Magazine BLU is sexy, smart, social and sophisticated. It is the choice of professional, upwardly mobile, confident, intelligent and philanthropic individuals who enjoy their work, social and personal status. BLU readers do not routinely want celebrity gossip, objectification of either gender, blatantly offensive story lines or tips for following here-today, gone-tomorrow trends. Magazine BLU readers do seek diversion from everyday stressors, through discovery of emerging artists, the best vacations, things to do and cuisine to enjoy. They want advice regarding timely and quality additions to their already established personal wardrobe and home interior, key pieces of sophistication earmarked to become timeless classics. Magazine BLU presents cutting-edge features and editorials about known and unknown individuals who have made their mark on society, or who are on the cusp of making a difference in our world. Celebrities are featured, not simply because of celebrity, but because they have something to say that we think you might want to hear. Magazine BLU does not seek to "matchmake" or promote marriage, nor do we discourage transition from singledom to a personal partnership. BLU simply brings forward the news, information, diversion and tools you want for the ultimate enjoyment of your own personal ride! That is what is different about Magazine BLU. So, are you BLU? |

Germantown Avenue of Chestnut Hill – A short SEPTA Regional Rail ride on the R8 to Chestnut Hill West (about 30 minutes from Suburban Station) puts you in the heart of Chestnut Hill’s adorable and fashionable shopping district. As picturesque and quaint as a Christmas village, Chestnut Hill’s boutiques and stores range from the eclectic to designer. From formal wear to gourmet chocolates, books to bar ware, you will find plenty of items to expand your suitcase for the journey home. Wonderful restaurants and pubs are throughout the area, so finding a place to appease your appetite will not be a problem. You might even decide to stay overnight, at Chestnut Hill Hotel, where plenty of celebrities have stayed on their performance nights (reservations very necessary).
8000 to 8600 Germantown Avenue.
Manayunk’s Main Street – Another little jaunt by SEPTA, this time on the R6 train (toward Norristown), Manayunk offers almost 70 boutiques, unique restaurants, ice cream shops, night spots and an overall experience of relaxed shopping, sightseeing and dining.

Center City and Old City Shopping – The Center City and Old City areas of Philadelphia offer many opportunities for shopping, including the upscale boutiques and restaurants of Rittenhouse, from Broad Street at Market to Spruce at 21st Street, with the best-known area being Walnut Street around its intersection at 18th. This is much of the area utilized for the film In Her Shoes, starring Cameron Diaz. Antique Row is on Pine Street between 9th and 13th Streets. Chinatown’s best starting place is at N. 10th and Race Streets, running from 8th to 12th Streets between Filbert and Vine. Jeweler’s Row, home to hundreds of independent jewelry stores in a highly concentrated area, is located at S. 8th and Chestnut Streets. The famed Italian Market, as seen in the Rocky movies, offers butcheries, bakeries and specialty shops reminiscent of days gone by, with a true taste of Philadelphia (and Italy) presented in every shop and stand. It is located at S. 9th and Washington Streets.
