by Sarah Amar in Food on Oct 20, 2017 12:59 pm fullscreen close Federal Donuts, a cult favorite in its native Philly, landed in Chelsea Market on Friday morning, bringing three flavors of their signature "hot and fresh" donuts to a cadre of Manhattan followers. The pop-up ran in the Dizengoff space until 10 a.m., serving coffee and donuts to a small crowd of pilgrims, some of whom had planned their morning around the chance to snag one of their beloved Federal Donuts without the trip to Philadelphia. Creators and co-owners Mike Solomonov and Steven Cook, who also own Dizengoff, left Philadelphia for New York at 4:30 a.m. this morning, but they had smiles on their faces (and a cup of coffee on hand) as they chatted with guests and customers. A line formed early on, but head chef Matt Fein and his team kept up a steady rhythm to supply time-crunched New Yorkers with their morning sugar buzz. The pop-up featured three flavors of donuts—Apollonia, Indian Cinnamon, … [Read more...] about Philadelphia-Based Federal Donuts Owners ‘Would Love’ To Open NYC Location

Philadelphia backs safe injection sites to curb opioid overdose deaths
Last Updated Jan 24, 2018 11:45 AM EST PHILADELPHIA -- Philadelphia wants to become the first U.S. city to allow supervised drug injection sites as a way to combat the opioid epidemic, officials announced Tuesday. They said they are seeking outside operators to establish one or more in the city.

On the front lines of opioid epidemic, U.S. police split on Narcan"No one here condones or supports illegal drug use in any way," Farley said.

Philadelphia Eagles’ Zach Ertz on his Super Bowl-winning touchdown
When Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz scored the game-winning touchdown Sunday at Super Bowl 52, it took a few minutes for referees to review his catch. "It seemed like an eternity, honestly," Ertz said Monday on "CBS This Morning." "I didn't really know what they were looking at at the time. To me, it seemed pretty obvious. But when they were reviewing it for that long, I mean, that's when doubt seeps in just a little bit." His touchdown came with just over two minutes left in the game, finishing a 75-yard drive to put the Eagles in front of the New England Patriots for good. Ertz credits the preparation that the Eagles have put in the past year. "It started in April of last year and it's just been a continuation of things. We practice so hard each and every day as a team. I think we practice harder than probably any NFL team. It's pretty remarkable what we do on the practice field each and every week, and at that point, it's all reaction," Ertz said. Their reaction … [Read more...] about Philadelphia Eagles’ Zach Ertz on his Super Bowl-winning touchdown

(Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images) INDIANAPOLIS — Jay Ajayi helped lead the Philadelphia Eagles to a Super Bowl championship. And the man who engineered the trade to bring him from Miami envisions even greater things for Ajayi in 2018. “Jay is an explosive guy,” Eagles executive vice president Howie Roseman said at the NFL Scouting Combine on Wednesday. “He can run inside the tackles. He can break it outside. (Coaches) did a great job of getting him the ball in the screen game. So he’s a young guy. He’s 25 years old. He’s obviously under contract next year. So we’re really looking forward to having him the whole offseason. In training camp. And kind of getting him more involved.” Ajayi carried 70 times for 408 yards as an Eagle, averaging 5.8 yards per carry with one touchdown.In the Super Bowl, … [Read more...] about Philadelphia Eagles: We’ll get Jay Ajayi even ‘more involved’ in ’18
Sharks vs. Flyers pregame: Successful road trip so far moves to Philadelphia
The Sharks are going for their fifth straight road victory overall away and fourth straight win on this road trip when they face the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night at Wells Fargo Center. “Just the mindset of playing the right way,” Sharks forward Tommy Wingels said when asked what’s been working on the road. “That’s playing well defensively and not giving the opponent any extra offense. It’s about little things all over the ice. We’ve talked about being in the right position and just giving yourself a chance.” The Sharks are not making any changes to their forward lines or defensive pairs, dressing the same players that they did in their wins over Buffalo and Boston. Defenseman Mirco Mueller will make his third straight start, as he continues his bid to stick with the team past this road trip. All of the Sharks’ last four road wins – Colorado, Detroit, Buffalo and Boston – have been by one goal. “The message … [Read more...] about Sharks vs. Flyers pregame: Successful road trip so far moves to Philadelphia
