Very Bad Horse
606 N 2nd St
Philadelphia, PA 19123
(215) 627-6989

www.verybadhorse.com

Tré chic in delectable denim describes Very Bad Horse’s themed mainstays, Northern Liberties number one clothier for western nightlife fashions. Proprietor and on site designer Kim Montenegro aims to create both stunning lines of clothing as well as an equally enchanting browsing environment. The unmistakable scent of chickaree permeates Very Bad Horse’s georgic space: Montenegro furbishes her shoppe with old wood, radiant with musky fragrances of prairie homesteads. To seal the overall aesthetic-second to her robust and rugged designs-Montenegro further accentuates the shopper’s experience with Victorian antiques in ornate varieties. Most garbs are allotted for gals going for the voguish cowgirl look, but unisex couture is available as well, with a few garments in kid sizes-more to come soon. Apart from other independent designers, Very Bad Horse is the only kind of its breed of the western, modern mode; and to boot, Montenegro is a charming and delightful host with an extra helping of hospitality to match her wealth of talent. Lastly, Very Bad Horse now auctions select garments on EBay. Visit their web site to learn more.

Expanded Tax Break Available for First Time Homebuyers!

CITYSPACE | February 26th, 2009 | 1 Comment »

This just in, free money for first time homebuyers! According to the Internal Revenue Service, “taxpayers who qualify for the first-time homebuyer credit and purchase a home this year before December 1st have a special option available for claiming the tax credit either on their 2008 tax returns due April 15 or on their 2009 tax returns next year.” What does this mean for you? Simple – if you buy a home this year, before December 1, you can get up to an $8,000 credit or, $4,000 credit for married filing separately. And – that’s right, you don’t have to pay it back (as long as the home remains your main residency for 36 months after the purchase date) – which is money in your pocket! Check out some of the links below to find out more!

Projects Gallery: A Pocket-Sized Venue with Art Museum Quality.

CITYSPACE | February 25th, 2009 | No Comments »

Gallery Overview
By Aaron  Stella


Projects Gallery
629 N 2nd St
Philadelphia, PA 19123
(267) 303-9652
www.projectsgallery.com

Northern Liberties plays host to both its business and artistic community: Projects Gallery provides a venue enjoyable by all. Despite their modest storefront window, the gallery’s quarters are spacious with the intent of exhibiting multiple works from their stable of artists. Contemporary, figurative, and expressionist paintings define the theme of the gallery’s predominant genres, although works infrequently stray, making room for deviation. Current shows on display are Obamarama and Guilty Pleasures. Notable works from Obamarama include a Hillary Clinton Sphinx, and piece comprised of a protruding tank nozzle with a backsplash of abstract Iraq war scenes. Disparately, Guilty Pleasures exposes (literally) genitalia, cigarettes, and even Hershey’s Kisses in various obscure configurations to comment on the myriad forms of common, clandestinely sought indulgences. At the moment, Projects Gallery is not actively seeking physical art submissions from artists outside of their stable, but digital photographs of pieces may be submitted, which the gallery’s curators will review on a biannual basis. Projects Gallery is proud to announce that they will be featured in Art News in the April edition, which is a true testament of the quality and prestige of the artists in their stable and the gallery’s keen eye for excellence. Project’s Gallery current hours are Wednesdays & Thursdays from 4 to 7 p.m. and Fridays & Saturdays from noon to 7 p.m. Visit the gallery’s web site for more information on current and past exhibits and to learn more about the submission process.

Art Star: Northern Liberties’ Gallery/Boutique of Cute and Strange

CITYSPACE | February 23rd, 2009 | No Comments »

Store Overview by Aaron Stella

Art Star
623 N 2nd St
Philadelphia PA, 19123
215-238-1557
www.artstarphilly.com

Both consignment boutique and art gallery, Art Star – located on a sweet little retail row on 2nd Street in Northern Liberties, offers assorted choice craft and artwork from local artists while doubling as an art venue. You can find just about anything there, from stylized, bohemian garb (blouses, t-shirts, long sleeves, dress and casual), to wacky stuffed animals (remember space invaders? They’re stuffed, too), to home décor accessories than can fit into just about any theme. But not everything is “cute”; Art Star’s composite of craftwork sometimes enters into the ferocious avant-garde. (Think deranged monsters and macabre maelstroms etched to wood or designed to blouses and T’s). If one had to sum up the featured art at Art Star, “Alternative Modern” is the genre that seems to best encompass its madcap miscellany of craft goods. If you’re an artist yourself and are looking to consign or exhibit your work, visit www.artstarphilly.com to get submission details. Exhibitions rotate about every six weeks; there is ample floor and wall space to accommodate even larger installments. For curious shoppers, Art Star adds newly consigned craftwork often so frequent visits are encouraged.

Soy Café: Smoothie Cafe with Cool Threads to Spare

CITYSPACE | February 23rd, 2009 | No Comments »

Restaurant Review
by Aaron  Stella

Soy Café
630 N 2nd St
Philadelphia, PA 19123
(215) 922-1003
www.soycafe.net

Soy Café in Northern Liberties is an haute hangout spot and vintage clothier. In chambers consummated with leaf-stenciled crown moldings, a motley medley of furniture can be found, of sable church pews, big comfy chairs and every ilk of colorful patio furnishings. Children’s storybooks and photography anthologies are stocked in the café’s shelves and are available for perusing (not to mention an etch-n-sketch or two, if the spirit moves you). After their coffees, cappuccinos, and teas—served in elegant china festooned in gold—there’s a smorgasbord of smoothies waiting for you to devour (banana, strawberry, kiwi, mango, blueberry, etc.). And save room for good eats: incorporated into the staples of soup, salads, and sandwiches are Asian nuances to old favorites, employing ingredients like fresh seaweed, tofu, crab, lobster, and miso. Breakfast fare is available all day. Be sure to try the sweet toasts and homemade soy dots, which taste like mini Belgium waffles. While your enjoying a meal or beverage, take a look-see inside the rear parlor, where you will find blouses, dresses, and t-shirts, in classic, vintage fashions, along with a modest menagerie of craft jewelry and eccentric wood puzzles. Soy café is a neighborhood favorite, so to accommodate their growing patronage, food can be ordered in or taken out.
