Philadelphia…
a city known for it’s notorious sports fans and a certain delicacy
known as the cheesesteak. Last year entrepreneur Steve Grasse, the man
behind Gyro Mart and Root liquor, injected a little a dose of welcomed
style into the city with his shop Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction.
(And yes the name is inspired by the Walter Benjamin essay.) Whether
you’re searching for the newest Billykirk piece, new scents from CB I Hate Perfume
or tobacco for your prized briar pipe, this shop has you covered.
Nestled in Old City, this perfectly curated store brings a refreshing
mix previously one might have needed to take the trip up to SoHo for. Art in the Age
also has monthly art shows curated by another Philly staple, Space
1026. Product can be ordered form their online store, but you’d be
doing yourself a favor by taking the walk down N. 3rd and stopping by
for a visit.—SEAN SULLIVAN
