The Eye of the Buyer

Hey everyone,

I had to stop blogging for a while – life just got in the way. But I’m planning to relaunch this site with the New Year, so watch this space. Good things will be happening in 2010.rocky

And to warm up, I’ll be drinking raw eggs, smacking sides of beef and running up the Art Museum steps….okay, mebbe not. But I’ll be posting here from time to time to get ready for the launch. Stop by and get a head start on some great, POTC deals.

In the mean time, head to the Macy’s shows, visit a live Nativity, make some gingerbread or do whatever it is that makes you feel all warm and Christmas-y. I hope you all enjoy the blessings of the season….and stick with me to help you with your “budgetary resolutions” next year!

Free Flower Show At Macy’s

So maybe you missed the Big Kahuna – the Philadelphia Flower Show – this year. Don’t go thinking the bloom is off the rose already!

Okay, so that was a bit corny (my kids are pretending they don’t know me, so I guess I’m guilty as charged). Anyway, my point is you can still see a beautiful show of blossoms and blooms – and it won’t cost a thing. Just check out the Macy’s Philadelphia Flower Show in the Grand Court of Macy’s Center City. This was the same site of the Wanamaker’s flower shows of the thirties through seventies…so it’s not only horticultural, it’s historical. And it smells good, too!

Through a partnership with the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (sponsors of the aforementioned Big Kahuna), Macy’s will present Dream In Color, complete with guided tours. So meet at the Eagle from April 5 through April 19 – and remember to take time to smell the roses.

Secret Freebies (Pssst….Pass It On)

There are freebies all around, if you just know where to look. And if you don’t know where to look, I’m gonna tell ya! Here are some secret freebies for you artsy types:

  • Check out the Curtis Institute of Music on Locust Street, where you can catch rising stars of the music scene at the free student recital series held most Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings. Call 215-893-5261 to learn more.
  • Catch the show before it officially opens – for free – at the Arden Theatre. Their theatre company, dedicated to making theater accessible to the masses, opens the doors free of charge to the final dress rehearsal before each mainstage performance. Students with ID can catch a regular performance for just $5 with ID. Call for information 215-922-1122.
  • Listen to your music in style at the Kimmel Center for Performing Arts, which offers a Free at the Kimmel series featuring musical performances, dance and artist chats. Or go on a free building and theater tour, offered every Tuesday through Sunday at 1 pm. 215-670-2327.
  • Want to add a little culture to your shopping? Then head over to Macy’s in Center City, where you can bargain hunt to the swells of its 28,5000-pipe organ. Now a national landmark, the organ was first heard at the 1904 St. Louis World Fair - and still plays free 45 minute concerts daily.
