Manayunk Today:
Manayunk today is a very upbeat neighborhood. There are many little shops and fine restaurants. The hot topic for Main Street these days is recycling or going green. There is a new trend for second hand shops for slightly used clothes, shoes, hats, and others articles to wear. There are also many stores for home improvement and kitchen applyensess. Overall Manayunk is just an all around very relaxing place to spend time. There are coffee shops and book stores. There are so many things to do in such a small radius of space.
Main Street in Manayunk is a very trendy, with-it, type of place to be. A lot of style to process. It has a lot of main stream places like coffee shops and book stores but, as you can see in the picture above, there are very unique stores like Village Spices, where they have imported ingredients from all over the world that are probably really hard o find. Main street has a lot of "smart" shops. Like Green Street. Green Street is a little shop that buys or trades gently used clothing so that they can refurbish them and resell them. It is a very "green" town and place to shop. It is also very art oriented. There are many places to get photography and paintings but, there are also many places to show your own work or sell it or auction it or even enter in a gallery.
