The 26 Best Things to Do in Philadelphia

"The Bok Building is a shuttered Vocational High School in South Philly, built in 1936 with funds from FDR’s Public Works Administration. After the school closed in 2013, urban development and design firm Scout transformed the absolute behemoth of a building—clocking in at 340,000 square feet of retrofitted former classrooms, an auditorium, and a rooftop—into a magnet for some of Philly’s most talented independent makers and creators. Among the dozens of artists, designers, printmakers, ceramicists, jewelers, florists, tattoo artists, and sculptors, there’s one of the world’s foremost clarinet repairers Atelier Jacobi, two sisters behind Second Daughter Baking Co. making the city’s (maybe even the world’s?) best brownie, and Moore Vintage Archive, where you can peruse tightly-curated racks sourced from Parisian markets and beyond." - Regan Stephens, Devra Ferst
