This is probably my favorite music shop in Philly. It has a huge used CD selection, and a lot of clearance CDs to dig through as well. Prices on new stuff is usually fair. A friend of mine who buys vinyl says AKA prices are slightly better than other places. Also they occasionally have a live music for free. I haven't had many interactions with the staff, so I can't say anything about customer services. I sold some CDs there once and I was pleased with what they gave me. I could choose between store credit or cash, the amount was the same.
Pros: Attractive staff.
Cons: I spend way too much money there.

One of my favorite drinking destinations... The frozen drinks will make you feel as though you died and went to heaven, slurpy heaven that is. Don't go in there thinking that frozen drinks don't pack any punch. They actually have a frozen drink made with grain alcohol. Beware! When you stand up off your bar stool you are bound to fall over! I have been to Fat Tuesday's in Key West, Destin, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and New Orleans. They are all fantastic! One of my favorites is the Long Island Iced Tea...Its been too long, I am getting thirsty just writing this.

OMG you won't fnd a better smelling candle anywere else. Yankee candles are top of the line, my family and I exchange these every year. They even make car air fresheners in all of their different scents. You really need to visit the outlet and not just a hallmark to take advantage of all the things this company offers. They're the best.

Repo Records is a good, small record shop. Specializing in emo, punk (punk/rock and punk/hardcore) and electronic, Repo Recrods is a great place to pick up old, new, and import CDs. You can almost always find complete discographies on the shelves from bands like Jimmy Eat World, New Found Glory, The Killers, Less than Jake, etc. If you’re looking for an emo or punk CD, come to Repo and see if you can find it.

I confess that when I was in college and living full time in Philadelphia, I had few occasions to go to this admittedly expensive little shop. However, I did have a couple of magnificent visits when I found some wonderful, unusual notecards for people unsuited to Hallmark. There is also a tremendous selection of high quality and unusual teas and coffees, only some of which I sampled. Even the few I sampled were extraordinary and the others also smelled terrific. There was also a great selection of imported chocolate, which is very good and well worth an occasional splurge.

This brewery is no longer called "Yard's". Philadelphia Brewing Co. is the new name for the brewery. Great tour and great beers. The facility is quite amazing as the brewery was built in the 1800's. The tour guide takes you right into the brewery where can watch the brewers making beer. The tasting room is also quite amazing and they let you sample all of the beers for free. I saw people hanging out most of the afternoon that looked like locals. I was able to learn about some great places to go in the evening that I would have found out otherwise.
Pros: Free brewery tour and beer
Cons: not a restaurant

I'm not sure what delicate hands you have used to shipped your artwork before but if I had original artwork with glass I wouldn't want the glass to break and puncture the piece. Furthermore i know that ups, dhl, and FedEx all have insurance up to 100 dollars that comes with the shipping cost and a few cents over that if its more. As for the kinkos option I'd feel much better talking to guys at Taws with a brain than to give my work to those underpaid FedEx's robots that look like they have something better to do. At Taws I feel like I'm family and they actually remember my name (sometimes). I love you Taws.

There are a handful of record shops on South Street, but 611 Records is a great store for dance, alternative, trance and house records. Both vinyl and CD, 611 Records carries tons of tracks from the latest to the most obscure DJs/artists from the US and Europe. The constant beat of music is in your every step while you browse through the store. The atmosphere is awesome and the staff really knows their music.
