The weekend is still barely visible over the horizon, but that doesn't mean you can't have some weekendly fun upon this unseasonably warm eve. Here are a few things to do so you can tell your friends how immersed you are in city life.

Dear myphl17:

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. Phillyist Sarah is always tempting this Phillyist with articles on food blogs about inventive things to do with bacon, but this may be our favorite yet - bacon chocolate chip cookies with maple cinnamon glaze.

And now we get to worship her in person: Mary Roach is speaking in Philadelphia this week.
