Manayunk is the place to get something for everyone on your list and this year Advent’s Joe DeCandido shows us just how it’s done. We followed along as he shopped at fourteen different Manayunk stores and checked everyone off his gift list. From his nieces and nephews to his employees, Joe found the perfect gift for each of them right here in Manayunk.
