MANAYUNK

 

1. This view- how many towns have a canal right in their backyard?

 

 

2. The perfect morning pick me up from Volo. Could their coffee be any better?

5. Looking for a delicious weekend brunch? Winnie’s French toast, Lucky’s Last Chance’s breakfast burger, Derek’s omlettes, Brew Pubs buffet...need we say more? (By the way, they’re all on the same street!)

 

 

6. You’re only a quick train ride away from Center City Philadelphia.

 

 

7. Have a sweet tooth? Whirled Peace Fro-Yogurt, Sweet Elizabeth’s Cupcakes, and Insomnia Cookies can solve any and all of your  problems.
