The Studio C.L., the popular Rittenhouse Square salon specializing in dry cutting, has struck up a lovely deal with New York-based Johnny Wojtanowicz, bringing the celebrated stylist to Philadelphia once a month to help tame the tresses of the city.

There are some food combinations that go together as well as a pair of lovers in a sappy country song. Tomatoes and bleu cheese, chocolate and red wine … and burgers and fries. Greasy, filling and always comforting, this dynamic duo is simple to prepare but an art to perfect. Next time your lunch craving sets you on the streets in search of sustenance, head to one of these top restaurants for the best burger and fries in the city.

The sweet allure of the bakery is something no one can deny. Wedding cakes decorated to the nines with glitz and glamor, fresh breads straight from the oven and icing-dappled little pastries all have the ability to reduce me, nose to the display case, to sugar-hungry child. From trendy design-heavy firms to small neighborhood shops serving up ethnic delicacies, Philly is full of great spots to dive into a toothache. Check out these five haute picks for some dessert decadence.

It doesn’t take much to convince me to head to the shore. I love me some sun and some sand. This Wednesday, August 25, you can add some serious sky views to that list as shore goers enjoy one of the country’s most renown airshows taking flight above the Atlantic City boardwalk.

September traditionally marks the beginning of the “season,” a series of galas, balls, auctions and other special events that keep the city warm and entertained through the cold weather. Philadelphia is no stranger to this custom, with a slew of charitable events scheduled right through January. If you are looking to be seen and do a little good at the same time, try and nab one a coveted invite to one of these haute galas.

Depending on your crazy work hours, multiple club appearances and early morning boot camp work-outs, you probably spend about one-third of your life in bed. For even the most sleep-deprived person, that’s a big chunk of time. Philly-based Hollandia International is dedicated to making sure those sleepy moments are as luxurious as possible, and to that effect they have recently launched the first iPad-compatible bed.

Scoring a reservation at one of Philadelphia’s best-loved dining rooms isn’t enough; the truly haute make sure they are in the middle of the action by pulling up a chair to the chef’s table. With kitchen views, special menus and direct access to the team in chef whites, these tables turn supper into a spectacular. Check out one of these top five options next time you are up for dinner and a show.

I’m not sure who coined the term Happy Hour, but my bet is that he or she had a stressful job. Walk past nearly any cube or office in the city at about 3 p.m., and you’ll see an obvious loss of focus coming on. By 4 p.m. there’s visible anxiety, at 4:45 it’s all people can do to not click “Log Off” and run for the door. Five o’clock, if you are lucky enough to have a 9 to 5, is that magical hour when dark becomes light and work becomes play, when glasses are raised and laughter uncorked. In honor of the post-work party, Center City District has been running Center City Sips all summer long.

Just a few years ago, Center City was the epicenter of Philadelphia culture … and not just geographically speaking. Sure, there was the trendy bars of Manayunk and the cozy gravy houses of South Philly, but if a big-name chef, boutique or brand was coming to the City of Brotherly Love, they were dolling out their affections to Rittenhouse or Old City. How quickly times change. As the city’s pulse has turned more towards neighborhood locals, homegrown elements and creative ventures, the hot spots have been moving north and south into the residential nooks. The latest example is Kraftwork, the newly opened gourmet pub in the expanding Fishtown section.
