Visiting Philadelphia, 90 Miles Beyond NYC

December 18th, 2012 Written by | Comments Off on Visiting Philadelphia, 90 Miles Beyond NYC

Let me explain, I know this blog is supposed to be about NYC,  but I just have to post from wherever I happen to be thrifting.  I will get back to NYC soon, but I must tell you about my day in Philly.

I go to Pennsylvania a lot looking for antiques, and some of my best thrift store finds are found in Philly.

I love hitting up the shops in and around Philadelphia as much as I can. I find they have similar items found in NYC, but at extremely reasonable prices and with less crowds and attitude.

Like NYC, there is so much to do in Philly besides thrifting. I usually eat at the Reading Terminal Market or in Philadelphia’s version of Chinatown or Little Italy.

Philadelphia is a gorgeous city, rich in culture, food, art and of course thrift stores.

You can take a two-hour bus ride to Philly for about $8, and they run nearly every hour. It’s worth the trip.

I highly recommend that you check it out, and I will be writing more posts about my visits.

Philly Aids Thrift always has the best displays.
