There’s so much going on in the City of Brotherly Love that sometimes it’s hard to keep track. New restaurants, free concerts, street festivals, art pop-ups… the list of things to do in the city is never ending. Thankfully, we compiled 9 Instagram accounts that have your back on all of the above, sharing the most up-to-date events happening in and around Philly. Give them a follow!
@Wooder_Ice
If you don’t know what “Wooder” Ice is, you better head over to John’s Water Ice on 7th and Christian before you continue reading.
