Two new restaurants opened in our area...

Two new restaurants opened within the last month, bringing more ethnic and exotic cuisine to our area!


Saffron Indian Kitchen, a new restaurant that opened recently in downtown Ambler, brings North and South Indian cuisine to our area. This is a new location for Rahul Bhatia's Bala Cynwyd BYOB, in the former La Cava space. Those who have been there recently that I know say it is the best Indian food in the area!
60 East Butler Ave Ambler P.A.19002 Phone: 215 - 540 - 0237

Pho and Beyond, a Vietnamese cafe at 47 Easton Rd. in Willow Grove, next to Weinrich's Bakery. Check out their menu. "At PHO & BEYOND, you will be able to dine on “authentic” Vietnamese cuisine based on family’s secret recipes, techniques, and skills that have been handed down to us.  Here, you will enjoy our food in a friendly, warm, and relaxing atmosphere." From what I have read the restaurant is very clean, nice, and the food very food.

Rapunzel's Wants To Give Back!

Rapunzel's Wants To Give Back!

"We are asking our clients to let us know about families that are in need this year. We know this economy has been tough on a lot of people, some of which can't afford a Christmas this year. We will be sending gift certificates for services (hair cuts, massages, facials, manicures and pedicures) to spread some Christmas joy this year. If you know of a family who is struggling, please send us an email with their name, address, and a brief description of the hardship."

Such a great idea and so nice of this salon! Please help them with this and submit anyone you think could use some extra cheer.

Poppy’s Pants centers around a group of doll characters, who you and your children will meet when Melissa Conroy reads from this enchanting story . “When I first started making dolls, I discovered that half the fun of it was giving each a story” she says. “I feel as though a doll is not finished until I write up a personality description for it. I knew my dolls could become characters in a book, and I just had to find out what direction the book would take”. Come meet Penelope, a big-hearted doll who mends a hole in her grandfather’s khakis, and hear her tale. You and your children are sure to be delighted


TUESDAY DECEMBER 8TH, 4PM: FREE WALDORF CRAFT
