Philly is seeing something of a boom in boutique hotels as we brace for what's expected to be a massive tourism year in 2026. After the city started regulating and placing restrictions on Airbnbs and other short-term rentals, a crop of new, small – and Instagramable – hotels have popped up around town. Five opened last year alone. To see what's going on with the boutique hotel scene, we visited the Gas Lamp Hotel in Old City and hung out with co-owners Scott Yesner and Wendell Holland. Other boutique hotels in the city include Yowie and Society Hill Hotel in Queen Village, The Dwight D Hotel and The Franklin in Rittenhouse, Hotel Anna & Bel in Fishtown, Riversuites on the Delaware River, Guild House Hotel in the Gayborhood, Morris House Hotel by Washington Square Park and Akwaaba Bed & Breakfast Inns in University City.

South Philadelphia activist Leighanne Savloff rejoins the Dom Giordano Program. Leighanne first came onto our radar after grilling former Governor Ed Rendell over his association with Safe Injection Sites. Yesterday, in a community meeting, Savloff grilled Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner over his lack of support for police officers. Savloff tells us why she decided to speak up, and what she'd like to see change to better the lives of Philadelphians. (Photo by Mark Makela/Getty Images)

At the time of this episode's release, Jesse Ito was the Co-owner and chef of Royal Izakaya and Royal Sushi, a 2-in-one restaurant combo in Queen Village. Jesse's claim to fame is his exclusive 10-seat omakase sushi bar, which is one of the very few restaurant experiences in Philly to get a 4-bell rating from the Inquirer. In 2017, Jesse was honored by Eater as a Young Guns Award Winner and made Zagat's 30 Under 30 list. In this episode you'll hear how Jesse got his start as a sushi chef working at Fuji, his father's restaurant in south Jersey. When he was 24, Jesse and his family would sell Fuji and go all-in on bringing the omakase and izakaya experience to Philly. That bet would pay off, as 3 years later they've received the covered Philly Inquirer restaurant rating of 4 bells.

I had the  opportunity to sit down with Chef Eric Leveillee and sous chef Kieran, just 2 weeks after they took over Marigold Kitchen in West Philadelphia.  Chef Leveillee spent the last few years at Whetstone Tavern in Queen Village, where  he was able to take over as Executive Chef and began to develop his cuisine.  After pushing his cuisine as far as he could in the constraints of Whetstone tavern, he took the chance to take over the kitchen of Marigold where he has complete control over the menu.  Chef Leveillee also has a very strong instagram account with over 15,000 followers, we talk about the importance of this to his career and finding the right strategy for you.

Flood the Drummer was at the announcement and offers a report from the scene in Queen Village.

Listen to Mark talk about 2 great Center City Philadelphia Neighborhoods: Queen Village and Bella Vista!

The Queen Village neighborhood in Philadelphia is a very desirable location for buyers. Queen Village is convenient to 1-95 and just a few blocks from Center City's dining and shopping. Spanning from Front to 6th, South to Washington, you can find everything from small homes, to huge townhouses, to a variety of condos in this area.
