The Bite:
Seeking travel intervention but low on dough? Skip the flight drama, and hop-skip to Philly. Take the early Chinatown bus, and fuel up at Joe Coffee Bar for a fair-trade, organic cuppa and quick eats, like organic salads and hormone-free-meat sandwiches (the citrusy, balsamic chicken one's tops). Next, shop for cheap '60s thru '80s dresses - a summer must: geo-print A-lines - and vintage records at Sweet Jane Vintage & Records, near punky South Street. Cap your day at the wind-powered White Dog Cafe (near the Museum of Art) for more organic, local deliciousness like the juicy Painted Hills New York Strip Steak with potato puree, Swiss chard, and Merlot thyme jus, plus a pint of WDC's own Leg Lifter Lager – how's that workin' for you?
Wanna Try: 
NYC to Philadelphia, about 2 hours by bus. New Century Travel, $20 round-trip. Bus schedule.
Joe Coffee Bar, 1110 Walnut St. Map It (215-592-7384). Cup of coffee, $2/16 ounces.
Sweet Jane Vintage & Records, 1742 E. Passyunk Ave. Map It (215-339-0882). Geo-print shift dress, $40.

Cocktail Fact

The first daily newspaper in the United States was published in Philadelphia on September 21, 1784.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 NY Biters eat just one locally produced meal instead of a conventional one, we'll save enough gas to fill the tanks of 12,235 hybrid buses.
