Happy Friday and cheers to the weekend. Happy Summer to all of the summer lovers. It is our time to shine. From the increased warmer weather to patio seasons, and more light behavior. Here is the breakdown of what to do for the Summer as well as what media events went down. If you are in Philadelphia here are some free events and more that you can look forward to.

If you love pickles the next time The Big Dill comes to town you need to be there. There were a lot of great pickle option food and drinks. However some of the drinks gave more pickle and less balanced taste than others. For instance, the Bloody Mary with a pickle is chef’s kiss. The Margarita with Pickle tequila or vodka had an acquired taste. There are a lot of benefits to eating pickles like helping with muscle cramps and more. The Big Dill is a blast of fun, dancing, food, and more.

I took my husband and family to Positano Coast for their father’s day brunch. It was a hit. They always have great vibes there. The food is delicious and the drinks are A1. We elected (adults) to enjoy their bottomless mimosa. When I tell you as always it’s a good time. We treated my husband to cards that spoke to who he is. Normally I would do a group card for the kids but this year we did individual cards. He said over and over again all week long that he was touched by it. So if you haven’t been to Positano Coast add them to your brunch, dinner list, and don’t forget they have a great happy hour too.

I was invited to take a look behind The Mann Center. For those who are unfamiliar with The Mann Center it is a concert and cultural hall. Things like the Roots Festival and more are held here. They have linked up with Live Nation to bring about some of the best in the game for concerts and experiences. In addition Philadelphia Orchestra and more are also doing a Summer Picnic Series where you can bring your picnic baskets and more and enjoy live shows, movie with original music and score playing. It’s a great way to see where the artists spend their time prepping for shows, eating, and even doing laundry. So make sure to add The Mann Center into you summer plans.

We saw Inside Out and it is a must see. I would suggest that you have a conversation about what is anxiety as this is one of the newer emotions that will play a large part in what happens. Give them examples of what anxiety could look like before you go for their age realm. Let them tell you what times they have ever felt anxiety and what they did to get through it. Watch the movie with them and then speak to them afterwards. Part of me cried watching it. You will have to watch it for yourself to get your own sense of feeling.

It is summer and that means outside patio drinking and more. So I had the opportunity to enjoy Al Pastor Havertown newest patio and it is a hit. The food which I have enjoyed many times was delicious and the drinks were something special. I told my husband who went with me how when I went the last time, I knew that this would be my spot and he agreed.
