Charlie visited Chez Bow in Northern Liberties




Chez Bow Wow in Northern Liberties
Last week we got our cat Charlie shaved and groomed at Chez Bow Wow in Northern Liberties. Whenever we bring him home, he is like a new cat. He is more limber and runs around like a mad man. The first time we brought him home, our other cat Ashley did not recognize for a day ! My wife Stephanie loves it for there is less hair to clean up and less hairballs ! He complains about going in the cat box but we think he really likes it afterwards !



Chez Bow Wow is a relatively new addition to Northern Liberties at Liberties Walk. The staff is always very pleasant and fun. There are always a number of other pets there which makes it a fun trip.


The store is certainly a great addition to Northern Liberties and we would recommend to go there for anyone who is intersted in getting their pet groomed !

Check out the website for Chez Bow Wow !
Also look at their photo gallery - a lot of great snapshots !
Maybe I can bribe them to add Charlie to their site ???

Cantina Dos Segundos - A Real Treat in Northern Liberties !


Cantina Dos Segundos - an awesome addition to Northern Liberties !


My wife Stephanie and I took a break from our workaholic schedule and the craziness of the philadelphia real estate market to enjoy dinner at Cantina Dos Segundos (otherwise knows as the restaurant that replaced Azure ) at 931 N 2nd St - see google map.What a treat ! We used to go to Azure at least once a week so we were very sad and disappointed when Azure closed. We just figured that the new restaurant would be the run of the mill Mexican joint.


We were pleasantly suprised ! We were started with delicious nachos and salsa - very fresh and appealing - was a great way to break in with a drink. Stephanie really enjoyed her red wine ! We ordered mini octopus for an appetizer and carne asada for an entre. Both dishes were delicious - we were in heaven !The service was superb and the atmosphere was a delight. We found out from our server that the name stood for "2 seconds" and it was the 2nd Cantina (first one is in South Philly) and of course it is on 2nd St (in Northern Liberties) If you have not gone as yet, we would highly recommend it !


Our Azure Blues are officially over (it took awhile) !
