As we prepare to bid farewell to August, we’re savoring every last morsel of summer, with sunny news always in the forecast.
Voici nos articles préférés de la semaine sur Philly :
Two award-winning Philly restaurants — Chèvrefeuille et Sao — have made Bon Appétit list of the best new restaurants in the nation.
The non-ranked list showered Honeysuckle owners Omar Tate and Cybille St. Aude-Tate with praise, saying they “deliver a showstopping walk through nostalgia, pop culture, Philadelphia and Black American history through dishes that spark new reflection and conversation.”
On Sao, the reviewers likened the Lauréat du prix James Beard to a knockout punch: “Tucked in South Philly’s Passyunk Square, Sao’s understated presence belies a tendency to serve dishes that hit like uppercuts.” Kapow!
And, in other foodie news, New York-based agave bar Mixteca is bringing a more-expansive menu to its new Philly location, which opens this weekend. Expect small bites (think tacos) and large entrees (like branzino asada), plus an impressive cocktail menu. Yum!
When a busker from France got tired of being ignored by passersby, he decided to take his show on the road. And he figured animals might make a better audience.
Fast forward to today: Musician Loris Assadian (aka Plumes) now has millions of followers on social media, and people can’t get enough of his videos, which feature sweet songs for animals.
Plumes stopped by the Philadelphia Zoo last week with his signature pink guitar to serenade the flamingos, gorillas and tortoises, all seemingly excited to hear him play.
The musician says he prefers to play love songs for his animal audience, because he thinks they can feel the positivity.
Merci! Thanks for stopping by Philly, Plumes. Come back any time.
The wait is over, music lovers.
Gregory Alan Isakov will be this year’s headlining act at Fête de la musique Philly en octobre.
It’s an annual tradition for the festival organizers to keep the headliner under wraps until the performer’s other scheduled Philly gigs have passed. For Isakov, that meant the announcement couldn’t be made until after his performance with the Philly Pops at the Centre Highmark Mann pour les arts du spectacle la semaine dernière.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the hyper-local festival de musique, with Isakov performing two shows at Ardmore Music Hall on October 12 and 13, 2026.
Over the course of seven nights, 25 bands and musicians take the stage at independently owned venues across Greater Philadelphia.
Check out the full lineup at the site officiel du festival, and grab your billets soon, as some shows are already sold out.
If only it were sunny every day in Philadelphia.
For more than 30 years, Philadelphians and tourists alike have turned to 6ABC’s Cecily Tynan to find out if sunshine is indeed in the forecast ahead of travel plans, sporting events, parades, holidays and all-important weekends.
The first woman to hold the title of chief meteorologist at the station, Tynan will say goodbye to millions of viewers on Monday, August 31, 2026.
Visit Philadelphia (hey, that’s us!) honored the veteran forecaster with a billboard to say: “Thanks for bringing the sunshine even when the forecast didn’t. Happy retirement, Cecily!”
Keep your eyes peeled along I-95 and the PA Turnpike through Labor Day for a glimpse of the farewell message.
Lily Yeh, the visionary founder of the Village of Arts and Humanities in North Philly, is this year’s recipient de la Goi Peace Award, a Japan-based international award that honors individuals and organizations whose actions contribute to global peace.
Yeh joins the ranks of past winners like Jane Goodall and Deepak Chopra. She’ll be officially honored in November.
A native of China, Yeh came to Philadelphia to study art at the University of Pennsylvania. She later co-founded the Village here in Philly and has helped communities across the world start similar programs.
The committee was impressed by Yeh’s ability to use ”the power of art to heal people’s hearts and draw out their inner creativity … [through] programs that promote economic self-reliance and foster the revitalization of communities facing difficulties.”
Thanks for all you do, Lily! Congratulations!
We’re sailing through the waning days of summer here in Philly, as the city’s award-winning dining scene continues to stack up more accolades.
Frankie Ramirez has already won over Philly with the menu at his Fishtown Mexican restaurant Amá. Now he can add a mention in Le New York Times à son growing list of accolades.
Saying, “[t]here has never been a better time for Mexican food in the United States,” The Gray Lady deemed Amá one of the greatest Mexican restaurants in the country, one of only a handful of East Coast restaurants included. The unranked list chose 41 dining destinations to spotlight.
From the chips and salsa — “crackling tostadas made with heirloom corn … with six salsas” — to the charred octopus, reviewer Regan Stevens noted how well the restaurant blends all of Mexico’s diverse flavors across the menu.
Congratulations, Amá! ¡Buen provecho, Filadelfia!

No one likes us, and we don’t care.
Sure, what they say about throwing snowballs at Santa is true. And, yes, innocent little HitchBOT met his maker at the hands of Philadelphians. Allegedly. And maybe there was a wee bit too much revelry after the Phillies won the World Series in 2008.
Let’s just say that Philadelphia, or shall we say, Philly, has had an untoward moment or two in its history. We just like to think of this so-called “bad behavior” as Philly grit.
Now, you can decide for yourself this fall as all of Philly’s worst moments are on full display à la Museum of the Philadelphian, “an unapologetic micromuseum about Philadelphia’s people.”
The exhibit runs Fridays through Sundays from September 25 to November 1, 2026, and if Philadelphians have any say in it, there will likely be another run.
Philly’s always gonna be Philly.
After making the rounds up and down the East Coast to celebrate America’s 250th birthday, Philadelphia’s official tall ship, Gazela, recently sailed back into its Philadelphia home port.
The 125-year-old ship docks in Penn's Landing, and its overseers — the Philadelphia Ship Preservation Guild — offer events and educational programming that allow visitors to learn more about sailing and the ship’s history.
Staffed with a crew of 40 volunteers (most of whom have day jobs), the ship made recent stops in Portsmouth, NH and Norfolk, VA. The volunteers all have a shared love of preserving the history and of the tall ship — referred to along the way as “an ugly duckling” — as well as the legacy of shipbuilding in Philadelphia.
Just like Philly, Gazela and her crew have got a lot of grit and a whole lot of history.
Welcome home!
Twelve members of South Philly-Basé sur Discover Pathways Youth Dragon Boat Team are heading to Taiwan at the end of the month to compete in a world championship dragon boat competition.
What started as a small group of kids interested in paddling has blossomed into an award-winning team of more than 60 students, despite facing numerous obstacles along the way.
Teens from the group have competed with Team USA in Germany and have racked up wins in New York, Washington, D.C. and here in Philly. They’ve won enough times to earn a well-deserved spot in the world championship competition.
The team will compete in the 200-meter, 500-meter and 2-kilometer races in the “small-boat, mixed gender” category at the end of the month.
Paddles up, team! Let’s show the world what Philly grit looks like.

A car enthusiast’s dream come true will soon open up shop in Philly’s Fishtown quartier.
The Cannonball Club has transformed a formerly blighted factory into a museum-style public cafe (think dangling displays and wall-mounted autos), with private memberships available for car lovers and those who want to store their prized cars in a secure (and swanky) spot.
Owner Chris Allen created the concept and wants people to walk in and “see the wall of crazy cars.” He’ll change them up periodically, with the 15,000-square-foot space designed to display up to 75 cars.
The public cafe opened up last week, with the club’s opening slated for Thursday, September 10, 2026. The club plans to offer memberships for both car enthusiasts without their own cars and those who want to store their car. (Motorcycles are welcome, too.)
Cheers to new spaces!
As we continue cruising through summer here in Philly, we’re gearing up for the much-anticipated return of the Philly Cycling Classic while eagerly awaiting the arrival of King James.
As we’re trusting the process and patiently awaiting the arrival of LeBron James donning his number 23 Sixers jersey, the team has released details about this season’s upcoming showdowns.
The Sixers kick off the season with an away game against the champion New York Knicks before heading back to the 2-1-5 for the premier match à domicile against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday, October 22, 2026 at Xfinity Mobile Arena.
And let’s not forget about Jaylen Brown, as he and the Sixers face his former teammates on the Boston Celtics in a preseason matchup at home on Friday, October 16, 2026.
Christmas Day promises a colossal clash as LeBron heads back to L.A. to show the Lakers what Philly grit looks like on the court.
We’re here for it all! Ring the bell!
As the city gears up for the monumental return of the Classique cycliste de Philadelphie after a 10-year hiatus, Philly’s Mainstay Independent Brewing Company has been hard at work to make sure there’s an equally epic beer to toast the riders.
Le Philadelphia Classic Lager debuts this week as the official beer of the race and will be popping up at pubs and shops across Greater Philadelphia ahead of race weekend.
The main event — set for Sunday, August 30, 2026 — features elite athletes in both women’s and men’s races throughout Northwest Philly. In years past, the event has drawn thousands of spectators who create a day-long, route-long street party to cheer on the cyclists.
This year’s weekend-long event also features a free Fan Fest and opportunities for amateur riders to participate.
The lure of becoming a restaurateur was too strong to keep Anyae Wilson-Worley away.
Despite moving to Florida for college, Wilson-Worley kept coming back to Philly to help mom Felicia Wilson open popular spots like Amina, Avana, BlackHen, Fia, and First Daughter Oyster & Co.
Now, Wilson-Worley is striking out on her own with « In Crust We Trust », a pizza shop that celebrates Black culture through cuisine.
Think New York-style halal pizza with delish topping options like jerk chicken, Cajun shrimp, oxtails and collard greens. The 80-seat Fishtown restaurant offers dine-in and take-out service.

In other foodie news, award-winning chef Ellen’s Yin’s new Rittenhouse spot inches closer to an official opening. Soft-opening Tuesday, August 18, 2026 — and with a full opening expected any day now — Bar Cicci promises an all-day nosh-and-sip aperitivo bar that channels the grazing culture of northern Italy. Stay tuned.
Plus, étoilé au guide Michelin Vendredi Samedi Dimanche just scored a $1.5 million grant to expand. We can’t wait to see the results!
Fans of HBO’s Gilded Age and lovers of fashion and flowers can experience all of the time period’s glitz and glamour while strolling through a revitalized, historic mansion — reopened to the public for the first time in more than 80 years.
Elkins Park estate Lynnewood Hall hosts Fleurs de Villes: The Gilded Age for 10 days this fall, running from September 25 to October 4, 2026. The floral fete features mannequins decked out in floral costumes inspired by the popular show.
Visitors can vote for their favorite pieces and check out live floral demos. Advanced ticket purchases are strongly encouraged, with optional add-ons for picnic lunches and preservation tours.
And in other entertainment news, the Chasseurs de démons de la KPop experience is coming to Maison Netflix à King of Prussia, a Simon Property Mall later this year. Limited info is available, but so far we know that the experience will include a giant Derpy and plenty of opportunities to belt out your version of Golden.
Stay golden, Philly!
Brian Ulrich’s apartment overlooks the Hancock Playground in Old Kensington, giving him a front-row seat to Heyday Athletic’s recreational kickball games.
Ulrich — the lead singer of indie punk band Mid Sentence — decided last winter to have some fun by putting his PA system in the window and providing commentary, music and maybe a little heckling.
He and his band started making social media videos, which, much to their surprise, started going viral. Now the band is hoping the online attention translates to more people hearing its music.
They’d love to garner enough attention to fill The Fillmore, and perhaps build enough fans to take their music on the road … even if it means bringing along some kickballs to toss into the audience.
Way to kick it Philly-style, fellas!
While many of the summer’s biggest events are in the rearview mirror, Philly’s got no plans to tap the brakes on the Semi-centenaire momentum, with a new sculpture snaking its way into the Historic District alongside ongoing citywide spruce-ups and public art additions.
A 46-foot-long granite sculpture slithers its way into Centre commercial Independence this fall, designed to replicate the iconic segmented snake from a 1754 Benjamin Franklin political cartoon encouraging unity among the original 13 colonies.
The “Join or Die” sculpture replicates the eight-segmented snake, with each body part representing a colony and the head representing all of New England. The artwork will be installed on the ground, allowing visitors to interact with it when visiting the Quartier historique.

The Independence Historical Trust has been shepherding the $3.9 million project and is reaching out to the public to raise the final funds to install the piece near the corner of 5th and Chestnut streets, close to the spot where the Semiquincentennial time capsule was buried on July 4, 2026.
Philly sure does know how to make hisss-tory come alive!
One of the best parts of being the birthplace of America is all the cool stuff we get to keep after a milestone birthday.
Following America’s 250th festivities, the newly reopened First Bank of the United States sticks around as a public museum, as does the brand new Musée de l'hôpital de Pennsylvanie and permanent galleries opened at the National Constitution Center et Arch Street Meeting House.

Residents and visitors alike can continue to enjoy all the improvements made to Colline Citronnée, et le Centre d'accueil des visiteurs Philly Pride continues to proudly welcome one and all to the Quartier gay.
And Philly’s gonna keep gussying up its fine self in myriad ways, from a new tree-lined connector from Washington Avenue to the Chemin de la rivière Delaware, an ongoing spruce-up of Market Street, and $322 million in new funding to build trails and improve green spaces.
No sense in stopping when you’re on a roll!
Philadelphia continues to add stunning public art to walls across the city, with Arts muraux de Philadelphie unveiling its latest addition to honor the city’s rich legacy of Black dance trailblazers.
A Legacy of Dance Excellence now adorns the wall of 2300 Pemberton Street in South Philly, showcasing images of six women who laid the foundation for equitable dance instruction and performance.
Visitors can see images of Essie Marie Dorsey, Sydney King, Marion Cuyjet, Judith Jamison, Michaela DePrince and Joan Myers Brown, founder of PHILADANCO!.
Artist Bernard Collins, Jr. said murals like this are vital in teaching history to young dancers who may not realize how hard these changemakers worked to help future generations.
More mural fun: Take part in a chasse au trésor while strolling through Chinatown, thanks to a series of FIFA World Cup 26 murals from local artist Chenlin Cai.
Roxborough natives and top chefs Arthur Cavaliere and Justin Bogle met as third graders in Shawmont Elementary School. They bonded over their shared love of cooking and worked together as teens in local restaurants.
Both chefs would go on to have storied careers of their own, working for award-winning restaurants like Parc here in Philly and the Michelin-starred Gilt in New York City.
Last year, they decided to partner up and return to their roots by opening a new spot en Manayunk, taking over the former Winnie’s location. Now, they’re putting the finishing touches on their newest place — still unnamed — but promising a “punk French” vibe.
The restaurant is slated to open later this year. We can’t wait to see what these two cook up!
Sometimes, we all need a helping hand to get stuff done, but not everyone has friends or family to lean on. Enter: the Kind Strangers.
The four recent St. Joseph’s University grads are ready to lend a hand for pay-what-you-can rates. Maybe you need help putting together some furniture or cleaning out your space. The Kind Strangers have got you covered.
They aren’t professionals or contractors, but rather just some kind-hearted Philadelphians looking to bring up the community and make a little money as they go.
Carter Karpinski came up with the idea after helping a neighbor out and then rallied three of his pals to join the effort. Now, they’re working toward building a non-profit organization. In the meantime, hit them up at their website if you need some help with a task.
Thanks for showing so much kindness, fellas!
