I have subscribed to this magazine for close to a year now. Having lived in New York, and read their "local" magazines which generally rah-rah'ed the city, this city magazine does not. Rather it gives a unbiased/biased opinion viewpoints on what makes Philadelphia so wonderful, or not so wonderful. To be honest, it's rather refreshing to read articles that don't seem like happy-go-lucky articles as say "Time Out New York".
You'll get articles on local sports teams, dining, politics, and things to do in Philadelphia. You also get articles on the surrounding communities (albeit not as frequently as I would like) which kind of encourages you to go and explore the areas.
My only con on this magazine I wish it would have more "destination" articles on the surrounding areas at least every issue...whether it be Amish country, Baltimore, DC, the Brandywine, Delaware, etc. But then again if they did do that -- well...maybe it wouldn't totally be a "Philadelphia" magazine after all.
My 2cents. For somebody new to the area - highly recommend the magazine to get know Philly.
great reading
This is a premier magazine in the Philadelphia area and the Newstand price is much more. Having a subscription makes It easier to keep in touch about Philly events.
I've been buying this magazine for 25 years. Amazon auto-renew is only $10.
Good to see what is going on in the greater Philly area as well as regional topical issues. Hard to find another publication that does this as well.

The low, low price of the subscription enticed me to order. My first issue arrive and I found it enjoyable. Being a Philadelphia suburbanite, there are articles of interest and give me better insight into what the city has to offer if I dare to enter.
This is your typical city magazine. It highlights all of the different activities, places to see and eat as well as provides reviews of different restaurants, clubs and places to shop. It has an article or two on political / city type current events that the locals may find of interest.
