Surf and Turf

Boba Bliss

Celebrate by ordering from a local tea shop, like Cup of Dreams in Paoli, Cocobear in Pottstown or Kung Fu Tea, with locations in West Chester, Ardmore, Media and more.

Feel-Good Food

Keep an eye out for a second Rosalie location coming to Glen Mills. Located in the former Ruby’s Diner at the Shoppes at Brinton Lake, across from White Dog Café (also owned by Fearless Restaurants), it will feature the same Italian soul food from executive chef Merick Devine loved by fans of the Wayne Hotel location. The new Rosalie is expected to open before the end of the year. 919 Baltimore Pk., Glen Mills. RosalieWayne.com.
