1. Per Lei Boutique. The new location in Newtown Square is so beautiful. They’re so helpful when I’m trying on clothes and choosing items. I also love to pop in for jewelry and accessories for last-minute gifts. 101 Squire Drive, Newtown Square, (267) 201-6360.
2. Carlino’s Market. Being in the event biz, I always need a go-to for party food, whether it’s strombolis, pizza, charcuterie boards or desserts. I always recommend Carlino’s catering to clients for graduation parties, grand-opening celebrations, celebratory dinners and more. 2616 E. County Line Road, Ardmore; 128 W. Market St., West Chester; (610) 649-4046.
3. Elegance Cafe. When I’m in between meetings or want to treat myself, I stop here for an unsweetened iced tea and a slice of their homemade quiche. And their dessert selection is huge! 131 N. Wayne Ave., Wayne, (610) 687-5454.
4. Headroom. When I need to meet with my local team, I love spending time at this coworking space. All locations are always quiet, have a great coffee setup and allow me to focus on my to-do list. 230 Sugartown Road, Wayne; 24 Veterans Square, Media; 211 N. Olive St., Media; (608) 813-8045.
5. Main Point Books. The downstairs is a mecca for kids. My 3-year-old daughter loves playing with the toys and exploring adventures through new books. I never leave empty-handed. 116 N. Wayne Ave., Wayne, (484) 580-6978.
