Love is in the air, the sun is setting AFTER 5pm, and February is jam-packed with cool events and goings-on. In fact, it is so packed that the Phoenixville Curated team decided to make a change…
Instead of our newsletter going out once/month, we’re now sending it out twice/month. We hope this schedule change will make the newsletter content more timely and actionable, so you can make the most of living in this great area. The next February newsletter will go out on Monday Feb 16th.
Here’s what’s inside. Happy reading!

Featured Deal: Valentine’s Dinner Kits from Rivertown Taps
Want a romantic Valentine’s dinner at home without the added stress of searching for the perfect recipe, sourcing fresh ingredients, or, you know, actually knowing how to cook? Our friends at Rivertown Taps have you covered.
This Valentine’s Day, the team at Rivertown is offering a limited run of fresh, chef-prepared dinner kits that take all the guesswork out of cooking a romantic dinner. Everything is prepped and ready to go. You just finish it at home and enjoy! Choose between lobster bolognese or beef cheek ragu, and each kit also includes a dessert (we highly recomend the banoffee tartlet…) and a half bottle of bubbles.
The deal? Phoenixville Curated newsletter subscribers recieve 10% off! Just make sure you note in the survey that you heard about this offer through this newsletter to receive the discount.
Ordering is open until Saturday Feb 7th!
