Art For Your Kitchen

We put art everywhere in our house, and we love screenprints and original handmade pieces.

When we decided to freshen our kitchen up with some new paint, we wanted to find artwork that could blend with our contemporary kitchen, and our collection of retro kitchen collections.
Here are some we loved and wanted to share with you!

The battle is over, Paesano's 152 W. Girard in Fishtown/Nolibs, has one the honor of "Best Italian Hoagie in the Philadelphia Area."

New "six-stool, mostly takeout eatery" that just opened after Thanksgiving. "Delectable mix of mortadella, prosciutto and ham ... perfect amount of sharp provolone ... a dark green lettuce ... on a crispy seeded roll," Macnow writes. "Folks, we have ourselves a winner."

I do have to agree, Paesano's has been open for almost a year now and has amazing Italian food and sandwhiches. Paesano's was opened by Peter McAndrews owner and Chef of Modo Mio, (located right across the street from Paesano's.) Everything on the menu is amazing, upon entering you are always greeted with a friendly face, but you may have a hard time finding a stool, they have limited seating but I would sit anywhere to get a Paesano's sandwhich. They have daily specials up on the board and always find a minute to strike up a conversation with you while they are cooking in front of you and running around with orders. Most items on the menu are under $9, but dont forget to bring your wallet cause they are cash only. Paesano's is a must eat for anyone!

Viva Mexico

Finally after living in Fishtown for a few years now we finally remembered to stop by Las Cazuelas when we had some hunger pangs. Las Cazuelas has been around since November 1999, and has been quite successful at its NoLibs location on 426 W Girard Ave. This is a perfect place for authentic Mexican food, we were very impressed by the food and we had flashbacks of a vacation to Ecuador while eating the delicious ceviche. This was the first place we were able to find ceviche made the authentic way in Philly. Las Cazuelas is a cozy BYOB wtih moderate prices, great authentic cuisine, with a relaxed cozy atmosphere.

We are huge fans of Silk City, as we've mentioned many times before, but when we thought it couldn't get any better they throw us the finally completed Beer Garden. We have watched the construction go on all winter and now it is open for business. Upon entering, you feel like you have traveled to a place that is no longer Philly, but with the good old traits of the Silk. Huge decorated walls and metal sculptures adorn the garden and make it a fun place to eat, drink and hangout. I can definitely see Mark's, influence in the design and it reminds me of his other place North 3rd. The garden has a full wooden bar, tons of beach influenced tables and huge chairs that make you feel like your the life guard on duty of Bay Watch.
