If I am anywhere near Chinatown, I stop at EMei. Always packed. Always buzzing. Serious food, no shortcuts, real consistency. Amazing to watch my friend Dan build a true Chinatown cornerstone. Philly is better because EMei exists. #ChinatownPhilly #PhillyEats #EMei

Happy New Year. Grateful for the lessons, the relationships, and the work that matters. Looking ahead with clarity and optimism, focused on consistency, collaboration, and showing up the right way. Wishing health, progress, and success to all. Happy New Year.

Weekend reset at the shoreline. Cold air, long walks, and waves doing their eternal work. Perspective shows up when the noise drops. Clearer priorities, deeper focus, and forward motion that feels intentional. The calendar can wait. The tide will not.

Philly nights hit different at STATIC. Perfect Sazerac. Electric room. Ran into an old friend. Everything lined up exactly right. Support local food and beverage always. #StaticPhilly #PhillyCocktails #SupportLocalPhilly

Cirque Dreams Holidaze is pure holiday joy. Jaw dropping talent. Big Broadway energy. Sold out crowd. And the Miller Theater doing what it does best with soul and history. Family magic. Date night win. Philly magic all around. Bravo.

Ain’t no party like a Jeff Bradshaw party. SOUTH was electric. The band was locked. The room was alive. This is why live jazz matters and why SOUTH exists. If you were there you felt it. If not you missed one. 🎷

Public media matters. WHYY shows up, listens, and serves communities with care and integrity. Local journalism like this is foundational to a strong civic life. #WHYY #PublicMedia

Boston built food forests and communities followed. This is what the Right to Food looks like in real life. Philadelphia could do this right now if we chose to. Food forests are infrastructure not charity.

A toy truck. 35000 pounds of food. One city lifted up. Sharing Excess turned food rescue into real system change this week delivering dignity not waste across Philly. Proud to stand with Evan Ehlers and this movement. This is the future. #SharingExcess #FeedPhillyCoalition #EndHunger #PhillyStrong

One of those nights that restores your faith in humanity. Cooking, laughing, and building community with incredible young people at HopePHL. The future is in very good hands.

Gather Food Hall in University City is redefining what hospitality can be in Philly. Beautiful food hall. Local chefs. Real community impact. They are committing to 5000 free meals for college students facing hunger. This is what the future of food looks like. Support it.

All the same person. Harry Hayman Harry G. Hayman IV Harry Hayman IV Harrison Graham Hayman IV Different contexts. One me.

One of the most soul stretching music experiences in Philadelphia. Exuberance is a listening room where jazz is sacred and presence matters. Deep respect to Matt Yaple and the brilliance of Sumi Tonooka and The Alchemy Sound Project. Philly needs more of this.

🎷 SOUTH Restaurant & Jazz Club is firing on all cylinders! Exceptional service, food to die for, perfect cocktails & world-class jazz in an atmosphere that's second to none. Haven't visited recently? Now's your moment to experience what makes SOUTH special ✨ #PhillyJazz #SOUTHPhilly

S.O.A.R. Took SOUTH to church in Philadelphia. April and Randall brought pure electricity with soaring vocals and fearless musicianship. One of those unrepeatable Philly moments. Exactly the kind of artistry WHYY exists to spotlight. #SOAR #AprilAndRandall #LiveAtSOUTH #PhillyJazz #OnlyInPhilly

Philadelphia — check out “The Listening Cabinet” at Penn! Open a drawer, answer a question, and spark real conversations about democracy, happiness, and connection. Simple, intimate, profound. #TheListeningCabinet #PennLiveArts #PhiladelphiaArts #CivicDialogue #PhillyCulture

Just saw MOMIX’s Alice in Philly and my brain is still spinning. Not a dance show — pure visual magic. Bodies morphed, disappeared, multiplied. Wonderland IRL. Don’t miss it next time. #MOMIX #Alice #PhillyArts #WHYYCelebratesPhilly #SupportTheArts

Some meals feed your hunger. HoneySuckle feeds your soul. Congrats to Omar Tate on the Pew Fellowship — well-deserved recognition of Black culinary brilliance in Philly. Don’t miss it. #HoneySuckle #OmarTate #PhillyFood #WHYYCelebratesPhilly #SupportLocalRestaurants

Visited The Alan Horwitz “Sixth Man” Center powered by Philadelphia Youth Basketball. Kids learning, mentors guiding, Philly’s future being built. Whyy does this matter? Because it changes lives. Harry Hayman

Beautiful piece by @alishainthebiz for @resy capturing the heart and soul of SOUTH. From the jazz club to the Southern hospitality, it shows why SOUTH is a Philly treasure. Grateful for the care in telling our story. Full article: https://f.mtr.cool/hjyewkpvko

The new Finanta Credit Union branch in Aramingo Village brings real financial inclusion to a neighborhood that has long lacked it. Fair lending, support for entrepreneurs, and community centered banking make this a major step forward for Philadelphia’s local economy.

The State of North Broad event showed a corridor gaining real speed. Investment is growing, leaders are aligned, and momentum is visible everywhere. North Broad is not emerging. It is accelerating and the future is arriving quickly.

Tuesday at The Velvet Whip was a creative explosion. Margel Overton, Dan Klapowitz, Joey Stixx, Candace The Bandit, and Jakeya Limitless turned the room into pure artistic voltage. Miss it and you miss the movement. Next Tuesday is another portal.

San Francisco sues Big Food for ultraprocessed harms—diabetes, heart disease, obesity, mental health crises. The era of looking away is over. https://f.mtr.cool/tpaqksriiy

Proud to support Ellen Rosenberg and Santander. Cultivate Small Business began here and is now reaching all fifty states. A Philly idea growing into a national platform for food entrepreneurs. Applications are open.

In the 1800s it had no national date. Sarah Josepha Hale spent 17 years fighting for one shared day. Lincoln made it official in 1863 to unite the nation. A holiday built on gratitude and persistence.

Brazil cut severe food insecurity by eighty five percent in a single year and lifted fourteen point seven million people out of extreme hunger. A rare national turnaround that shows what focused policy and political will can achieve.

Five years of impact worth celebrating Dwyane Wharton and JUST Strategies are showing Philadelphia what justice driven leadership looks like. They center community voice, drive real accountability, and build strategies that actually change lives. Honored to be in their orbit. Philadelphia needs this

Philadelphia deserves media that digs in and lifts up solutions. The Philadelphia Citizen’s purchase of Philadelphia Magazine is a huge moment for our city. Here’s to journalism that stands with the people and chases solutions. Check them out — Philly’s future is being written.

Philadelphia, stop admiring good ideas — start applying them. Ideas We Should Steal gives us proven solutions, not panels or slogans. Pilot something. Policy something. Fund something. Scale something. F'N do something. #IdeasWeShouldSteal #PhillyDeservesThis #DoTheWork #CivicInnovation

Excited about our talks with Plant ARC at UPenn. Their plant resilience research aligns perfectly with our mission to strengthen local food and community impact. More to come. #PlantARC #UPenn #FutureOfFood #FeedPhilly

What a day. What a FAM. Broad Street Love’s Open House + Clothing and Hygiene Drive brought real Philly love to life. Energy, care, respect, zero judgment. Mad respect to Laure, Larry, Nate, Katy, Councilmember Squilla, and Andrew for showing up. Plug in however you can. #BroadStreetLove

"What does it matter?" That thought feels small but it is holding us all back. Nearly thirty percent of the world faces food insecurity and so much food is still lost or wasted. Your everyday choices can protect the environment and help your community.

A tick bite may turn your immune system against red meat — and it can be deadly. Alpha-gal syndrome is rising, hidden, and often undiagnosed. We need better food education, transparency, and labeling before more lives are lost. Stay curious. Stay aware.

I walked in expecting the usual. I walked out feeling like I’d been in a masterclass, a revival, and a strategy summit all at once. Solomon Jones and ManUpPHL are shaping the next generation. This is what real leadership looks like. #ManUp #NextGeneration #DoTheWork

Shadow Cities at the Annenberg Center was unreal. Ephrat Asherie Dance and Arturo O Farrill turned the stage into a living city made of rhythm and magic. Huge love to Christopher and Penn Arts for bringing this to life. Philly showed up and the arts showed out.

Six sold-out shows. One unforgettable experience. Brandee Younger didn’t just play the harp—she summoned it, weaving protest, grace, and fire into a sonic uprising. Philadelphia felt it, and so did every heart in the room. #HarpRevolution #JazzIsNow #SOUTHJazzClub

The Source of Self Regard at InLiquid Gallery is on another level. Curated by Tayyib Smith, it celebrates Black interior life, creativity, and love through powerful work by six incredible Philly artists. See it before November twenty nine. #TheSourceOfSelfRegard #PhillyArts #BlackArt

Buying local is how Philly feeds itself and heals itself. Every dollar spent on local produce keeps money in our neighborhoods and strengthens our food economy. Support your farmers. Support your city. This is how real change starts. #BuyLocal #FeedLocal #PhillyFood

The U.S. wastes nearly forty percent of its food, costing families and harming the planet. France proved change is possible by requiring supermarkets to donate edible food. If more countries followed, we could save billions, feed millions, and cut emissions. #StopFoodWaste

Thank you Speaker Joanna McClinton for sharing such inspiring words at SouthSide Events and Catering. Her vision for fairness opportunity and real community investment aligns perfectly with PA Feeds PA. Grateful for her leadership and excited for what comes next. #Leadership #Pennsylvania

Kim Scott just lit up SOUTH with a level of jazz energy Philly will be talking about for a long time. Two sold out shows and a room full of people floating home on pure joy. SOUTH loves you Kim. Philly loves you. Come back soon. #KimScott #JazzMagic #SOUTHJazzClub #LiveMusicIsLife #PhiladelphiaJazz

Broad Street Love is pure compassion in action. Warm meals, real dignity, and radical hospitality for all. Join the open house and drive on Saturday or help them get the fridge they urgently need.
