Kunyaka ophelileyo, ndenze into abantu abaninzi baseNew York aboyikayo kwaye bacinga ngayo ngaxeshanye: Ndiphume ngaphandle kwesixeko okwethutyana, ikakhulu kuba bendinomdla wokubona ukuba ingaba ubomi bam busazosebenza ngaphandle kweManhattan. Njengombhali, iintsuku zam zibanjwa ngokudibanisa okulinganayo kwesiqhelo kunye neenkolelo. Ndingaba phi ngaphandle koololiwe u-R, uLeo unosilarha, kunye nephiko le-lingerie le-Century 21, elona gcina likhulu lezona zinto zinokwenzeka? Bekuza kwenzeka ntoni ukuba andikwazi ukufunda amaphepha asekuseni kwivenkile yam yeendaba ngaphezulu 'kwesiqhelo' kwikona yekona Ivenkile?

Kule minyaka mithathu idlulileyo, ndibhale iincwadi ezimbini, kwaye uninzi lwalo msebenzi lwenziwa ePhiladelphia. Ndicwangcisela ukutyelela abahlobo apho iintsuku ezimbini kwaye bendidla ngokuhlala ezintlanu. Nangona ndingelilo uhlobo olufuna ukuzola okufana neWalden ukuze ndisebenze, ndiye ndaphawula ukuba abantu baseFiladelfiya banamagumbi amakhulu azolileyo. Kwakukho umthunzi omninzi ezitratweni ehlotyeni, incinci inkunkuma unyaka wonke. Emva kosuku lokubhala, ndiye ndakwazi ukuphuma ndaya kutya isidlo sangokuhlwa kwindawo apho bendiza kuhlala khona ngaphandle kokulinda imizuzu engama-45 kwaye-ngcono kodwa-leyo bendinokuyifumana. Eyona nto ibaluleke kakhulu, bendikwazi ukufezekisa oko kuhlala kusinda ebantwini: ibhalansi, loo mgca mhle phakathi komsebenzi kunye nokuphumla, phakathi kokuxakeka nokudinwa.

Ndenze uhambo lwam lokugqibela lokuhamba ndaya ePhiladelphia ngobusuku obumnene ekuqaleni kukaNovemba ukuya kudibana nomhlobo wam uMitch. Sahamba saya kwisidlo sangokuhlwa kwizitrato ezisecaleni kwezitena zaseSociety Hill — amagqabi ajikelezayo, abantu ababhadula begoduka, ukukhanya okuthe ngcembe okuvela kumakhandlela ombane abekwe embindini weefestile zendlu yedolophu. Ngendiyalele ukuba ndi-Central Casting: idolophu enye entle, ezayo.

IPhiladelphia yayililizwe kunye ne-apos; isixeko sokuqala esacwangciswayo, esayilwa nguWilliam Penn njengegridi yezitalato ezibekwe kwelona cala lincinci phakathi kwemilambo iDelaware kunye neSchuylkill (ebizwa ngokuba yi-'skoo-kill ') kwaye ibethelelwe zizikwere ezinjengepaki. Ekuboneni kuqala, iPenn & apos; s 'greene countrie towne'-ejikelezwe yiPennsylvania Dutchfarmland kunye nomtya weendawo zokuhlala kwigumbi lokulala elinekratshi ekubhekiswa kulo njengoMgaqo oPhambili- zinokubonakala ngathi azilunganga entliziyweni. Kodwa iilali ezikufutshane namadlelo afaka igalelo elingaphezulu kwimveliso entle kunye nokuhamba rhoqo kweeSUV & apos; ukuya eFiladelphia & apos; ukwakheka kwenkcubeko; Isixeko & isimilo sokwenyani sinokufunyanwa kwizakhiwo zaso. IPhiladelphia ngumzekelo ozukileyo-kwaye uhlala ulusizi-kwisixeko seshishini laseMelika kumaxesha asemva kwemveliso. Ungayibona kwi-contour kunye nokutshayela kobugcisa (i-Neoclassical, i-Romanesque, i-Beaux-Arts, i-Victorian Gothic) kwiindawo ezihlaziyiweyo nezingahoywanga.

Nangona iPhiladelphia & apos; s isazisi sasezidolophini sithathelwa ingqalelo sisiqalekiso se-quaints (ngokuyinxenye ngenxa yeencwadi zesikhokelo eziqhelekileyo ezijolise kwilifa laso lobukoloniyali), ngaxa lithile esi sixeko sasiyindawo yokuvelisa. Ebhekiselwe kuyo njenge-'workshop yehlabathi, 'iFiladelphia yayiyikhaya lezinto ezininzi zokuvelisa kunye nokusabalalisa, kubandakanywa abakhiqizi bodwa njengeBaldwin Locomotive Co. (usenokunyuka kwiitoni ezingama-350, iBaldwin 60000 ubude. , efakwe kwiZiko iFranklin, isayensi kunye netekhnoloji yomyuziyam) kunye neStetson Hats (umqambi wenqanawa yokuqala yegalon ezilishumi), kunye namawaka ezinye iifektri ezitshayiweyo ezijika yonke into ukusuka kumathoyizi ukuya kwiwele.

Okwenzekileyo emva koko akumangalisi kuye nakubani na okhe wajija indlela yakhe yeklasi yembali yamabanga aphakamileyo. Ngexesha lotshintsho olwenziwe emva kwemfazwe, xa ukuthanda izwe kungakhange kudlulele 'ekuthengeni amaMelika,' amashishini abaleka esixekweni, eshiya iifektri kunye neendawo zokugaya. Njengezinye izixeko zaseMelika, iPhiladelphia ikhubekile ngenxa yeengxaki ezibangelwe kukuphelelwa lixesha kwimizi-mveliso kwaye yawela kwimeko embi. Kodwa nantsi umahluko. Xa lifikile ixesha lohlaziyo lwedolophu, endaweni yokugxila 'kokutsha'- ukudiliza kunye nokuqala-iPhiladelphia ihloniphe ixesha layo elidlulileyo ngokugxila kwi're': ukuphinda kusetyenziswe kwakhona, ukubuyisela kwakhona, kunye nokucinga kwakhona ngendlela yokusebenzisa kakuhle izakhiwo zayo, inkqubo evumela izakhiwo ukuba zibe nobomi obude. Akumangalisi ukuba umbhali wesikrini kunye nomlawuli wefilimu uM. Night Shyamalan wakhetha iPhiladelphia njengendawo Imvakalelo yesithandathu, I-thriller yakhe engaphaya kwendalo ngo-1999: kukho into eyothusayo malunga nesixeko apho yonke into yayiqhele ukuba yenye into.

Uyabona imizekelo ebalulekileyo yentengiso 'yokusebenzisa kwakhona' kuyo yonke indawo. Kwisitrato esibanzi, esikwabizwa ngokuba yiAvenue of the Arts, iRitz-Carlton, ePhiladelphia ithatha indawo kaMcKim, Mead & White yokujika kwakhona kwinkulungwane yama-20 ye-Roman Pantheon eyakhe yahlala kwiibhanki zaseGirard naseMellon; Isikhululo sokuFunda esasifudula sineshedi enkulu yoololiwe ehlabathini jikelele, ngoku yindawo yentengiso yokutya okuphezulu (ukusuka kwitshizi yobugcisa kunye neenkuku ezisimahla ukuya kwii-tacos kunye nee-hoagies) kunye neziko lendibano yesixeko; ivenkile ephambili yase-Philadelphia esekwe kwiAnthropologie ihleli kwikona yeRittenhouse Square kwisakhiwo seBeaux-Arts esasikade silikhaya koosozigidi bezorhwebo uSara Drexel Fell no-Alexander Van Rensselaer.

Eyona nto ibaluleke kakhulu kwi-Philadelphia kunye neapos yokuphinda ivele kukutshintsha kwemizi-mveliso ukuya kwindawo yokuhlala. Enkosi kwiminyaka eli-10 yokunciphisa irhafu yepropathi, ukuguqula izakhiwo ezishiyiweyo zasePhiladelphia & apos; Inqweneleka. Iimpawu ezingabonakali kakuhle ezithintela isakhiwo kunye neengcambu zabasebenzi-iinkcukacha ezinzima ezifana neeplanga ezixhaswe ngeentsika zensimbi; imibhobho evulekileyo enqumla iisilingi eziphakamileyo; Iifestile ezinobungakanani obudongeni ezivulekileyo (eziyimfuneko ekukhanyeni nasemoyeni kwimizi-mveliso engenalawulo lwemozulu yanamhlanje) -izelwe ngokutsha njenge-chic yemizi-mveliso.

Kwakhona, okwenzekayo eFiladelfia kunokubonakala ngathi kwahlukile kwinto eyenzekayo kwezinye iidolophu zaseMelika ezizama ukuhlawula okufanayo. Kodwa inani, ubungakanani, kunye nokwahluka kweefektri ezimiyo, kunye nokusondela kunye nokungafani nezinye izindlu zembali, akunakuthelekiswa nanto. Andinanto ngaphandle kothando lwezi zakhiwo. IZiko lesiXeko kunye neenguqulelo kwimizi-mveliso yokutshintsha kwemizi-mveliso yahlukile kwaye ibalulekile njengezindlu zedolophu ezinesitayile seFederal kunye nezindlu zaseVictoria zoMbutho weNtaba neRittenhouse Square. Bathetha ngembali yasePhiladelphia, okwahlukileyo, kodwa okwahlukileyo kodwa mhlawumbi kungabi njengokwexesha.

Kwiindawo ezinamakhaya amancinci, iinguqu ezinkulu zenzekile. Umzekelo ophambili wolu tshintsho yiBhanki yasekhohlo, indawo yokusetyenziswa exubeneyo ese-block-ubude, 700,000-square-foot-Art Deco isakhiwo esasiyindawo yasePennsylvania Railroad Freight Warehouse (phakathi kwezona zakhiwo zikhulu kwiRejista kaZwelonke yeMbali Iindawo eziya kuguqulwa zibe ziindawo zokuhlala). Kodwa nakwisiXeko seZiko, abaphuhlisi batshintshe ngaphezulu kweenyawo ezingama-300,000 zefektri kunye nendawo yokugcina izinto kwizindlu zeloft kule minyaka mithathu idlulileyo, kunye nama-500,000 ngaphezulu kwibhodi yokuzoba.

Abemi beZiko lesiXeko baxakeke ngamakhaya abantu abangabodwa (iipesenti ezingama-61). Kwaye kwenye yezo zinto zingaqhelekanga bathanda abemi beedemokhrasi, bona kanye abantu abafuna intuthuzelo yeedolophu ukuze bakhulise usapho ngoku bazifumana belangazelela ukubuyela esixekweni behlala njengoko bebukele umabonwakude benxibe iijean zabo ezikhululekileyo. Ngoku ka Uphuhliso lweZiko lesiXeko (epapashwe liZiko lesiXeko saseCentral kunye neCentral Pennsylvania Development Corp.), phakathi kuka-1990 no-2000, izibini ezitshatileyo zaba liZiko lesiXeko kunye nee-apos; iqela lesibini ngobukhulu lokuhlala, kwiipesenti ezili-15. Nditsho nabamelwane bam, isibini esikhulileyo 'esathatha umhlala phantsi' kwiidolophana, baba ngabantu abahlala ixesha elide ebomini kumzi-mveliso wezihlangu oguqulweyo esiwubiza ngokuba ngumzi.

Buza abalishumi elinambini basePhiladelfia ukuba yintoni ebatsalela edolophini kwaye uya kufumana iimpendulo ezininzi. Abanye baya kuqhubeka malunga nayo yonke into ukusuka ePennsylvania Ballet ukuya kwindawo yovavanyo yemidlalo yeqonga, kwizimo ezinomtsalane njengeAkhademi yoMculo-eyona ndlu indala yaseMelika isasetyenziselwa injongo yayo yoqobo- kunye neZiko elinyukayo leKimmel loBugcisa boBugcisa, eliyilwe nguRafael Viñoly.

Abanye balatha kwisixeko & kuluhlu olubanzi lweenkcubeko. Ngexesha lokuhlala kwabantu ngexesha lokushishina, abokufika bazenzela eyabo imimandla, bemisa iicawa, iivenkile nezikolo kwizithili apho banokuqhubeka nokuthetha ulwimi lwabo lwenkobe. Namhlanje kusekho 'uluntu' olwahlukileyo ngezantsi kwesixeko, kodwa ubudlelwane kubonakala ngathi busekelwe kukhetho ekwabelwana ngalo endaweni yeenkcubeko kunye nezenkolo. Lonke uluntu 'lunendawo yesithathu' ebonelela ngendawo yokubalekela phakathi komsebenzi kunye nekhaya — indawo yokutyela esecaleni kwendlela yaseParis, eItali indawo ye-ice cream, iJamani Igadi yebhiya -Kwaye ubukho obuqhubekayo bezi hangout zesitayile saseYurophu likhonkco ngqo kwiFiladelfia kunye neenkcubeko ezidlulileyo.

Enye yeendawo endizithandayo yesithathu yindlu yekofu ye-chic La Colombe ( I-130 S. 19th St .; 215 / 563-0860 ), Ngokhuni oluqinileyo olujikajika ngenkulungwane, oluguqulwe ngamaqabane uJean-Philippe Iberti kunye noT Todd Carmichael kwisikhululo sekhofi esenziwe ngokwezifiso. Amaqabane aqala ishishini labo lekhefi ngo-1994 besebenzisa i-Vittoria roaster eyi-15-kilo, kwaye ngoku baphuma kwiitoni ezingama-470 ngonyaka. Ayisiyiyo kuphela iLa Colombe yeyona ndebe ibalaseleyo yekofu I & apos eyakha yabakho eFiladelfiya, kodwa yeyona ndebe ilungileyo yekofu & Iiposi esele ikho naphi na, kubandakanya iNew York. Ngemixube emihlanu ethengisiweyo kuzwelonke, iLa Colombe iyathengiswa kwiindawo zokutyela eManhattan & apos, abapheki abakhethiweyo, njengoDaniel Boulud, uAlain Ducasse, noJean-Georges Vongerichten.

Kodwa elona tyala linamandla endinokulenza kule dolophu kunye nokuvuselelwa kwakhona yindawo yayo yokutyela eyahlukileyo. Kule minyaka ingama-20 idlulileyo, ukuxelela abantu baseNew York ukuba batye ntoni ibilishishini lam. Njengomntu owayesidla ngokutya okuphezulu, ndilungiselele amaqela asondeleyo kumakhaya abucala kunye neziganeko ezinje ngesidlo sangokuhlwa sama-300 eMyuziyam yaseGuggenheim. Kwakumnandi kum ukuxelela abantu ukuba batye phi, ukubonelela ngengcebiso ngerestyu ngokuthelekisa umsitho othile kwindawo efanelekileyo. Kodwa mva nje, xa abantu bendibuza ukuba ndibize amagama eendawo zam zokutyela endizithandayo, ndibaxelela ukuba, mna & apos; kungcono nditye ePhiladelphia.

Esi sixeko ibisisiseko sobomi bam abadala njengoko bendihamba ndisihla ndinyuka iNyoba eseMpuma. Kwiminyaka yokuqala yamashumi asixhenxe, xa kwakusavuyisa ukufumana ukutya okumnandi kwiindawo ezimnandi, ndafumana isidlo sam sokuqala 'se-fusion' (namhlanje kunye neapos; igama eliphambili lesithambiso esivela esixekweni nakwiiposisi ezinyibilikayo) kwindawo yokulungisa ivenkile engaphambili ebizwa iQabane. Ngelo xesha, ndandisitya nakwi-Wildflowers, kwi-Astral Plane, nakwi-Lickety Split; Amagama anokuvakala ngathi aphelelwe lixesha, kodwa oko kwakusenzeka kwezo ndawo zokutyela kusachaphazela ukutya namhlanje. Ngaphambi kwemiqathango efana yengingqi kwaye Uluhlu lwasimahla yaba yindawo eqhelekileyo, aba somashishini basebenzisa into abanokuyifumana: intywenka evela ezilalini, apho isithethe sigcina amafama egxile kwezolimo, hayi kwezolimo. Nangona bengakhange bafumane cinezela oogxa babo baseCalifornia abanjengoAlice Waters waseChez Panisse, abantu abanjengoSteve Poses weFrog babephambili kuhlaziyo lwezinto zokupheka, bekrwela iimenyu zonyaka kwiibhodi ezingafunekiyo, hayi nje ifashoni.

Namhlanje, isixeko sineendawo zokutyela eziphantse zibe zininzi kakhulu ukuba singazikhankanya: iBass enemigca, iMorimoto, iSusanna Foo, iLa Croix, ityuwa, kunye neminikelo evela kubapheki abaphambili ababonisa kwiindawo zokutyela ezishushu, ezinje ngeMarc Vetri & apos; s eponymous 10 I-hybrid yokupheka yokupheka kwase-Italiya yakudala kunye nelixesha, okanye iGuillermo Pernot kunye neapos zomlilo ¡Pasión!, ukubala nje ezimbalwa.

Kwaye ungqina isixeko & apos; s burgeoning 'zisa eyakho ibhotile intshukumo. Ukusasazwa kotywala kunye newayini ePennsylvania kuqhutywa ngurhulumente, kwaye abahlaziyi bahlawula imali efanayo nabathengi babo (isaphulelo sabo ekuphela kwirhafu yentengiso ye-7), ke oko kunokubonakala ngathi imeko ye-BYOB ikhula ngaphandle komqobo. Kodwa ngenene ngenkululeko. I-BYOB ihlala isenza ingxelo yomnini-chef, nenani elincinci lezihlalo kuneendawo zokutyela eziqhelekileyo kunye nemenyu yexesha elithile.

Uninzi lwabantu alunazo iiapos; aziqheleki iindleko zebhotile kwiindleko zesidlo, kwaye, ngenxa yeso sizathu, ii-BYOB kunye neeapos phantse zibubungqina boqoqosho, bakha ngokukhawuleza indawo yokuhlala yabathengi abaphindayo. Amaxesha okuqala ahlala ekhalaza malunga nezona zinto zenza i-BYOB kunye neeapos zithandeke rhoqo: ipanache yezihlalo ezinqunyelwe, uchulumanco lwezinto ezincinci, ezikhethiweyo zokudweliswa kweemenyu ezinokuthi zithathelwe ixesha lokufumana iodolo.

Kwi-Django eyaziwayo ( 526 S. Okwesine St .; 215 / 922-7151; isidlo sangokuhlwa ngeedola ezingama-70 ), UAimee Olexy kunye nomyeni wakhe, uBryan Sikora, ngabakhuthazi abakhulu bento ethi 'thenga indawo, upheke umhlaba wonke', babonisa ukutya okuthe-ethe ngexesha lawo lonyaka. Oda isitya esifana ne-cannelloni yee-morels ezomileyo zasendle zaseMontana, iilike zasendle ezikhutshiweyo, kunye ne-white-asparagus vinaigrette xa uyibona; ingathatha omnye umjikelo okhulayo ngaphambi kokuba uphinde uyibone.

Esi siganeko sindikhumbuza kwiminyaka eyadlulayo, xa umpheki ovela eCulinary Institute of America eHyde Park, eNew York, wathi kum: 'Zintathu iintlobo zokutya eMelika. Kukho isiFrentshi, kukho isiMpuma, kukho isiFiladelfi. '

Ngoku ndihlala ePhiladelphia, ndisisikhokelo ngakumbi kunondwendwe kule mihla. Kwinxalenye enkulu, abahlobo abaza kundwendwela abanomdla kwi-Liberty Bell. Ndibavumela ukuba benze iinqwelwana zeenqwelo ezinophahla eluphahleni lwam lwesikwere seenyawo-eziliwaka, kwaye yiyo yonke inkululeko yeFiladelfia ebonakala ngathi bayayifuna. Ukongeza ekunikeni ingcebiso ngerestyu, ndiyabakhuthaza ukuba babone izitiya zikawonke-wonke ezintle kwi-Independence National Historical Park, kufutshane neZiko loMgaqo-siseko leSizwe elalivulwe nje, isakhiwo esimnyama esimile esenziwe nguHenry N. Cobb. 'IZiko lesiXeko iPhiladelphia linohlanga olukhulu lwabantu abaya emsebenzini,' uxela uMark Alan Hughes, igosa eliphezulu kwiYunivesithi yasePennsylvania; Ukuhamba-hamba kulo mhlaba woluntu ungagungqiyo, unokusiqonda isizathu. Abantu basePhiladelphia bahlala nembali mihla le. Banokufikelela kwiimpawu zikazwelonke ezingafumanekiyo kwezinye iidolophu ezininzi zaseMelika. Andinako ukuma emgceni nabantwana besikolo ukuze ndibone amaziko abaluleke kakhulu kwilifa lethu lobukoloniyali, kodwa kunqabile ukuba ndiphoswe lithuba lokuhamba epakini ngeentsuku ezifudumeleyo, ndizolulela ebhentshini ndisela ikofu yam.

Kwangoko nje ngentsasa yangoku, ndavuswa sisandi esicaphukisayo, esiqhelekileyo sokuqunjelwa kwe-jackhammers: I-7 am crew yayingaphandle, ikrazula indawo yembali yaseBelgian block ye-New Street, indawo emfutshane edibanisa iSitalato sesithathu kunye nesine Ebumelwaneni. 'Ukuqhekeka kwesixeko kunye nomonakalo' ndambombozela xa ndivala iifestile zam ngengxolo. Emva kweeveki, xa umsebenzi ugqityiwe, ndibukele abakhi abaliqela beguqa ngamadolo beme esitratweni — ngesandla — ngeebhloko abazigcine ngokungxamisekileyo. Xa abantu bebuza ukuba ndiyazisola na ngokuphuma kwam kolu vavanyo, lo ngumbongo, umzuzwana wasePhiladelphia endiwenzayo.
