Hey! You’re Gonna Love It Here is my favorite fanfiction of all time and is actually the reason I started an AO3 account(so I could get updates haha). Since then, I’ve read a ton, but I’ll still do a reread of yours every now and then! I was just curious if you were still planning on continuing it or not. Either way, I just wanted to say that I really loved it and thank you so much for writing it! I still remember the last update because I was having just the worst possible day and the update took my mind off of it for a little bit :)

Oh wow thank you so much *_* That is seriously like the highest compliment, I so appreciate you taking the time to let me know.

Definitely planning on picking up the fic again, I just got distracted with other fics and fandoms and work is insane and I took up ceramics and I’m teaching a college class and I just moved to the suburbs (derogatory). But yes I don’t consider it a write off, the story is still dear to me and as long as I’m in Philly I’ll always have fresh, truly insane material to come back to it with.

Thank you again, this was such a lovely comment to find in my inbox..!

THE Sunny Tour Guide

You asked, I'm in the process of answering.

The first installment of my official It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia tour guide! Because a good one just... doesn't exist for some reason?

Old City

Paddy's Pub - 228 Race St The actual facade is located in Los Angeles, however this is Philly's nod to Sunny. Not too much likeness to the show on the inside other than harsh overhead lighting, but it's obviously a must-visit. Fun fact: In S17 E3 "Mac and Dennis Become EMTs," the first call they take is at Second and Race. That's where Paddy's is located! A fun little nod to our local gem.

Bleu Martini - 24 S Second St - S4 E7 "Who Pooped The Bed?" Probably not where I would send you for a cosmo but I'm not your mom!

Mac’s Tavern - 226 Market St - Rob and Kaitlin’s old bar

Just closed its doors this month but if you wanna see where it used to be, there you have it.

Riverfront

Dave & Busters - 325 N Christopher Columbus Blvd - "The Great Recession"

I don’t have anything to say here. Please don’t go eat at the D&Bs.

Benjamin Franklin Bridge - 211 N Christopher Columbus Blvd - "The Great Recession," intro The pier has been upgraded in a serious way lol. Be sure to check out Cherry Street Pier for local art, food, beer. Morgan's Pier for a night out (but also maybe not. It’s a lot). Penn Treaty Park for some green space :) Fun-ish? fact: the dilapidated red brick building behind them in this scene is now a restaurant that serves $15 espresso martinis and has a $20 cover for dancing. Times they are a-changin'.

Italian Market

The Italian Market - S Ninth & Montrose St - S5 E2 "The Gang Hits The Road" Great produce, bakeries, and of course, Italian food. Hit up Good's Vintage for vintage clothing and more it's one of my favs

Anthony's - 903 S Ninth St - S1 E1 "The Gang Gets Racist" Great coffee but oh my god the gelato...

Mac and Dennis’s Apartment - 903 S Ninth St - Above Anthony’s. S/o @fangedphillygrrrl for the intel!

Dee's Apartment - 916 Montrose St - unk. I'll be fully transparent and say this isn't the facade I recognize as her apartment, but I’ve read that this was used in the show. If you recognize it, let me know where from.

Center City

Reading Terminal Market - 1136 Arch St - S6 E8 "The Gang Gets A New Member The restaurant they're eating at doesn't exist anymore BUT so worth a trip to Reading always. Personal recs are: Herschel's for a pastrami sandwich, Beiler's for a donut, Miller's twist because you can't miss out on a Philly pretzel... or literally anything else in there.

Love Park - 1501 John F Kennedy Blvd - Duh There will be a line for pictures. Plan accordingly.

City Hall - 1 S Penn Square - S17 E7 "The Golden Bachelor Live" and many cut scenes

Logan Square - 200 Logan Square - S4 E9 "Dennis Reynolds: An Erotic Life" and S9 E1 "The Gang Broke Dee,” intro As evidenced in the picture, water is a hit or a miss. Literally no way to predict it was on last week so take that for what it's worth lol.

Fairmount

Philadelphia Museum of Art - 2600 Benjamin Franklin Parkway - S1 E4 "Charlie Has Cancer" Ugh I cry

Sister Cities Cafe - 18th & Benjamin Franklin Parkway - S9 E8 "Flowers for Charlie"

Boathouse Row - 1 Boathouse Row - S1 E4 "Charlie Has Cancer,” intro Gorgeous walk! You won't be able to see the boathouse lights as seen in the title card because that view is from across the Schuykill. Drive MLK drive or 76 to get that view.

Rittenhouse

Helium Comedy Club - 2031 Sansom St - S9 E1 "The Gang Broke Dee" I've seen some pretty good acts here definitely worth checking out.

Rittenhouse Square - 1800 Walnut St - S2 E2 "The Gang Goes Jihad" So so gorgeous year round. Highly recommend a picnic if the weather's nice! Please do not take a picture with Philly Spider Man unless you want to pay him.

Notes!

Rob and I's favorite cheesesteaks are at Jim's - 400 South St. He would tell you to order wit wiz. I would not. Wit cooper sharp ALLLL the way. Please trust me here. Extra coop if you have a stomach of steel. Cash only (as are a lot of places in Philly) so come prepared.

To the best of my knowledge, Philadelphia Java Company (The Waitress' coffee shop) is closed. There's a new location at 852 S 2nd St. Don't quote me on this please.

In S13 E1 "The Gang Makes Paddy's Great Again," Mac is wearing a Doc Street Brewing t-shirt. That's in Fishtown - 1229 N Front St.

The rest of the intro locations are: Market St sign at Penn’s Landing, 30th St Station, South Street (right outside of South Street Souvlaki), and Lincoln Financial Field. Go Birds.

In S1 E4 “Gun Fever”, Charlie mentions Dee’s new boyfriend dated the waitress at Dirty Frank’s - 347 S 13th St. Great dive, cash only, highly recommend.

Last fun fact is that Mac’s childhood home in the show is Rob’s actual childhood home located in Pennsport! Seen in S3 E10 “Mac is a Serial Killer,” S3 E11 “Dennis Looks Like a Registered Sex Offender,” and S5 E13 “A Very Sunny Christmas.” It’s been torn down and completely redone.

I’m working on Bonnie Kelly’s address because I do think the facade is in Philly. Watch this space.

Philly is one of the most walkable cities in the US!!! I’d highly recommend walking or taking the train. Our public transit is currently going through a funding crisis so any $$$ you wanna throw at it is a blessing to us locals <3

Oh Snail, you and Chewy would’ve hit it off

The dinner parties they’ve hosted:

-Thanksgiving where everyone burned up

-Imaginary cruise ship dinner

-Dee’s dinner which sent them all to therapy

-Prime Time dinners with Dennis crash out

-TGB with Charlie breakdown

[charmac]

The literal 🥺🥺🥺 eyes

[608kate]

Mac and Dennis wanted to hold hands during that dinner so bad

[608kate]

At this rate, we’re going to find out Mac and Dennis are platonically legally married in the next episode

[gaydennisreynolds]

everything about this video captivates me..... the way glenn goes "aww, birthday boy", the shared double glob birthday party, watching them run lines out of character together... I am normal about the cast of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. NORMAL

[608kate]

So how will they use Charlie’s newfound reading skills for evil?

[pigeoncowboys]

seems this doesn’t really exist online so here is the “sunny sing-a-long” from the iasip christmas special dvd 🎄 

[608kate]

First draft of my It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Clue! Example of clue cards at the bottom. Still a lot of work to do including the character, weapon, and room cards but loving it so far!

Thoughts and prayers for the girls who DIY’d a Rep outfit only for her to change the color for the first time since tour started

Firm believer Mac accidentally used his own hair dye on Dennis
