Spooky Scary Skeletons is how the song goes but not at 3rd and Delancey, where it’s literally out of space. Stopped off at this storied house to see this years theme, which is aliens invade Earth and cart off the humans, lol. Delancey Street from 2nd to 22nd transforms into a haunted runway of Halloween magic. 🎃✨
Grab your friends, your boo, or your little goblins—no matter the age—and take a spine-tingling stroll up Delancey. It’s one of Philly’s most festive walks on Halloween night.
I think the weather is supposed to be frightful that night, but I own an umbrella and I’ll be looking for youse. 👻
Congrats to Vince Stango, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the National Constitution Center and Co-Chair of the Philadelphia Historic District 250th Committee and Amy Needle, President and CEO of Historic Philadelphia, Inc. and Co-Chair of the Philadelphia Historic District 250th Committee on the successful launch of 52 Weeks of Firsts campaign.
52 Weeks of Firsts
The 52 Weeks of Firsts will kick off during the First First Week, January 3-8, 2026, with the very First Saturday Firstival honoring America’s first hot air balloon. The First Hot Air Balloon Flight Saturday Firstival will take place Saturday, January 3 at the Athenaeum of Philadelphia in the Historic District, near the site where the first balloon took flight.
It’s going to be a blast. Here is the list of 52 things you’ll want to experience in 2026.
A friend sent me this photo of Bradley Cooper in Jeff Lurie’s Eagles Super Box yesterday. I love everything about it.
Kristie and her friends were excited to spot Landon Dickerson and Jordan Mailata at Elephant at 1500 Locust recently.
👀 Something new is brewing at 1414 S Penn Square… @ Ritz Residences Everyone’s favorite waterfront café may have closed earlier this year, but I just spotted work inside and a shiny liquor license application on the door. The name? Palm Vintage Cafe Sushi + Teas 🍣🫖
Speaking of New Food: Already opened Dig Inn is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its newest location at 901 Old York Road, Jenkintown, PA 19046 last month. This opening marks Dig Inn’s second location in the Philadelphia suburbs, following the debut of its Suburban Square restaurant in summer 2025. Business is bustling.
Also celebrating a month in business: Congratulations!!! 🎉 To Chivonn Anderson the founder and president Marsha’s South Street 🌈 Philadelphia’s newest safe space made for women, sports, community & pride.
It’s finally slowing down for me and I have a few minutes to catch you up with what’s happening. Look for more galas popping up on these pages in the next few weeks.
Thanks for your patience. Socially yours, xoxo HughE
