Hey there — I’m Edward “Big Ed” Regan, and welcome to SweetScenes.com, my personal adventure into the best eats, events, and everyday magic that make the Philadelphia and South Jersey region so special.
I created Sweet Scenes to spotlight the places that often get overlooked — the mom-and-pop diners with legendary sandwiches, the neighborhood festivals full of laughter and life, and the hidden gems you’d never find unless a local pointed you in the right direction.
After spending years building relationships in real estate and the community, I realized that some of the best stories aren’t found in big cities or flashy tourist traps — they’re right here, tucked inside corner pubs, food trucks, farmer’s markets, and small-town sidewalks.
I wanted to document those moments, share authentic experiences, and give readers an inside look at the people and places that bring character to our region.
Whether it’s a 5-star roast beef sandwich in Westville or a spontaneous street performance in Philly, I’m here to capture it all — with honesty, heart, and a camera in hand.
