51 N 12th St
Ste 2
Philadelphia, PA 19107

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!

Greene Street Consignment Shop
Neighborhood: Society Hill, South Street District, Washington Square West

700 South Street
Philadelphia, PA 19147

Bill M. writes: This review is pretty much based on the men's department which can be god awful. If I were looking to pay $25-40 for a pair of jeans than I wouldn't be poking around in a Consignment shop. That said a big portion of it's men's department is pretty…

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.

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

Pinot
Neighborhood: Olde City

227 Market Street
Philadelphia, PA 19195

cherie c. writes: I'm glad Pinot exists, but their merchandise just doesn't suit my tastes. The owner is very friendly and inviting. They have some great events. If I need a gift, this might be a good place to go. But for myself, I don't see myself buying much…

Tla Video

763 W Lancaster Ave
Bryn Mawr, PA 19010

City Sports
Neighborhood: Rittenhouse Square, Penn Center

1608 Walnut St
Philadelphia, PA 19103

Marcello D. writes: Friendly employees and a wide selection of sporting goods. Decent sale on sneakers and an even better sale on Flyers' t-shirts.

Bicycle Revolutions
Neighborhood: Queen Village

712 S 4th St
Philadelphia, PA 19147

Neighborhood: Olde City

233 Market St
Philadelphia, PA 19147

Sarah C. writes: I'm super picky about stores and I hate being helped... especially by men. I prefer to be left alone. Sebastian was the first man I let help me pick clothing for me - ever. And... years later, he still picks jeans for me better than I can do it for…

Borders Books Music & Cafe
Neighborhood: Penn Center, Market East, Avenue of the Arts South

Burpee W Atlee Co National Headquarters

300 Park Avenue
Warminster, PA 18974

Zara
Neighborhood: Rittenhouse Square, Penn Center

1715 Walnut St
Philadelphia, PA 19103

Darnelle R. writes: What I like best about Zara is that they have a great product but I rarely see anyone wearing ZARA brand. Well, ZARA Men, that is. I like that. There is no doubt that ZARA has some eclectic styles and basics as well. When I shop there I do not have…

Cherry Hill Mall

2000 Route 38
Cherry Hill, NJ 08002

Evann G. writes: Oh Cherry Hill Mall!

To be honest the 3 stars is mostly for the nostalgia factor. We came here a lot with my cousins when we were younger.

It's gone downhill from what I can tell. And the construction right now is pretty annoying.

But they DO have a…

Blackeyes
Neighborhood: South Street District, Queen Village

624 South 3rd Street
Philadelphia, PA 19147

Caitlin C. writes: This is a really cute place that more people should know about. The owner is so nice and carries really artistic/urban bags and purses. These are the kinds of designs you'd find in SoHo and Tokyo. Prices are decent (a nice large bag is about $60),…
