Four Chestnut Hill businesses were named to this year’s prestigious Best of Philly list!
CURE de Repos was recognized as Best New Spa. With a mission statement to provide a “personal touch, high-end service, outstanding customer service, cleanliness and the ultimate boutique spa experience,” the luxury facility offers 10 different kinds of facials, eyelash and eyebrow tinting, massages, waxing, makeup application (with bridal and prom packages available) and organic spray tanning. Monthly specials offered. 8133 Germantown Ave., Philadelphia; phone: (202) 643-7377
Market at the Fareway took home the award for Best Food Destination. The former farmer’s market has made great strides by renovating and refurbishing the building and expanding its culinary options to include grab-and-go items, grocery staples, various ethnic cuisine and events and classes. With numerous vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options, no shopper goes hungry. The market is environmentally friendly and recycles every last bit of cardboard, plastic, cooking oil, glass and food scraps. Take advantage of good weather days and sit outside in the market’s impressive, aesthetically pleasing Pavilion, which boasts benches and colorful oversized armchairs, a fire pit, Ping Pong tables, fountains and gardens that rotate by season. Pets are welcome, and if you’re traveling on four wheels, there’s a bike rack for you to lock up your wheels. A truly unique gastronomic experience with a beautiful view of the city to boot. 8229 Building D – Germantown Ave., Philadelphia; phone: (570) 726-7030
Rebel Yoga Studio rocked this year’s Best New Yoga Studio accolade. This zen space is much more than just a yoga studio, though: it’s a hybrid of yoga studio, juice and snack bar and clothing store. From the novice yogi to the daily devotee, there’s a class for every level, in both heated and non-heated environments. After working up a peaceful sweat, head on over to the Canteen and sip or nibble on a healthy treat—all food and beverage items are organic, locally sourced and best of all, tasty. Treat yourself to some new yoga apparel with popular brands like Alo and Spiritual Gangster, or browse Rebel’s own designs. 8020 Germantown Ave., Philadelphia; phone: (215) 242-YOGA
Women’s apparel store Style Camp was recognized for Best Wardrobe Makeover. This is the place to go for one-of-a-kind contemporary threads, accessories, jewelry and gifts. Not sure what you want? Go ahead and book a personal shopping session. Mother-and-daughter owners Bitsy and Natalie Rhoda will even come to your home for an individual whole-closet consultation. Going chic has never been so easy. 9 W. Highland Ave., Philadelphia; phone: (215) 242-3108
