It is no secret much of Philadelphia’s populace migrates to Atlantic City each summer, and for good reason.  After all, Center City is a brief ninety minute commute from beautiful beaches, luxurious hotels and casinos, as well as a personal favorite, “Sack O’ Subs” in Ventnor.

However, within the twelve weeks spanning Memorial Day through Labor Day, countless obligations could impede a weekend out-of-town. Therefore, we’d like to provide a number of exciting outdoors options Philadelphia has to offer [all images hyperlink to pertinent homepage].

The trendy sushi craze that was sweeping across the US a few years ago is still running strong, especially in the Philadelphia scene.  Now you can find sushi almost anywhere in the area, from the abundance of restaurants to fresh sushi at your local grocery store.  Sushi has evolved into its own style and people are eating it much more frequently.  No matter what Philadelphia neighborhood you live in, you have access to delicious fresh sushi.  The debate for the best is one that can be argued, but here are a few must try locations:

1.)    Morimoto, 723 Chestnut Street- A quick Google search will show you all of the positive reviews.  Morimoto is a must try not only for the sushi but for the striking interior of the restaurant.  Iron Chef Morimoto takes Japanese food to a new level in this cutting-edge restaurant.

2.)    Umai Umai, 533 N. 22^nd Street- This cozy BYOB has received numerous praises from critics for the delicious sushi.

3.)    Blue Fin, 1017 Germantown Pike Plymouth Meeting- City dwellers travel out to the burbs for a taste of the often hard-to-find fish used in the sushi at Blue Fin.  Located in a strip mall, this BYOB might not scream “must try” but it’s definitely worth the trip.

4.)    Izumi, 1601 East Passyunk Ave- Another BYOB located in the East Passyunk neighborhood, Izumi doesn’t disappoint.  “Izumi is simply delicious sushi, done with care and served with style.”

5.)    Vic, 2035 Samson Street- Vic is known for affordable rolls, they have a great 3 roll special for $10.95
