Summer vacation season is over. How will you kick off the fall season in Philly?

ADAM ERACE contributing writer

“Every free moment I have in the summer is spent at the Shore, so I like to get reacquainted with all my favorite restaurants in the city— and with cooking. For local ingredients, this is the best time of the year, with tomatoes, peppers, corn and peaches still abundant.”

BRIAN FREEDMAN contributing writer

“The same way I always do: with a long-smoked brisket that I’ll get up at 5am to start, a Manhattan or two and a long list of all the restaurants I’ll want to visit over the next few months.”

“Fall is my absolute favorite season, especially when spent in Philly. I’ll most likely be breaking out my enormous sweater collection, and diving into the new hard ciders that I’ve discovered recently. Bonfires with friends are also an absolute must.”

“I’ll hit as many festivals as I can get to: the twoday Made in America, the Fringe Festival, Opera Philadelphia’s debut O17 Fest, Designphiladelphia, the Midtown Village Fall Fest. I’ll be so busy festing, I may never get home.”

“Have my friends over for drinks in the garage, project a movie on a big screen and maybe some backyard bonfires.”
