What are we doing this weekend?
Grown people still go out.
I'm Lisa. I find the brunches, date nights, lounges and things to do around Philadelphia that are worth getting dressed for, so you don't spend Friday night scrolling.
Lisa's picks
The places I'd send my own group chat right now.
Pick your mood
Philly isn't only for twenty-somethings. Start with what kind of night, or day, you're in the mood for.
Date night
Whole plans, not restaurant lists. Dinner, drinks and something to do.
Brunch
Where the food is as good as the photos.
Eat + drink
Restaurants, lounges, rooftops and bars.
Things to do
Live music, festivals, girls' night and free things.
Events
Only the ones worth the outfit.
Watch
Come with me. See the room before you book the table.
Dinner. Drinks. Something to do.
That's a date night. One reservation is only a third of a plan, so I put the whole evening together for you.
- First
Dinner
Somewhere you can hear each other, with a menu worth talking about.
- Then
Drinks
A short walk or a short ride. Good lighting, grown crowd, a real bartender.
- Then
Something to do
Live music, a show, a view, dancing. The part you'll still be talking about on Sunday.
On my calendar
Not every event in the city. Only the ones I'd actually show up to.
Brunch
Saturday or Sunday, with or without the mimosas.
Watch 50 in Philly
See the room, the plate and the crowd before you go.
50 in Philly isn't about being old. It's about still being curious, still dressing up and still going out.
I started this because every list I found was written for somebody half my age, or for somebody who'd already stopped going out. Neither one is me, and I'd guess neither one is you.
So I go first. I try the place, check the music and the crowd, and tell you the truth about it.
Own a place we should know about?
I work with restaurants, venues, event producers and brands that want to reach grown, social Philadelphians with money to spend on a good night out.
What are we doing this weekend?
Join the 50 in Philly list and I'll send you my short list: where to eat, what's happening and one plan worth getting dressed for.
