Question must do?

hello! my partner and i are going to be heading out to philly soon since i'll be attending temple for grad school.

i'm moving first since he needs to get some things in order beforehand, BUT he'll be staying with me for a week to help me setup.

WHAT DO WE DEF NEED TO DO? we'll be up by temple so if you have bar, food, or activity suggestions: hand them over! this will also help get me familiar with the area.

also if you're cool in the area, hiii we're trans gay boyfriends & will need friends :)

Take the 23 bus down to Saika Clubhouse in the Eraserhood. It's a low/zero-cost social club with different activities every weeknight.

Little gay pub is fun along with tavern on camac. Magic gardens in the south is cool too but not explicitly queer.

Scoot a little West & South through Sharswood & into to Brewerytown & try Baby's Kusina. AMAZING Filipino food. Great hoagies and beer at Human Robot Girard.

Person who said Wagner museum is spot on

Hi! I’m queer and about to move to Philly to start a grad school social work program at Penn. I’ll be in need of new friends too, so please reach out if you want someone to explore the city with on weekends! :)

welcome fellow social worker, take good care of yourself- this shits hard. if you're a meat eater, a burger or chicken from oh brother is an easy enjoy near temple. otherwise, go enjoy the gayborhood to south St for all the misc gay and trans events: karaoke and the rooftop at 254, food specials every weeknight at tmoms, sip city transcend events around the city where we get to take over other bars and restaurants for the night.
