The Collaborative

Shopping

Anthropologie: Frilly, girly cousin to Urban Outfitters.

Artisan Boulianger Patissier: The best croissants ever. EVER! Try the chocolate almond. 215/ 271-4688

Big Jar Books: Used. Good coffee and good causes, like the 215 Festival. 215.574.1650

DiBruno Brothers: Oh. My. God. CHEEEEESSSE!!!!! (...and much more.) Choose between the original in the Italian Market or the new "superstore" in Rittenhouse.

Farm to City: Want those fresh fruits and veggies straight from the farm? Sign up for "CSA" or community supported agriculture. It is a mutually-beneficial arrangement between community members and a local farmer. There are Center City pick up locations and in the surrounding areas.

Foster's Urban Homeware: ultra modern plates, shower curtains, and suction tooth brush holders cute imaginary friend shapes.

Molly's Books: Used, plus her kids and cats are cute. Also, a great place for readings.

Urban Outfitters: Philly based hipster gear.

Loehmann's: It's every girl's fav store for designer labels at affordable prices. The men though are not forgotten at their Chestnut Street location.
