the frida kahlo exhibit was great. hearing about her life is always fascinating, sad, and really inspiring. no pictures were allowed in the exhibit. but i did take some of my favorites from the permanent collection, which was wonderful too.

we had breakfast at honey’s sit n eat, thanks to joy’s d*s philly guide. yum. and we had time in the afternoon to check out a few stores on 3rd street. i loved a dress at vagabond, and some very expensive mid century modern furniture. we found a place to get veggie falafel for lunch, and then headed back to brooklyn…

    i don’t remember the exact price, but i do remember that it was very expensive! the store was across the street from vagabond, on 3rd street.

  13. hah. scrolling halfway down i thought “hmm looks like the PMA” and then there was vagabond! looks like you had a nice time.

  14. That looks so delicious, I didn’t know there was a Friday exhibit traveling the country. It’s now an hour away from me in San Fran. Thanks for the tip.
