The Philadelphia Zoo is a great place to take out the family on a nice day. The grounds are easily accessible by car or SEPTA. I will admit the price is fairly steep, but you can spend a few extra bucks to become a member with special perks. There is also a student discount, and a half day fare which i believe starts at 3PM. The zoo is well maintained, and there are a large variety of different animals. Many of the exhibits are great, and offer an abundant amount of information. Volunteers, as well as staff are very friendly and informative.

They had reseonable rates, and allowed me to leave my car there while I was @ work. They did not charge me to leave it there, and the Metro is very close, so it was not a hassle to leave my car there. They called and gave me the break down of the the charges that would be incurred after they look a look at my car. I then had the choice to allow them to make the changes, or pick up my car after work and take it elsewhere. I was somewhat happy with the cost of service, but was very happy with the attention thye gave me in explaining everything that was going to be done to my car. They also went through many scenarios with me as to what could be a future problem. They were very helpful!

Friendly guys run this card shop with many sports, and other cards as well. I started my Magic collection, as well as built on my baseball and hockey card collection through these guys. Very helpful, and willing to trade. They don't have a huge selection like other stores, and their hours are shorter, but they are very good at listening to suggestions, and if they don't carry a set that you'd like, they might just order a box for you.

It took me a surprisingly long time to find a nice simple bowling alley to go bowl with friends. Bowl America, is a classic alley without the fancy smancy neon lights and bar. The staff is very friendly, and the lanes don't have many issues with resetting etc. The lanes are also well oiled, for anyone who does not straight bowl, and can tell the difference.. There is a small arcade, and a food service/bar area. I particularly like their weeknight special. Sunday through Thursday nights 9pm to 1AM is $9 all you can bowl per person.

This must be without a doubt, one of the best caterers in the area. The prices are cheap, considering the world-class service you will recieve. The Owner is the head chef, and is very helpful in selecting a menu that you would like. They provide box lunches for organizations, but they specialize in dinner parties. Their serving staff is extremely friendly and are just great people.

They aren't cheap, but aren't too expesive either!

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.

I've tried a few dry cleaning services in the area, and I love their 2nd day service, and they do a great job getting stains out of my clothes. Also, they take 20% off when you bring in 5 or more items, shirts not included. I also love their late hours, open till 8PM, so even when I get out of work late, I can still pick up my dry cleaning. Great place, with friendly service.

This is a great place to take the family on a nice day, as you will be in for a long day of walking. There aren't many indoor exhibits, but they have a large variety of animals. With the new Panda cubs, as well as the Cheetah Cubs, there is a lot going on at the National Zoo. The great thing is since it is the National Zoo there is no admission fee. I will admit the shape of the zoo itself is not very convenient, It is not a full circle route that you could take, as there is only one walk in entrance and so when you finish walking the zoo, you have double back to the exit, or to the parking lot where you parked your car.

Grand mart is a great place to go when looking to make an authentic enthic meal. There are many items that are found here that are not at a typical American supermarket. I love the fact that they carry Mellon Bars(I can't find them anywhere else)! The prices are also great! Fresh Produce and Seafood. The Lines can get long on some weekends, so I alwaystry to go during the week.
