My friends suggested that we stop by the Punk Rock Flea Market, which was held at the armory…read more Hey - why not? An armory is a perfect place for a DIY punk show, so why couldn't one host a flea market? The event was a success. There were plenty of vendors who were selling everything from old vinyl to thrift clothing to homemade artwork and more - all with a punk rock attitude. The venue itself is a-ok. It's obviously an old military armory, complete with a few military artifacts. I'm not sure if it's still used for military purposes, however its website advertises it can be rented out for corporate expos, tradeshows, weddings and other events. There's plenty of space for all these things, though not many bells and whistles. A note - the bathrooms are downstairs. I didn't see an elevator, so you may want to inquire about one if you think your guests may need it.

My boyfriend and I showed up and it was just the two of us which made things more intimate which was exciting! The vibes are so cool.

She quickly walked us through what seemed like very easy instructions.....3 hours later we finally complete our lamps! There's so many different routes with designing your piece and I appreciate how they show you the traditional designs but also provide space for your own creativity. I definitely would recommend this workshop and happily will go to check out the other classes they offer.

We had our wedding here on 9/26/25 and everything was PERFECT! From the moment we walked into Union…read moreTrust for the first time while touring venues we knew this was where we wanted to get married. The building is an old bank that was built in the 1880's. It has so much character and the architecture is gorgeous. Perfect for an elegant, black-tie wedding. The first day we met with Chelsea who was bubbly, personable, and professional. She made sure everything went smoothly with negotiations and the contract. From then on, she did a fantastic job with communication throughout the next year leading up to wedding day (we missed her on the night of our wedding, unfortunately!). I really love how cocktail hour is on the 2nd floor overlooking the rest of the venue -- it makes for great views and great pictures. The venue comfortably held and accommodated our 125 guests. The food was also fantastic. I've had some pretty below average and mediocre food at weddings, but not here. For cocktail hour, Finley Catering offers 8 passed Hors d'Oeuvres (the steak tartare and lamb chops were the star of the show in my opinion!) and 3 stations (we went with a hot seafood station, a cold seafood station, and an Italian station). The offerings that came with each station were great and had remarkable variety. Lobster tail, crab claws, oysters, to name a few! The filet mignon entree was also one of the better filets I've had. Throughout the night we were treated so well by every single employee we encountered. Everyone that was working at Union Trust was respectful, gracious, professional, and would go out of their way to make us or our guests happy. From the night of our wedding still to this day, we had and still have friends and family members coming to us telling us how much fun they had. Comments to us about how beautiful the venue was and how spectacular the food was were common coming from our guests. I keep telling my wife to convince someone to get married at Union Trust so I can experience a wedding here as a guest. I couldn't have imagined a better day and much of that is thanks to not only my wife for all of her meticulous planning, but also to Union Trust and Finley Catering for being such an incredible venue. I am so happy and thankful we toured Union Trust and made the decision to have our wedding.

Some is passed around, my favorites are the lamb chop and shrimp coconut. Food is pretty good. Salmon is perfectly cooked. Yuca fries is addicting. My only criticism is the rice and beans that is clumpy and overcooked. . Dessert: cute and small cups of tiramisu, key lime meringue,panna cotta, there are some small cupcakes as well. All staff members are courteous and nice, clean up the dirty plates right away

I visit museums without pre-conceived notions, reading reviews generally after the fact. PAFA --…read moreas it's known -- is a good one. Founded in 1805 the academy is the first school and museum of fine arts in the United States. The historic landmark building is closed for renovations with three stories of exhibits now housed in their Hamilton Building (which is NOT named for Alexander!) Several things impacted me: the galleries are wide open, light and airy. A pleasure to walk through. A number of items from the Atwater Kent collection -- formerly the Philadelphia History Museum -- are on display. The diverse collection ranges from baseball, department stores (Wanamakers, anyone?), civil rights ... the list goes on. There is student and alumni art for sale and casts of Greek and Roman antiquity located in an active student workspace. As with most museums, exhibits change. The gift store with its friendly proprietor, is as good as any I've been to. A beautifully curated collection, and after Thanksgiving, I believe everything is discounted 30% for the holidays.

You can get wine by the glass or bottle but it's a way better value to get by the bottle based on the size of the pours. They had some funky natural wines, a few red and whites and rosés to choose from, as well as a few beers, seltzers and slices of tomato pie.

There are only maybe 6-8 dartboards so you may be waiting a while if you just walk in. This is a high-tech gaming situation. Everything is electronic (thank God) so no need to keep score or figure out if anyone in your party is cheating. You can select from several different games to challenge yourself. We chose the Limbo, Demolition, and Shanghai. You get instant replays of the winning moment, and they even send a sharable link to you for bragging rights! The saying "time flies when you're having fun" is paramount here, because we blinked and our 90 minutes were up. We wanted so badly to extend our time, but there was another party waiting for their turn. They have a comprehensive cocktail menu along with light bites and food. We attended post-dinner so only drinks for us. The team was super engaging and friendly. They thoroughly explained the process and ensured we were having a fun time. Check it out!
