FYI Philly

A full menu of flavor to go with Philly Wine Week

Monday, March 12, 2018

This week on FYI Philly, we've got a full menu filled with flavors from all over the Philadelphia area. There's hand-made pastries, belly-busting sandwiches, pierogis, meatballs and more. We wash it all down with some of the best wine the city has to offer as we preview Philly Wine Week. Plus, one of Beyoncé's choreographers is bringing his act to a local theater and Longwood Gardens has an orchid extravaganza you have to see to believe.
