From the 212 to the 215

One of my clients, Robert Marshall, author of A Separate Reality, is giving a reading from his electric debut novel -- described by The Washington Post as "remarkably vivid" and  "as good an encapsulation of adolescence as you're likely to read"  -- next Thursday in Philadelphia and since I have only been there once or twice and the event is fairly early (5:30pm), I'm thinking about going down and spending the afternoon in the city and then attending. Any Lux Lotus readers in Philly these days? If so, drop me a line. Also, please divulge in the comments any secret obsessions that you're willing to share: cafe, art, culture, vintage shopping et al suggestions in the Center City area are most welcome.
