Their Bubble Tea is Ok on a good day, usually it is not mixed well (still powdery) and many times the bubbles are quite mushy. The price is quite expensive for such poor bubble tea. They also offer a few dishes, but I would not recommend anything other than the Sweet potato fries, which I really did enjoy. The space is a lil cramped, and can get loud if it is busy, but all in all I would prefer a trip to Chinatown for bubble tea. I would only go here is I could not get down to Chinatown.

Best Buy usually has the best prices on electronics. This past Black Friday, they topped themselves: each store would have a minumum of 10 laptops on sale for just 350$. That's unbeatable. A friend and I got there at 11PM to camp out the whole night and there were already about 10 people in front of us. It was craziness. By 5AM when the people (thankfully) came out to hand out vouchers for the big ticket items to make sure people who had waited the longest got what they came for (we got our laptops!) the line was about 800 people long. It was a freezing cold night, the coldest I can remember of this warm winter, but we got what we came for.

This totally cool home shop has more than furniture. They also carry home accesories, urban bags, jewelry, soaps and body products. Prices are not rock-bottom IKEA, but they are surprisingly fair, considering location, flair and uniqueness. The staff is nice and will special order items. Keep in mind that many of their special-order furniture items are shipped from Canada and can take more than a month to arrive.

Foster's Urban Home ware is located in the trendy community of Old City Philadelphia. This store offers a variety of unique home ware. It defiantly is not the regular products you would find in every day stores. The merchandise has wonderful character. Most recently I purchased a box that was hand painted with little dogs on it. I also have found beautiful glassware as well. There are many great treasures to be found in the store so take your time an explore. The prices really are not terribly high and the staff has great attitudes.

This is not the place to pick up a quick dozen roses after a fight. It is, however, a great place to get some really nice floral arrangements. When my mother came to visit for a month, I asked a friend from work about a welcome gift and she directed me to this place. First, the store is beautiful, with brightly colored walls, and exotic flowers everywhere. Second, the staff is extremely nice. I know next to nothing about flowers, but told them what I wanted and what I could spend and they went to work. The flowers are not cheap - a medium sized arrangement could cost $40 or more, but they did last longer than expected.

All Occasion Flowers Ltd is a wonderful business. They offer flowers for all occasions whether it be a wedding a funeral. They really do have nice selections for Valentines Day. The luscious fragrant roses can not be beat. There also is a nursery as well if you are a serious gardener. I have had good experiences with flowers shops and my streak is continuing. The prices are good and everyone is so helpful. I love fresh flowers!

Very expensive, but they have a lot of cool items (handbags especially) if you can afford them. Their hours are a little weird, but whatever. They mostly have jewelry, handbags, fancy pens, and other tchotchkes. Fun to browse around, but the sales staff can be a little snooty and follow you around the store.

The Mixed Company is the quintessential - vintage - and - new - furniture - and - decor - for - your - loft - place. Brightly painted vintage lawn chairs sit outside inviting curious customers to come in. Inside, you never know what you are going to find. Ecclectic is an understatement. Large, funky paintings are a sure-bet here. But whatever you find, you will surely be the only onw who owns it. Service is very friendly.

Once they showed up they did do a good job, and were efficient in finding the problem with my plumbing. My biggest problem with them was that they never seem to return calls or even call me back when I tried to schedule an appointment. I went through my home warranty and when they did not call me to make the appointment I had to have the warranty people call and get the appointment scheduled. Again though, once they came, they did excellent work.
