Old City's restaurant revival
This week on FYI Philly, we visit South 2nd street in Old City which is experiencing a restaurant renaissance. We're sprucing up for spring with new flooring inside and out...and for our floor practice, we check out some Made in Philly yoga mats and a local line of clothing with the SPF protection built right in. Plus the circus is coming to town and we're giving away free tickets!
* This Saturday's FYI airs at a special 7:30 p.m. time and encores Sunday at midnight.
