PJ's & Coffee

The buzz is getting louder and louder!  The excitement and the anticipation are building, and next week it all begins!  That’s right…the First Annual Manayunk EcoArts Festival will take place on Saturday, September 25th and Sunday, September 26th. The EcoArts Festival is an extension of the Manayunk Arts Festival, which we have all loved over the years.  This Festival will celebrate artistic, sustainable, and local green initiatives.

Chef Moon

The launch will be at none other than one of our favorite places, MangoMoon Restaurant at 4161 Main Street.  The date is Thursday, September 23rd, and the festivities begin at 6:30 p.m.

Chef Moon, a master with Thai Cuisine,  will serve delicious appetizers from her garden and the local co-op, while you listen to smooth jazz, and enjoy wonderful drink specials.

Drinks will be “green” to honor the spirit of the event, which is to celebrate the local green initiatives and play on one of the event’s sponsors, Green Drinks.

As of now, Mayor Nutter and Councilman Curtis Jones, Jr. are scheduled to attend to accept Eco Champion Awards, which recognize those Philadelphians who have encouraged sustainability and green living through their personal and professional commitment.

If you would like to attend, you can email: info@mymangomoon.com

See you there!

Tonight while The Londonbury held a happy hour at The StoneRose in Conshohocken, owned by Brian Pieri, pictured above, Debbie Flocco, co-chair of AMBUCS Restaurant Rally, was hard at work organizing this Sunday’s event, which raises money for  special athletics programs. The event proves to be quite the gastronomic extravaganza, including 20 local restaurants including Conshohocken’s newest hot spot, The StoneRose, as well as, the area’s best BYO, Blackfish, the popular Mexican Cantina Coyote Crossing, Spamps, The Boathouse and many others including the winner for the last two years, TrattoriaTotaro.

The event begins at noon with a continental breakfast at The Great American Pub. Shuttle buses then take diners from restaurant to restaurant sampling dishes throughout the day until 5PM. An after party will be held from 5PM – 7PM.
