WHAT WE HEART: Philadelphia wine totes

Brooklyn-based Maptote, creators of eco-friendly bags, note cards, zipper pouches and onesies with a bent toward hometown cartography, have come out with a Philly series — our favorite of which is their narrow canvas bag just big enough to snuggle a bottle of wine as you head to your favorite BYOB. It would have been impossible to fit a map of our awkwardly shaped, porkchop-reminiscent city onto these wine totes, so Maptote proprietors Rachel Rheingold and Michael Berick chose, instead, to list as many of our little 'hoods as they could cram in. (Pennsport made the cut, but not Kensington; and we'll give them a pass for calling the Gayborhood "Midtown Village," but not so much for the extra "S" in Roxborough.) Nevertheless, the tote's super cute and affordable at $13, and if you click on the site's Philadelphia page (where you can also buy grocery-size totes affixed with local landmarks — the Liberty Bell, Rocky, etc.), you'll find fun facts about our city. For example, did you know the Philadelphia Zoo was the first in the country? (OK, you probably already knew that.)
