Wishing all moms a wonderful day filled with much love and happiness!

If you haven’t gotten the memo, Schuylkill Banks is Philadelphia’s premier riverfront destination, replete with greenways, parks, riverfront docks, boathouses, residential areas and industrial sites. Go there to walk, jog, bicycle, rollerblade, stroll, sunbathe and picnic along the river’s banks in a fun, vibrant outdoor environment. It’s just a hop-skip from many Philadelphia neighborhoods, providing a great opportunity to get out and enjoy the great outdoors close to home. More than a mile of trail connects to Kelly Drive and 5,805 feet of trail is located at Grays Ferry Crescent. Bring your kayak and set off on the river, or bring a pole and fish along the banks. Whatever activity you choose, be sure to take advantage of this fantastic outdoor space in the heart of the city.

Vedge is in a slick Center City townhouse. Don't be scared by the vegan menu — this food is delicious. You will be shocked how much flavor can be created without any of the typical kitchen staples. The menu is full of unique dishes like squash pierogis and celery root fritters. The dishes do not try to imitate meat flavors but rather embrace the flavors of the vegetables. If you like beets order the salt roasted gold beets with avocado, smoked tofu, rye, capers, creamy cucumber. The meals are served as small plates so ordering a couple of dishes is recommended. Cocktails, beer, and wine are available. The service is attentive and friendly. Vedge is slightly pricey but it's perfect for a special occasion.
