Philly Finds Vol. 36

Summer is inching its way to an end, but it ain’t over yet.

If you haven’t yet, I hope you’ll subscribe to my weekly newsletter, which is a mish-mosh of pop culture news, reviews, personal writings, and whatever fancies me. This week, I explored Kacey Musgrave’s new single and the evolution of the lead single.

As always, you can check out past Philly Finds here, and if you’re in need of more dining recs, check out the Dining & Entertainment section here.


LA CHINESCA

To be honest, most of this Philly Finds is dedicated to new kid on the block, La Chinesca. Located on 11th and Spring Garden, La Chinesca flawlessly combines Mexican and Chinese flavors into their dishes and concocts delectable cocktails. My friend Amanda and I immensely enjoyed ourselves there, and I think you will, too. Below are the plates we ordered (not pictured – baby corn with cotija cheese & black bean mayo).

Next time you’re seeing a show at Union Transfer, grab dinner or a drink here or at the next location…

JUNO

I grabbed dinner with fabulous lady Sola at Juno, before a tornado-esque storm interrupted our meal. Sola is an encyclopedia of all things fashion, and I really could listen to her speak all day about the topic. AND she recently launched her new brand, Akoya Apothecary – check that out. Between bites of our nachos, we talked about our love of Charles Gross and the direction in which we think Vogue is heading. I forgot to snag photos of our dinner, but I did share more about Juno in a previous post.

TUCKAHOE INN

We’re heading down the shore, to one of my family’s favorite spots. I met up with the one and only Her Philly aka Emily herself and her boyfriend for dinner at a post we both love, the Tuckahoe Inn. If you go, you must of the clams casino, it’s the rules. I also had chicken parm with angel hair pasta, an ideal comfort meal.
