B2 on East Passyunk getting some love (Photo: Jessica Kourkounis for The New York Times)

The New York Times visits East Passyunk Avenue in this Sunday’s Travel Section and it’s a great feature.

The article talks about the recent growth, citing “an influx of fresh, hipster-ready cafes and boutiques with friendly, low-pressure service.”

The piece then takes a quick tour of the avenue, stopping at places like Metro Men’s Clothing, B2, Capogiro, Fond, Black N Brew, JimmyStyle and Green Aisle Grocery.

Always great to see Philadelphia neighborhoods getting some love from The New York Times.

Make sure you give it a read.

We spend an awful lot of time telling you about the various farmers markets around town where you can buy local produce, dairy products, meats and baked goods. But rarely do we address what to do if your schedule just doesn’t allow those weekly market visits.

As of yesterday, there’s a new spot in town (joining the ranks of such gems as the Fair Food Farmstand and Pumpkin Market) that carries nothing but local groceries, making it increasingly easy to fill your kitchen with goodies from our region. Called Green Aisle Grocery, they carry such goodies as hummus from Zahav, sweet treats and preserves from local food writer and pastry chef Baker E and bread from Wildflour bakery.

At this time, hours are 12 noon to 8 p.m. daily. You can find Green Aisle at 1618 E. Passyunk Avenue and you can follow them on twitter for updates on specials as well as what’s in stock.
