food & fun in philly :: a photo essay
Doesn't it seem like weekends end before they've really begun?
Friday afternoon, I had lunch with my friend Violet at vegan-friendly Remedy. This Vietnamese hoagie was quite a mid-day treat.
Saturday breakfast was my Double Apple Cake and a tall soy cappucino.
This afternoon, Omniman and I went to the Philly Greenfest. It was heartening to see a gathering of so many people who are concerned about the environment.
Music filled the air....
We took in displays by environmentally responsible companies like Worm Poop. 
Vegetable sculptures enchanted both children and adults alike...
And I never get tired of looking at the kaleidoscopic "magic garden" that local artist Isaiah Zagar built.....
For lunch, we stopped at Gianna's for vegan cheesesteaks--our guilty pleasure.
Free is my favorite price, and we came home with fun freebies, including laundry detergent, dryer sheets, and four luscious mini-Larabars [Key Lime and Chocolate-Coffee were our favorites].
And so ends my fabulous, too-short weekend of food, friends, and festivals.

Looks like you had a wonderful weekend. I've never been to Philadelphia, but would love to visit. It's beautiful!
What a fun festival! Always nice to see others concerned for the environment. Did anyone at the festival make a connection between factory farming and the environment? This seems too often overlooked (i.e. inconvienent truth, haven't checkout out 11th hour yet)...
And oh my, I would certainly have the same guitly pleasure if I could get that sandwich down here!
Vegan diet is good for our environment. Vegan diet reduces global warming.
Factory farming has a huge negative impact on the environment.
I guess there would be more vegans if only they knew about the connection between factory farming and the environment.
You were so busy this weekend! The vegan sandwich looks really satisfying.
Ooh I love Gianna's!
ah, yet another amazing photo essay of your adventures in Philly, urban vegan!! love it!! the festival looks particularly entertaining; and I love the mini Larabars, haha - I'm addicted to Larabars, but I've never seen the sample size that you got :0)
I really wish I could have joined you at this Green Fair! Love all the photos you shared. Just curious if anybody was making the connection between global warming and meat production? You might also enjoy the book "Fantasy Worlds" by Deidi von Schaewen & John Maizels -- it a coffe table book with pictures of artwork from all over the world similar to "The Secret Garden." and YEAh for free Lara Bars!! :)
that art display looks fascinating. like you could look at it for hours and still not see evrything.
i love larabars...all raw!
That hoagie looks fantastic!
you always seem to have lovely times.
I never thought much about Philly before stumbling across your blog but you have opened my eyes and one of these days I will visit - if for no other reason than to eat a vegan Philly cheesesteak and to devour a treat from Gianna's.
Sounds like a wonderful weekend - and yes, you're right some seem over before they've even begun. Free is my favorite price too.
Philly cheese steak was my favorite pre-veg sandwich. I would LOVED a veggie one! YUM.
You had such a fun-filled packed weekend no wonder it whizzed by.
Looks like a great weekend. So cool to have festivals and excitement right on your doorstep, especially with lunch like that vegan cheese steak!
Greenfest was fun! Like you, I was hoping for more veg foos, although I did eat my fair share of LaraBars. *smirks* Isn't it wonderful to be meatless in Philly!
looks like a sinful weekend!
Looks like you had a great time!
I absolutely adore anything with bread... not so good for the bod though... lol
Mais c'est siiiii bon... ;-)
Outdoor events like that are always fun- lots going on!
That festival looks so fun- and you know I'm all about free samples!! oooh, and Vietnamese sandwiches are my favorites. you have me craving one now. Great weekend post.
Weekends are like flashes, Sunday night arrives before you know it!
Looks like a fun festival, I love those sculptures.
The last 2 times I was in Philly Gianna's was closed, one of those times it was by birthday :( The universe is trying to keep me and cheesesteak apart, but why?
MMM... double apple cake, so moist and scrumptious looking!
The Philly Greenfest looks like it was a fun and successful day. And no one can ever complain about free stuff. I love LARA bars and have had all the regular flavors- how did the other 2 compare?
Sounds like a fantastic weekend filled with vegan festivities!
Oohh, vegan philly cheesesteak..and Vietnamese hoagies, two of the best sammiches ever.
Vegan cheese steaks. I am so intrigued. And hungry.
Cheers!
great photos! fun weekend!
I'm so jealous. I didn't get a chance to taste the cheesesteak last time I was in Philly, but it looks yummie!!
:D free is my fav price too. The cheesesteak looks delicious yum! I like the vegetable sculpture too, but I hope the veggies dun go to waste after that.
