City Notes is born from a conversation. Part interview and part travel guide, City Notes takes its readers on a humble tour of a metropolis through the eyes of a creative professional. It’s an idiosyncratic close reading, an interview with a place via the loyalty and loves of some of its most prestigious ambassadors. In this edition wejetset follows Joey Sweeney – editor & co-founder of Philebrity – on a tour of his city, where he highlights his favorite places to eat, stay, see, relax & live.

“I was born in ’72 so I came of age in Philly at a period that history will probably remember as a bummer time for the city. A lot of jobs dried up; whole wide blocks were just completely rotten or blighted. Ed Rendell was mayor here for a large part of the ’90s and he was magnetic, and he really loved the city of Philadelphia, and things started changing. Ever since then—and even almost despite the Street administration, which followed Rendell’s—the city just kept on reinventing itself. One by one, little neighborhoods would start to get hot, and different things would be happening, whether it was a restaurant or venue or a retail movement. Sometimes it would just be the case of people moving to a neighborhood and really taking care of their homes. Gradually, a place that was always touted as a city of neighborhoods actually became a city of great neighborhoods…” Get your copy of City Notes to find out more about Joey and his love for Philadelphia.
