Free Phillies Games at the Piazza

Monday night I went to the Piazza at Schmidt’s in Northern Liberty’s which is an “80,000 square foot open-air plaza with free events year-round, surrounded by three new buildings including 35 artist’s studios and boutiques, four new restaurants, 500 apartments and 50,000 square feet of office” (you can read more about the Piazza here). Since it was Memorial Day not everything was open; however, I did discover this cool fabric store and The Swift Half, which is a new bar owned by the same people who own Good Dog. Instead of eating a burger I enjoyed a fine SlyFox and watched the Phillies game on the 26 by 16 foot screen that is mounted to an adjacent building (see the above photo). Today, Thrillist Philadelphia featured the fabric store which reminded me of a blog post by Adam Flanagan from not to long ago regarding cool/fashionable bike wear. Among other things, Fabric Horse makes a unique U-lock belt holder, that I thought was pretty original, rad, and convenient for any city biker. All-in-all, definitely worth checking out the plaza, the stores, The Swift Half, etc.

As well, if you aren’t already a member of Thrillist I suggest you become one and quickly as they do a daily/bi-daily e-newsletter of what’s going on/new in Philly.
