Afternoon Snacks
Another chance to catch up with St. Nick, gifts from Milk and Honey, and some nostalgic sort of scrapbooks from Saveur and Anchor Brewing, on today's Afternoon Snacks!
Afternoon Snacks
On today's Afternoon Snacks, we've got more Santa, great gifts courtesy of Milk and Honey Market, and a couple of fun vintage collections to peruse via Saveur and Anchor Brewing.
In the grand tradition of family events with Santa in bars, Frankford Hall (1210 Frankford Ave.) had the man himself in this past weekend, and he’ll be back on Saturday and Sunday for pictures and beers and all-around merriment. From noon to 3 p.m. on Sat., Dec. 15 and Sun., Dec.16, kids get free food, pictures with Santa, and arts and crafts to keep them busy. Carols will be provided by power-polka outfit the Ja Ja Jas.
Hopefully we’ve given you enough gift guidance by now, but if you’re the hands-on type or are feeling overspoiled for choice, check out Milk and Honey Market (435 Baltimore Ave.)—they’ve pulled together a pretty nice selection of gift ideas. Succinct, spot-on, and all in one place.
We’re taken by these vintage information wheels posted by Saveur—and if you geek out over these, you’ll be happy to know they’re actually culled from an entire volume on info wheels. They’re featured in Jessica Helfand’s Reinventing the Wheel, which also houses gems like a WWII-era Wonderbread-branded guide to U.S. warships/international flag code chart. What!
And since we recently came clean about our fondness for Anchor Christmas Ale, we thought we should share this with fellow fans: it’s their collection of each year’s special label, and it is surprisingly fun to look at!
