from WestPhillylocal website: Here are two fun West Philly things to
keep an eye out for in a couple of weeks.
First, Mariposa Food Co-op will hold a giant craft fair and flea
market in the new building at 4824 Baltimore Ave. on February 12 and
13. The building isn’t officially open yet, but this will give folks
an opportunity to get a sneak preview ahead of the fall 2011 official
opening. This shindig will feature jewelry, baked goods, handcrafted
items, clothes, books and much more. See the flyer below.
On February 16 Manakeesh, the new Lebanese cafe and bakery at 45th and
Walnut, plans to celebrate its official grand opening with a party
that will include free giveaways and all sorts of goodies. The party
will run during regular business hours.
