So, with that in mind: *rumages through pockets for a crude cut-out of a heart on red construction paper with glitter and lace glued on it* Philly, will you be our valentine? Here are all the things we love about you:
- The first bite of Lorenzo's pizza at 2:07am on a Friday night.
- The blackened green beans at Grace Tavern
- Drinking on the sly at Liberty Lands
- Karaoke at Ray's Happy Birthday Bar
- Hearing a Prince song at 700 club when you are out dancing with your sister
- The first swig of a Kenzinger Beer at your friend's barbecue
- Capogiro's sea salt and dark chocolate gelato
- Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz's bow tie
- Leafing through the new issue of the Philadelphia Weekly
- Snacking on freshly made pretzels at midnight
- Figuring out which place to go to for brunch (The Abbaye is our fave, but Honey's is a close second)
- Sarcone's rolls
- The yummy yuppie Tex-Mex at Mad Mex
- Scopin' out hot dudes in Rittenhouse Square Park
- Pierogy Wednesdays at Tattooed Mom's
- Playing quizzo somewhere divey
- Reading The Metro on your way to work, looking up your horoscope and ignoring the Sports section
- Hearing a song from the Singles soundtrack playing at McGlinchys
- Running into your old roommate at Johnny Brenda's
- Sharing a margarita pitcher at Cantina
- Rocktits! spinning records at the POPE
- Casually perusing the "I Love You/ I Hate You"s in The Citypaper
- Having your apartment lovingly packed up by those Mambo Movers
- Taking sloppy photos in The Barbary's photobooth then posting them up on your fridge the next day
- All the rad artists, musicians, and writers that give this city its soul

This is perfect. Makes Valentine's Day that much less depressing. I love this city!
Philly, I love your bad attitude, your bad accent and your hoagies. Christ, do I love hoagies.
