PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Mt. Airy is hosting its very first independent street fair on Thursday, September 19th. Fair director Elizabeth Moselle says it's called "Sip, Savor, Stroll." She says Germantown Avenue will be shut down for the evening.
"For two years previous to this we've partnered with the Food Trust, and we've put on a fabulous event with Night Market. We're huge supporters of Night Market, we love them, but it was time to do our own, new brand and put a Mt. Airy spin on it," Moselle tells What's Cooking.
