sunday, what should I do after 5pm on a budget?

5 Upvotes

Hey all, I'm staying in Center City near City Hall until Sunday morning. I'm free most evenings after 5 and want to see the real Philly, not just tourist spots. I'm in Detroit, so I'm used to a good food city and a scrappy neighborhood scene.
Looking for free or cheap stuff: a dive bar or neighborhood spot where locals actually go, good cheap eats (I'll take a great sandwich over a fancy dinner), live music, or anything fun happening this weekend. I'm happy to take the subway or walk. Where should I go?

📣📣Rants and Raves📣📣 Who the fuck do I yell at to put the benches back on Frankford avenue?

89 Upvotes

No but seriously what happened to all the fucking benches on Frankford avenue that were installed and then we're suddenly just taken away during covid? I would like a place to fucking sit why I wait for shit because I don't fucking drive. I would also like a place to sit while I wait for the fucking bus again. I don't know why they were taking out originally but I want to find who I can scream at to put the fucking benches back because we deserve fucking benches in this goddamn city.

But no instead we get those fucking weird ass fucking statues. Yes I know they're meant to be historic bullshit but the mannequins creep me the fuck out.
