it's what you want to know
The dirt is flying and the bulldozers are busy at the old Waterloo Gardens, now a bustling construction site for Devon Yard.
Good thing, too.
Because URBN is already booking weddings and mitzvahs – from Sept. 1, 2018 onward – at the Yard’s splashy event venue, Terrain Gardens.
Never mind that the project took more than four years to get OK’d; URBN’s confident it can have the whole shebang up and running in less than 12 months.
I’ve long contended that the eastern Main Line was ripe for new Coffee Shops Not Named Starbucks. So naturally, I’m pleased to report that after a string of “soft opening” days in low gear, .Green Engine Coffee Co. is going full throttle in Haverford.
The hip new coffee bar on Haverford Station Road should appeal to commuters, college students and coffee geeks alike.
I dropped by Green Engine this week and liked what I saw: sunny bay windows, a plush couch and fireplace, re-purposed church pews and a most unusual piece of hanging art – an 81 sq. ft. “living wall” of ferns.
Good luck getting around Ardmore Saturday afternoon.
“Real Housewives” star Bethenny Frankel is coming to town to play bartender and – get this – more than 2,600 fans plan to show up, according to the event’s Facebook page. (Yeah, I know – Facebook RSVPs are notoriously unreliable, but still…)
Bethenny will be shaking up Skinnygirl cocktails and pouring samples at the Ardmore Fine Wine and Spirits store on Greenfield Ave. from 3 until 5. (Where everyone plans to park is beyond me.)
The Main Line, inexplicably, has been bonkers for Bethenny for years. Anyone else remember the crazy-long lines at Bryn Mawr’s Skirt when she did a book signing there back in 2009? (And they weren’t even offering free booze that time.)
