JUST DO IT: Holiday Walk 2010

It may sound like an event that should have the term "5K" in front of it, but Frankford Ave. Arts' Holiday Walk 2010 is actually more like a shopping bonanza. And while your contribution may not benefit cancer research or the local hunger epidemic, it will help support a street full of local artists who have shops on and around Frankford Avenue in Kensington and Fishtown. That's where the walking part comes in — you can stroll the avenue, taking advantage of special deals from shops like Black Vulture Gallery (208 E. Girard, 215-423-3666), two percent to glory (1807 Frankford Ave., 267-507-9250) and the Craft Foundry (701 Belgrade St., 267-977-8499). Everyone will have goods pulled out onto the sidewalks and there will be plenty of food from regional eateries to boot. One of our recent discoveries, and a participant in the walk, is the The Lola Bean (1325 Frankford Ave., 215-634-5652). Stop in and tell the girls hello. They make a mean-ass grilled veggie and hummus wrap, and if they're selling the vegan pumpkin cakes don't hesitate for a second to snatch one up. For a full list of participating businesses, check out this Google map outlining the entire course. Happy Fishtowning!
