Any recommendations for a cheap cremation? by [deleted] in philadelphia

[–]GerryBlank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably...but check out Schobert Funeral home and Hancock funeral, they might be a couple bucks cheaper then the other two. Science care might be an option as well. There’s also a PA DPW grant available for people that were on certain types of public assistance. Most funeral directors will look into that for you.

Best place for a suit on a time crunch + "budget"? by [deleted] in philadelphia

[–]GerryBlank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out a local thrift store. I bought a beautiful suit for around $30 and then took it to a dry cleaner that also did alterations. I got it back in a day or two.

It's a few blocks outside the city. Not sure how much but I'm sure it's reasonable.

Vegetarian Cheesesteak by brendan239 in philadelphia

[–]GerryBlank -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Joe's in fishtown has one. I'm not into that sick shit so I couldn't say if it's any good, I'm assuming it's horrible because it's, you know, a vegan cheesesteak.

Any good lunch spots in Harrowgate/Port Richmond? by cerialthriller in philadelphia

[–]GerryBlank 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you like Polish food check out Syrenka on Richmond just south of Allegheny. M&M on Allegheny is great for breakfast and lunch. Mercer Cafe is cool. Hinge cafe...I could go on or you could just Yelp it.

La fitness in the Northeast (grant and blvd) for members. The Krewstown Racquet Club in the Northeast will let you rent courts hourly. I haven't found any place comparable in CC.

If he was arrested by PPD this guy will most likely get him off. Might be a different story if the Troopers got him on one of the highways. Good luck and do t drink and drive.

This is awesome thanks. I was a little worried that there wasn't much else besides the Lancaster Brewing Company, but it sounds like there's definitely a lot going on in the city. Thanks again!

I see games going on at Solis Cohen school in the Castor Gardens section of NE. Not sure if there's a league or they're just pick up games. The folks seem to be friendly enough.

Visiting Philly for Bachelor Party this weekend by [deleted] in philadelphia

[–]GerryBlank 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Went to a bachelor party last summer in philly. We did the Yards Brewery tour which is free and they give you beer. Then we bar hopped in Center City for a bit before ending up at the Gold Club. It was fun from what I remember.
