Best of Main Line - Narberth Winners

I love best of lists, and this one, from Main Line Today, is always good.

Selfishly, I'd prefer they stuck to the Main Line, instead of Western suburbs like Coatesville, Downingtown, and Phoenixville, but I still love seeing the list, and always enjoy the big #BOMLT party they throw every July.

Here are some Narberth Borough winners, plus a couple of non-Narberth local faves:
