Philly Flavors has been a Fairmount staple (located across the street from Eastern State Penitentiary) for over five years now, and they've just added a new location in Center City: 343 S. 13th St., just up the block from Dirty Frank's (and a conveniently short walk from M&P HQ!).
Washington Square West is quickly transforming into quite the foodie destination with spots like Naked Chocolate Cafe, Tria II, Vintage Wine Bar, and Mercato among the many new-ish additions.
The new Philly Flavors opened up shop last month at the beginning of fall and missed the summer season, but it's sure to win people over while the weather's still nice. To help drive some timid taste buds into the space, they're having a grand opening with free water ice this Thursday.
As we've said many times before, we are not from Philadelphia, and even though we have loved calling it home the past four years or so, we still don't really understand water ice. However, we're told Philly Flavors has some great varieties. We've tried the ice cream at the new location several times now, and it's been great every time. But the new location doesn't yet have our absolute favorite Philly Flavors treat — the overstuffed ice cream cookie sandwiches. We can't wait till they get those this way!

I live about a block and a half from the original Philly Flavors and it's hard to resist going every night during the summer.
I do not like philly flavors hell Rita's is way better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Philly Flavors is awesome….their water ice is soooo good. They won Best of Philly last year, and the owner's a nice guy…I'd rather support a local business.
