Who’s on 13th Street in Philadelphia?

By

What's to love about 13th Street? We can think of plenty, but it's nice to see that business owners Marcie Turney and Valerie Safran have turned it into a blog.

We Love 13th Street is the blog's name, and it lists all of the inspiring duo's restaurants and shops. They have quite a few, so it makes sense for them to promote their destinations with one big love letter. Shall we count the ways?

Bindi - The yummy modern Indian BYO that heats up 13th St with a Thali Tuesday special for carnivores and vegetarians.

Barbuzzo - Set to open any day now, this Mediterranean kitchen and bar will feature house-smoked meats and fresh pasta dishes.

Grocery - The charming takeaway shop has a multitude of gourmet products and healthy, creative options from their salad bar and hot food case. There is no reason to settle for leftovers with the quick grab and go dinners and desserts that make you feel like you're dining at one of Turney and Safran's restaurants. Even if you're parked out in front of your television watching Top Chef. Lolita's Mexican Tiramisu from the comfort of your home...

Lolita - Inspired Modern Mexican that is perfect for a date or for groups.

Open House - Our favorite place to admire cheese boards, furniture, and home goods. The choice selection of conversational pieces is careful, thoughtful, and always chic.

Verde - Home to Marcie Blaine Chocolates, this flower and gift shop should be on your list whenever you need a special touch or thank you. The chocolates are created with the flavors of Turney and Safran's restaurants and Philadelphia in mind. So if you want a La Colombe coffee-flavored whiskey chocolate? You got it. The Mango Lassi chocolate? It's yours. A Love Park printed raspberry ganache? That, too.

13th Street has been a lucky number for these successful hotspots. What do you love about 13th Street in Philadelphia?

Not me! But I'm sure glad that someone is. Otherwise it would be very lonely!

Charles- it's Philly. There is always something happening on every street.

Rob- it is almost impossible to be lonely in Philly.

I think because there are so many young and vibrant people with places they can express themselves and be welcomed, that there is no end to the activities.

I only lived in Philly for a few weeks (the Smarty Jones weeks), but it was obvious that it was a great place!  Now I want to come back and visit 13th Street!
