133 N. 3rd Street
Philadelphia, PA 19106

King of Prussia, PA 19406

Suburban Square Building
Ardmore, PA 19003

Carrie E. writes: I really thought I would like this place a lot more than I actually do...I mean, it's a farmer's market, so how can you go wrong, right? It's not so much that it sucked eggs through a straw or anything; it was just so ehh. Most stuff I saw was…

Anthropologie
Neighborhood: Rittenhouse Square, Penn Center

1801 Walnut St
Philadelphia, PA 19103

Courtney R. writes: I know it's silly to love a place where EVERY SHIRT is $100 and EVERY DRESS is $300, whether it's by Tracy Reese or some nameless gal in Guatemala, but I do. And the Philly store is the mothership!

Guacamole
Neighborhood: Society Hill, South Street District

422 South Street
Philadelphia, PA 19147

Carrie E. writes: If Hot Topic had an older, more fashionable sister, her name would be Guacamole.

Sailor Jerry Store
Neighborhood: Market East

116-118 S. 13th Street
Philadelphia, PA 19107

227 Market Street
Philadelphia, PA 19195

Laurel M. writes: I like Pinot.
I've already procured a handful of funky items from the boutique, both useful (the "Rabbit" corkscrew is seriously worth that $$ price tag, I kid you not) & decorative (a fun wooden retro-mod wine rack). They seem to have a nice broad…

Tla Video

763 W Lancaster Ave
Bryn Mawr, PA 19010

1608 Walnut St
Philadelphia, PA 19103

Bicycle Revolutions
Neighborhood: Queen Village

712 S 4th St
Philadelphia, PA 19147

Wooden Shoe Books
Neighborhood: Society Hill

508 S 5th St
Philadelphia, PA 19147

Zara
Neighborhood: Rittenhouse Square, Penn Center

1715 Walnut St
Philadelphia, PA 19103

Ciesse Q. writes: This Zara is noteworthy because it's considerably cheaper than the Zaras in Manhattan (and, judging from a recent trip and given the weak dollar, cheaper than most Zaras in Europe). And as a previous reviewer has noted, it truly does maintain the…
