Taylor Swift & Chit Chat

It’s been radio silence since the Super Bowl, but the Swifthearts are back! Yes, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have finally reemerged after months under the radar—and where did they pop up? Right here in Philly, making their first appearance since Easter 2024. Back then, they spent the weekend cozied up at Jason and Kylie Kelce’s place in Havertown. This time, the lovebirds were spotted at Talula’s Garden in Society Hill, joined by their moms, Donna Kelce and Andrea Swift, and of course, new parents Jason and Kylie and BABY FINN, who was held by Kylie during brunch. The superstar squad of six had a 10 a.m. brunch reservation.

Now here’s where things get extra sweet—literally! Talula’s brunch dessert menu is cheekily titled “Sweet Nothings,” which just might be a wink to Swift’s dreamy ballad “Sweet Nothing” from her 2022 Midnights album. And if that’s not enough to make a Swiftie swoon, each of the five dessert options is priced at $13—Taylor’s famously lucky number. Coincidence? We think not.

With their families blending over brioche and “Sweet Nothings,” it sure looks like true love for these two chart-topping sweethearts.

PS Talula’s Garden is also a fav of Bey and JayZ when they produced the Made in America concert over Labor Day in Philly. That festival seems to have run it’s course. BUT don’t fret, have you heard LL Cool J and Jazmin Sullivan are performing at the Philly July 4th Concert?

PS I don’t know who took the photo of Travis and Taylor, and I would love to credit you. Please drop me a note.

Marisa Magnatta IG Post. Also support Marisa in her quest: I’m excited to be nominated for the American Heart Association Go Red for Women movement’s Woman of Impact campaign.

Heartbreaking, and strange. Have you heard that WMMR’s Kathy Romano was let go of the Preston and Steve Show after on 93.3 WMMR after 22 years because her contract was not renewed by Beasley Media Group, the station’s owner.

Romano confirmed her departure from WMMR through a post on Instagram. She stilled showed up to support her long time co-workers and friends at the MMR BBQ over the weekend.

Also making an appearance—rock royalty with a fun twist! Bush stepped in for Alice In Chains, who had to bow out at the last minute, and absolutely brought the energy. Frontman Gavin Rossdale delivered a powerhouse performance, hyping up the crowd and even strolling into the lawn seats at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion to connect with fans up close.

Offstage, Gavin kept the good vibes going. He was spotted over the weekend at the Ritz-Carlton, happily chatting with fans in the lobby, and later doing a bit of shopping along Walnut Street, as well as spotted in Rittenhouse Square on Sunday. With sunshine and great music in the air, it was the perfect day to be out and about.

And that’s just what Mike and I did today—we escaped to the countryside for one of our favorite simple pleasures: a good old-fashioned Sunday drive. Yep, that’s us cruising along at Amish buggy speed, sometimes with the hazards blinking, pulled over to chat with cows and snap a few photos along the way.

On Saturday, I spent the day at the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge with The Incolor Birding Club—a Philly-based birding group created for BIPOC birders and their allies. Birding with a group always adds an extra layer of fun, especially when there are knowledgeable leaders who can help identify the birds you’re spotting. (I’m also part of a few birding MeetUp groups—it’s a great way to stay connected and keep exploring!)

This week, Philly’s birding community is buzzing with excitement thanks to a rare sighting at John Heinz Nature Preserve! Local birder Marty Dellwo spotted a White-faced Ibis among a flock of Glossy Ibis—a potential first-ever county record for this species in Philadelphia! While they look quite similar, the White-faced Ibis in breeding plumage shows some telltale differences: a white outline framing a reddish face, bright red eyes, a grayish bill, and vivid red legs. (Photo credit to Martin Dellwo)

Fun fact—Marty’s actually the one who introduced me to birding about ten years ago. We were already friends, and one morning he finally convinced me to tag along at 5 a.m. Let’s just say… that early start didn’t become a habit (I was definitely not a morning person back then!).

The social season is in full swing and off to an incredible start! I’ve been photographing a whirlwind of events and reconnecting with so many familiar faces—it’s been nonstop. We’re fully booked through the end of June, so if you’re hoping to schedule something, July and August are wide open!

That said, I definitely need to carve out some time to recharge and dive into a few personal hobbies—balance is key, right? In the meantime, stay tuned! I’ll be sharing fresh event coverage right here on PhillyChitChat throughout the week. Thanks!!

Socially Yours, HughE

Are You A Super Pham?

The Philadelphia Visitor Center Corporation launch of their Phambassadors program. This initiative seeks to enlist more than 10,000 enthusiastic advocates for Philadelphia over the next two years, building a vibrant community whose civic pride and impact will help define how the city is perceived and experienced in 2026 and into the future.

I was asked to be one of the super Pham’s to help get the initial word out to folks like me, and you who are huge fans of Philadelphia.

The event kicked off with a pep rally worthy of Philadelphia, with mascots, a drum line,

Swoop, Fang and legendary radio personality Patty Jackson

Philadelphia dignitaries and most importantly PHILADELPHIANS!!

Max Weisman, Comm Director for Isaiah Thomas and Brenda Exon, The Philly Flag Lady. founder of the nonprofit Partners for Civic Pride. She is known for promoting the history and display of Philadelphia’s city flag and fostering civic pride. Exon also wears costumes inspired by the flag’s design to educate children about its significance. 

Invested Phambassadors who progress through the program will be invited to participate in Pham Camp, an immersive, one-of-a-kind experience designed to deepen participants’ love for Philly and equip them with the knowledge and inspiration to share it with the world.

Nicole Cashman and Cashman & Associates was on hand to organize the event, and corral the parade participants as they entered Love Park for the rally.

With a nostalgic nod to summer camp, Pham Camp brings people together through discovery, celebration, and hands-on learning. Phambassadors will gain insider access, discover hidden gems, and tap into the vibrant energy that sets Philadelphia apart, leaving them inspired, informed, and ready to represent the city. There’s also a Pham Clubhouse, located at 15th and JFK at that visitor center.

Kathryn Ott Lovell, President and CEO of the Philadelphia Visitor Center Corporation

“Philadelphia has an X Factor—a grit, passion, and an undeniable energy that only those who have experienced it can understand. But too often, the outside world sees an incomplete version of our city’s story. The Phambassador program is here to change that,” said Kathryn Ott Lovell, President & CEO of Philadelphia Visitor Center Corporation. “This initiative will create a powerful platform that unites Philadelphia’s most passionate advocates to amplify the city’s strengths and redefine its global reputation.”

The Phambassador program is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing participants to engage at different levels based on their interest and availability.

“As we approach the nation’s 250th anniversary in 2026, we have an incredible opportunity to tap into the people who know Philadelphia best — our residents — to amplify and celebrate everything that makes our city so special,” said Angela Val, president and CEO of Visit Philadelphia. “The Phambassador program is a powerful extension of Visit Philadelphia’s Civic Pride work, which treats the city itself as our sixth team — one we root for through good times and bad. We’re unlocking the pride that already lives here, giving residents more ways to share their stories, represent their neighborhoods and show off their favorite small businesses. There’s nothing like Philadelphia pride, and we’re thrilled to team up with the Visitor Center to bring this to life.”

Phambassador Michelle Freeman, Witty Gritty and Ronnie Polaneczky, the Phambassadors Organizational Recruitment Outreach Strategist,

Whether by supporting civic events and promoting good news online, volunteering to welcome visitors at key events, or helping uncover Philadelphia’s hidden gems, there is a place for everyone in this citywide movement.

Sheila Hess a natural selection for a Phambassador. Does anyone love this City more than she. She’s also the coordinator for us super Pham’s.

Philadelphia Author Padraic Maroney

Philadelphia Author Padraic Maroney Dives Into Death’s Design in His Explosive New Book on the Final Destination Films – Escaping Death: The Unauthorized Story Behind the Final Destination Movies. An unflinching look behind the scenes of one of horror’s most iconic and twisted franchises—exploring the accidental genius, backstage conflicts, and eerie real-life events that paralleled the deadly fate sequences that made Final Destination a cult phenomenon.

Last week Maroney held a book launch party to celebrate the official release of his latest book: Escaping Death: The Unauthorized Story Behind the Final Destination Movies, at one of the best named eateries in Philly, as well as one of the best vegan places according to my vegan hubby Mike Toub>> Monster Vegan.

Lizzy F. Anthony Feola, Brian Finnerty, Padraic Maroney and Rayna Barnard

Friends and family filled the room to capacity to celebrate Maroney’s 2nd book. It took Maroney three years of research and interviews in order to complete the Final Destination
book. “My aim is to celebrate the franchise, but also let people know what it was like to be on set through the stories from the people who were there. While the chances of these situations arising in real life are slim, it’s never zero. Many of the memorable moments from the franchise are
inspired by true events,
” said Maroney.

Meghan Rasmussen, John Masino III, Lynn Masino, Mallory Wolff and Judy Wolff

This unauthorized exposé pulls back the curtain on how a modest X-Files spec script snowballed into a box office juggernaut and sparked a cultural obsession with fate, death, and Rube Goldberg-style doom. Through interviews, leaked memos, and untold stories from the set, this book/documentary (depending on your vision) uncovers:

  • The origins of the original idea—and how it almost never got made
  • The battles with studios over gore vs. suspense
  • Behind-the-scenes near-death experiences that spooked the cast and crew
  • The evolution of practical effects into CGI nightmares
  • Canceled scripts, spin-offs, and the franchise’s odd connections to real-world tragedies
Final Destination producer Craig Perry popped in for a visit during the launch party.

Fan theories, Easter eggs, and the creeping idea that Death really does have a design. And did someone say Easter eggs, Maroney told those in attendance that the front and back cover of the book was full of Easter eggs!!

Colleen Baillie, Mark Anderson, Ruth Wright and Anthony Flamini
Hey that’s me!! Nicole Michalik, aka Nik the Web Chick you can listen to her everyday on WXTU, author Padraic Maroney and Dr. Jennifer Caudle, DO, FACOFP, is a board-certified osteopathic family medicine physician who appears on social media and television to talk about health (Photo taken by Mike Toub)

Padraic Maroney is an entertainment writer with nearly three decades of experience and the author of It All Began With A Scream, a behind-the-scenes deep dive into the Scream movie franchise. When he’s not immersed in horror films or writing about them, he’s either attempting to master the drums or hitting the pavement in pursuit of race medals. He proudly completed the New York City Marathon in 2021—an experience he swears was more terrifying than any horror film he’s ever watched. Pick up his latest book Escaping Death: The Unauthorized Story Behind the Final Destination Movies

Philly Dining Out For Life

52045087471_09a653a1ee_k.jpg

It’s back, Philadelphia’s longest-running and most beloved dining event is back and marking a major anniversary! Action Wellness presents the 35th Annual Dining Out for Life® on Thursday, April 24, 2025, featuring over 40 participating restaurants. I remember going to the first one, where only a handful of restaurants participated, but the following year it was a Citywide celebration, with a lot of support.

Philadelphia’s longest-running and most beloved dining event is back and marking a major anniversary!

Action Wellness presents the 35th Annual Dining Out for Life® on Thursday, April 24, 2025, featuring over 40 participating restaurants.

For 2025, this year’s restaurant line-up reads like a who’s who of the region’s most award-winning restaurants, with notable names such as Barclay Prime, Bistro Romano, Buddakan, Butcher and Singer, DaVinci & Yu, El Vez, Frankford Hall, Gilda, Giorgio on Pine,Good Dog Bar, LMNO, The Love, Mamajuana Cafe, Morimoto, P’unk Burger, P.J. Clarke’s, Parc, Positano Coast by Aldo Lamberti, Sophie’s BBQ, Stina, Talula’s Garden, Taqueria Amor, The Continental Midtown, The Dandelion, Villa Di Roma, Wilder and many more. Hours vary by restaurant. Reservations are encouraged in advance.

“My favorite part of the event is the community aspect and simplicity of it,” said Action Wellness Development Coordinator Kevin Vuernick. “I have made it a point to dine out during this event for as long as I can remember. Inevitably you always see a longtime friend or acquaintance who is also dining out to support the cause. Going out to eat is something so many of us do regularly without thinking about it. The hardest part for me is deciding where to eat! The decision about whether to go to an old familiar haunt or go to one of the wonderful new places or somewhere I have yet to try is always the most difficult. But each year the one thing I know is it is always so rewarding.”

Funds raised from Dining Out For Life (DOFL) Philadelphia go to Action Wellness to support more than 2,000 clients and their families through the provision of life-sustaining services. HIV and its impact is felt especially by those in low-income and historically marginalized communities. According to the Philadelphia Department of Public Health there are 18,000 people living with HIV in Philadelphia.
