April on 13th Street

Greetings from 13th street! Spring has finally sprung and we’re happy it’s finally here. Outdoor seating is back, the windows are wide open and everyone is out and about. Marcie has just returned from Fleisher's Grass-fed Organic Meats in Kingston, NY, where she took a nose to tail butchering class. She's ready to start ordering whole animals for use in all of our restaurants.
Stay tuned...

At Verde and Open House we have been trying to keep up with all of the new spring merchandise that arrives daily. From new sandals and scarves at Verde, to new heirloom vegetable seeds and a fresh batch of Orla Kiely handbags at Open House, it all says spring.

We have a few events that should not be missed in the next month:
4/19: Thali Tuesday at Bindi
4/20: Barbuzzo Wine Dinner, featuring the wines of the Piedmont region of Italy
4/18-23: Easter Chocolates at Marcie Blaine Artisanal Chocolates on sale
4/28: Dining out for Life at Bindi, Lolita, & Barbuzzo (33% of your meal cost donated to Action Aids)

Hope to see you on the block! Val & Marcie

VERDE: Wear This

This week our dressmaker's form is keeping it casual. She might spend some time strolling through the city with some friends, or lounging in Rittenhouse Square people (and dog!) watching in the beautiful weather. This week find her Philadelphia t-shirt both in-store and online!
