Join us to experience living tradition in South Philly! We’ll start with a tour at Termini Bakery, opened 105 years ago by two brothers from Sicily and still proudly run by the family on South 8th Street across from its original location. Three generations of Terminis have been creating cakes, cookies and cannolis using the same handmade techniques passed down by the original owners, Giuseppe and Gaetano. We’ll see today’s bakers at work during our guided tour, and top off the visit by sampling one of their celebrated cannolis. It’s up to you to decide whether to buy more pastries to take home. Next we’ll head to Philly Typewriter on Passyunk Ave., where we’ll encounter real old-time typewriters, some of which have been clackety-clacking since the turn of the 20th century. Our guide will explain how these essential business tools changed through the decades and how they are being preserved today. At Philly Typewriter, even some of the oldest models, which were built to last, are refurbished to make it through another century. We’ll end with lunch at Frieda restaurant, a home for delicious locally sourced food and home-baked pastries, which also offers unique handcrafted gifts.
