Philadelphia

Looking for something to do in the Philadelphia area this spring? Spring and summer make Philadelphia come alive so make sure to check out some of these local events.

Ninth Street Italian Market Festival

Visit America’s oldest continuously operating open air market on the weekend it truly comes to life. Bring your appetite and take in the multitude of sensory delight as 9th Street is closed off for the entire weekend and you can dine alfresco to take in the sights and sounds. See stands offering fresh peppers and sausage, snack on roast pork sandwiches, famous mango roses, endless pastries and more.
If you’re in the mood for a walk, stroll down blocks of marketplace where merchants offer snacks made especially for the festival, musicians make their rounds and the area’s top chefs give live cooking demonstrations to show off the best they’ve got.

Brandywine River Blues Festival

Looking for something to do on Memorial Day weekend? Consider heading down to the gorgeous Brandywine Valley for their annual festival celebrating great music and great wine. You can bring your own picnic or eat at Chester County’s Chaddsford Winery.

There are two live blues bands playing each day, and admission to the festival gets you two concerts, wine tasting, and a souvenir wine glass. Take a tour of the wine making and barrel aging cellars or just sit back and have a picnic at this lively festival. Keep in mind, kids aren’t recommended at the River Blues Festival, and pets aren’t allowed.

Frida Kahlo Exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art

In its only East coast stop, the Frida Kahlo exhibit is at the Philadelphia Museum of Art until May 18th. The exhibit, put together to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Kahlo’s birth, features over 40 of her works in the first major exhibit of its kind in the US in over 15 years.

Drink in the beauty of this iconic Mexican artist’s take on love, Mexican life, and family. Kahlo was known for her small and personal Surrealist paintings that burst with color, symbolism, and raw passion.

If you don’t have the Benz yet and you want to get one in time to cruise Philly in the spring, stop by your local Philadelphia Mercedes Benz dealers, your Fort Washington PA Mercedes dealers or you Wilmington DE Mercedes Benz dealers to get set up with the ride of your life and cruise around town in style.

North Bowl Philly

The Northern Liberties area of Philadelphia continues to provide fun and excitement for its nearby residents. A while ago, a new Foodery opened on the corner of Poplar and Second Streets. And even more recently in July 2006, the North Bowl facility opened just a few doors away.

Philadelphia residents will like the North Bowl because it includes more than 21,000 square feet of space with more than 15 bowling lanes. That means less waiting on those nights when everybody has the same idea to go bowling! But that’s not the only thing this renovated mechanic’s garage offers to avid bowlers and those just looking for a night of fun. The North Bowl facility also has two full bars where you can get your favorite adult drink.

Or you can choose to visit the upstairs lounge and enjoy the comfort of plush Italian sofas, an arcade, and even a couple of pool tables when you feel like taking a break from the noise of knocking the pins down. Visitors can even get a bit to eat or simply use the lounge as a place to enjoy the company of friends. And with the glassed-in area, you can even look over all the fun going on among the bowlers without the racket.

The bowling alley floor isn’t without its own charm, either. Bowlers enjoy the retro furnishings that take you back to the 1950s every time you throw the colored ball down the lane. Pictures from bowling movies like The Big Lebowski hang on the walls, while the bars are decorated with stained wood. You’ll also notice a friendly staff that is always willing to make your bowling experience as fun and exciting as it can be.

With all of its features and unique opportunities for fun, North Bowl is the ideal place for your next big event in the Philadelphia area. Whether you want to throw a party for all of your employees, a birthday celebration for a friend, or a graduation get-together for that special nephew, North Bowl can accommodate large groups of up to 300 people who have varied interests. The facility is open throughout the week from 5:00 PM until 2:00 AM, and on the weekends from 11:00 AM until 2:00 AM. If you visit once, you’ll want to make it a weekly tradition for sure.

On the way to the North Bowl alleys, make a stop at one of our 3 Philadelphia-area Mercedes-Benz retail centers in West Chester, PA; Wilmington, DE; or Fort Washington, PA and see the finest vehicles Philadelphia has to offer. With the exquisite technology and unmatched luxury, it’s impossible to get a “gutter ball” when you’re sitting behind the wheel of a new or certified Benz. In fact, you’ll feel like you’re bowling all strikes every time you get an admiring glance from the driver next to you at the red light. Give one a try today!

The holidays are finally over and you’ve made it through them without permanently losing your sanity. You spent months preparing and thinking and shopping for your loved ones and it was all over in a matter of a couple days. Now you probably have all this extra time on your hands and feeling blue because there’s nothing to look forward to for another year. This is a common feeling that millions of people deal with every January and February. But you can chase those blues away by doing a few simple things. Consider these tips to keep your holiday spirit alive until next year (or at least until life gets back to normal).

Keep the Halls Decked with Boughs of Holly

Instead of taking your Christmas decorations down right away, leave some of them up for a few weeks. Many people keep their lights up through January and some even leave their tree up. You can even think about leaving your tree up all year-round and decorating it for different holidays. After a few weeks, you’ll likely grow tired of them and want to rip them all down anyways.

Look to the Ghost of Christmas Future

Keep in mind the fun you had this past Christmas and think of how you can make next year even better. Think of some new traditions or start saving right now to reduce the financial stress next season. Start looking up new recipes to try next year. If you start now, you have plenty of time to practice making them (and tasting them, of course) before next year rolls around.

Make a List and Check it Twice

Write down everybody you spent time with this past Christmas and write them letters. Mention how much you enjoyed spending time with them and how you look forward to doing it again next year. If these people gave you gifts, thank them for it in the letter. Carry on the holiday spirit by promising to keep in touch (and actually do it) instead of only spending time together once a year.

Wait to See what Develops

If you still take pictures with actual film instead of a digital camera, save those undeveloped rolls for a couple weeks. When you’re feeling down, take them to a place that can develop them in an hour. The anticipation of seeing your pictures gives you a renewed sense of excitement and anticipation that you felt before the holidays were over.

Keep on a Wassling

Just because Christmas is over doesn’t mean you need to stow away those beloved Christmas carols. Putting some Christmas songs in your normal mix of music can help you keep the spirit alive throughout the year. If people look at you weird when you’re singing along to “White Christmas” in August, just remember to keep that smile on your face and remember the good memories that it conjures up.

Think of the Sales

The Christmas season is the best time for sales everywhere. Your local department stores have great sales, but car dealers do, too. The Annual Philadelphia area Mercedes-Benz Winter Sales Event starts before Christmas and runs through the first of the year. Who can be depressed when they’re thinking about sitting behind the wheel of a brand new luxury vehicle?

If you take these steps and your post-holiday depression still persists, see your family doctor or a qualified therapist. There could be something more serious that requires professional treatment.
