NEWS & NOTES

Lower Merion and Narberth - Stuff you should know

2/5/2025

 
Picture
Superbowl Edition (plus some local trash info)
Superbowl Weekend in Narberth and LM
Whether you're going out or staying in for the big game, we collected a few food and beverage options to help get you started. Plus, since it's the beginning of the new year, we also added some 2025 trash and recycling info that may come in handy. 

​
Go Birds!

Picture
First Friday/Pep Rally
Can't wait for the game on Sunday? Narberth's Mayor will lead a quick pep rally at 6pm in downtown Narberth to kick off First Friday. So come for the Eagles fight song, and stick around for a bite and a beverage at your favorite locals. Sweet Mabel will have an art opening with refreshments, and the Greeks Next Door always has something interesting to taste on Fridays.

Picture
The Greeks - Narberth
If you want to go out and join the crowd for the big game, The Greeks is a great place to do it. Their all-you-can-eat buffet should keep you satisfied while you watch the Birds put a beating on Mahomes!

Picture
The Great American Pub of Narberth
Another local favorite has $1 wings for the game, and offers a choice for your beverage consumption.

Picture
Carlino's - Ardmore
Having people over, or bringing food to a friend's house? Carlino's has a bunch of gameday takeout options, both sweet and savory. Their tomato pie is amazing, but if they run out, we also saw some this week over at the Wynnewood Giant. Order from Carlino's online here.

Picture
Philly Pretzel Factory
​
What's more Philly than a soft pretzel? They don't sell this Saquon masterpiece at the local Philly Pretzel Factories, but you can order a party tray of mini-pretzels with mustard and dips, and they have an app that lets your order ahead. We go to the location at Bryn Mawr Ave & City Line. Find your store here

Picture
LM Spring Clean-Up Weekends
​LM residents can bring their junk to the dump on two April weekends this year - April 5 & 6 and April 26 & 27. Bring your ID to show you live in LM. If you live in Narberth, the Borough will pick up junk curbside during "Junk Week" in the first week of June. Bookmark this page for the latest on local trash and recycling. 

Picture
Narberth Calendar
​Still like to hang an old-school paper calendar in your kitchen? So do we! This free print calendar has all the Narberth weekly trash pickup dates, plus all the big 2025 events in the Borough. Pick up a copy at Borough Hall (on the wall outside the office) or at Sweet Mabel and other local stores. If you can't find a copy, just email Ed. It's also online here.
