Chain pizza, so if you're familiar with Papa John's you know what you're going to get. Personally I think Papa John's is far superior to the other chains (Domino's, Pizza Hut, Papa Gino's, etc.). The pizza just tastes better. I especially like the taste of the crust and the fact that PJ's doesn't drown their pizza in oil.
This particular Papa John's seemed a bit slower than what I've experienced in the past, and it wasn't a particularly busy night. Friendly staff, the restaurant seemed clean. I'm likely to return in the near future.
I absolutely love their garlic death sauce (not their name for it, but anything that good has GOT to be bad for you). Eat the pizza, dunk the crusts in the garlic sauce, and mmmmmmm. 2-3 pepperocini and the dipping sauce with every pie is a nice bonus.
PROS: Best chain pizza available. Garlic Death Sauce, mmmmm.
CONS: Nothing too special, no interesting topping options. Basic.

I've eaten here a couple of times this summer, and I must say that their salads are their best items. I suggest you try their greek salads. Otherwise, they do have decent pizza, but it's not the best you can get around university city. Very clean and spacious, which is also a plus.

I tend to support local movie theaters. They tend to have a more personal feeling and give you a better movie-theater experience. Unfortunately, Cinemagic tends to be the exception. Their seats are usually broken, their food selection is poor, their screens are often scratched or out-of-focus, and the floor (ugh) is always sticky and dirty. Once, they even closed the entire four rows of one of their theaters because of flooding. In fact, one of my friends to this day swears he saw a mouse running through the aisle.
Aside from their poor condition, their customer service is terrible. More often than not, you will see a gigantic line of people waiting to go inside. This line is never regulated and tends to make the waiting area of the theater hot and stuffy. Their selection is limited as they only have three screens and the movies they show often are limited to black comedies.
Overall, this theater is a disgrace and should only be resorted to as the last possible alternative.

New carpet can be expensive. If you're looking to save some money Data Carpet has great prices and they do great work. When you get the new carpet installed they don't charge to remove you're old carpets or upholster the stairs. The carpets that they sell are high quality and they have a wide selection. They do offer financing and often have deals and coupons in the area papers.

The mint has a tour that is open to the public as long as the terrorism alert is below orange.
You watch through large windows as sheets of metal are rolled out and eventually stamped into coins that are in these large carts on wheels. The coins are new and are so shiny that they almost look fake. your children will think this is really cool. The whole tour can go as fast or slow as you like and there is plenty more to do in the area as this is where a great deal of the historical sites in Philly are concentrated.

The Jeanes Hospital Opportunity Thrift Shoppe in the Fox Chase section of Northeast Philadelphia is linked to Jeanes Hospital and all proceeds go back into the hospital and its programs. This is a nice thrift shop that carries all sorts of items, including clothes, books, holiday decorations and knick-knacks of all sorts. The staff at this thrift shop is sweet and helpful and are always willing to assist. And this thrift shop has some of the best window displays that I have seen.

Fashion Bug of Mayfair is a nice store to go to if your looking for anything in plus sizes. They have everything you need from business attire to bathing suits. Also, you can find all the accessories you need. The only negative thing i can say about Fashion Bug is their prices. They are outrageous and the quality of the clothing is not very good for the price you pay.
