Sometimes, we can't make up our minds. We're in a wandering mood, so The Scene goes on a barhop; a mini-tour of the town. On March 24th, we hit Old City at Lucy's, Continental and Marmont. As the evening wore on, Rouge on Rittenhouse Square beckoned. For some late night fun and dancing we headed to Bar Noir right up the street from Rouge. Always a fun, mixed crowd. Try not to storm the door at 1 am – as with any late nite hotspot you'll have more success the earlier you go.

The 2001 Flower Show was open for a black-tie preview reception held on Saturday March 3rd. The display, whose exhibitors plan for many months, was set up in a mere week at the Philadelphia convention center. Donations from the attendees of this reception provide financial support for Philadelphia Green, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society''s outreach and public landscapes program. A dinner catered by Aramark was the final touch to a beautifully landscaped evening.

The Young Friends of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, a group of culturally minded young professionals, held their Annual Winter Gala on February 10th at the PMA. Philadelphia's young social set danced the night away in The Great Stair Hall hoping that theirs was the winning bid on the goodies that area merchants donated for the silent auction.

The Variety Club, an international organization that serves children with disabilities, held their annual fundraising Gold Heart Ball honoring Dave Davis, the General Manager of WPVI Channel 6 on February 10th at the Wanamaker Building's Crystal Tea Room. The event, a cocktail reception and dinner, got off to a smashing start with new President John Dougherty as the perfect host to some of Philadelphia's most generous hearted high-profile guests, including D.A. Lynne Abraham, Mayor John Street, IBX's Sr. VP Chris Cashman and Ed Rendell.
