The Green Line Cafe
Although this is not news to anyone who lives in West Philly, Green Line's taking over. I'm not talking about the trolley. Known for its strong neighborhood communities (and sub-cultures), West Phillyites rightfully mope about the lack of restaurants and other establishments in their 'hood. Although Vietnamese hoagies and pastries aren't a huge leap for mankind, the new Green Line on Locust has a larger meeting place that is out of its other shops' usual orbit. All the sun streaming in the large windows and reflecting back from flawless hardwood floors still can't combat the somewhat "industrial" vibe this new shop carries. But the space is larger and has potential to be a future venue for art shows and other events that the smaller, older Green Line babies can't accommodate. We are excited.
