Woolly Mammoth
Let me begin
with what I hope will become a classic Philadelphia blessing: "Proud and
weary citizens of Philadelphia/May you never find your car overturned in a
sports riot/May you eat well, and often/And may you never, ever find yourself
on South Street." Okay, okay, I know: South Street has its uses. Pearl is a great art
store, the TLA (sometimes) and the Philly Improv Theater (quite often) have
good shows, and the clearance area at Bare Feet Shoes has good finds (if you
can get back there). But when I think about free-time activities I enjoy, 'forcing my way through gaggles of New
Jersey teenagers' is last on my list. Still,
sometimes the best of us find ourselves on South Street, and sometimes we have
needs: drinking. Specifically: grabbing a six pack. Thus I recommend to you
Woolly Mammoth, which has a lovely selection of bottled beers and will gladly
mix them into a take-out six-pack for you. I don't necessarily recommend drinking
here--every time I've gone, the music has been astonishingly loud, and Tattooed
Mom's is right up the street--but let them fill all of your brown-bagging
needs.
