THE SALE REPORT: Passyunk Pops up in Rittenhouse and Valentines Day
Pop-Up Passyunk Shopping Event in Rittenhouse
If you haven’t been able to get yourself over to South Philly to see what all the fuss over East Passyunk Ave. is about, you’ll get your chance for a taste of it this weekend, when the shops that make up this ever-growing neighborhood come together for a sort of pop-up neighborhood in Rittenhouse, today through Sunday. Look for JimmyStyle, Urban Jungle, Sweet Jane Vintage, Fringe Salon, Green Aisle Grocery, and lots more. (And bring some cash: Not all stores will be able to take plastic during this event.)
