Townhomes, condos and apartments: Northern Liberties is on the make. Last Sunday were four open houses for some of the finest homes NoLibs has to offer, with prices ranging from $549.9K-$825K. All homes are located near hubs of commerce and comfort acclaimed by Northern Libertines, such the 2nd street promenade, Liberties Walk and Liberties Lands Park. Best of all, “green” is much more than the new chic: it’s a way of life, and these homes have it in spades. Take a look below for the specs on these beautiful homes in Northern Liberties.

A quick note: many of the new NoLibs homes are LEED-certified. That means that a credible third party agent has audited the structure and eco-friendliness of the home and has concluded that the home is, at minimum, 50% more energy efficient in cooling and domestic hot water energy usage than required by code. There are different levels of LEED certification (certified, silver, gold and platinum) each indicate the level of energy efficiency each home possesses. For more information on LEED certification, visit www.leedphilly.com.

Are you the proud owner of the latest new cell phone, color printer, PDA, MP3 player or other dazzling digital device? Now that I have the iphone, I’m committed to Apple for life but I’m still surrounded by constant reminders of my past electronic relationships with all of the chargers, car accessories, batteries and related gizmos and gadgets around the house. Thanks to electronic recycling at Best Buy, I can clean house and focus on my new love, the iphone (just keep me away from the accessories aisle!)

ALL Best Buy stores nationwide offer recycling free of charge for most electronics products including batteries, cell phones, ink cartridges, CDs, DVDs, PDA’s, and even TVs and computers (some small fees do apply on certain items but these are often offset by a Best Buy gift card!) Click here for a list of FAQs on recycling policies and procedures and read all about this eco-friendly intiative here.

Local organizations often accept smaller e-waste items so check with your neighborhood organization. Kudos to the Northern Liberties Neighborhood Association for launching an effort to collect and recycle batteries and cell phones – find out more at NLNA’s website - and use this St. Patrick’s Day to make the world a little greener by taking your e-waste to a recycling center!

Looking for a green home, a place to paint green or a new space that will earn you some green? Check out all local real estate listings by clicking here and have a safe and Happy St. Patty’s Day!

As far as its name, “Foodery” belies the presence of its fridge containing more than 800 American and Imported Craft beers and counting. At the Foodery, located in the eco-friendly, pseudo hipster neighborhood of Northern Liberties, you can create your own custom six or twelve-pack, and save ten percent on the total (not too shabby). And don’t be shy to ask for help. With more than 800 beers, the staff is more than happy to be a part of orchestrating your next brew-venture. But aside from all this beer talk, this doesn’t mean the Foodery doesn’t carry food—on the contrary. The Foodery carries all your cold cuts favorites and then some, complete with a toothsome selection of sandwiches, subs and salads, including make-your-owns. Be sure to take advantage of their sitting area, which looks onto the 2nd Street promenade of NoLibs. As per tradition with NoLibs purveyors, everything is kept fresh and bought local. Probably the Foodery’s most popular attraction is their Thursday night free beer tasting offered from 6-8 pm with a different brewery featured every week. Other free tastings happen periodically throughout the year, sometimes lasting up to a full week. And all upcoming tastings are posted on their website.
