(MICHAEL KLEIN / Philly.com) Much is being made about Jose Garces' go-for-broke dining experience that will be Volver, which opens April 16* at the Kimmel Center. While patrons must buy tickets for their Volver experience, there's a drop-in alternative next door: Bar Volver, the comfy champagne and caviar lounge, which opened Wednesday night.

It's not a dinner spot, by any means.

Philebrity.com. Vienna Street Books - Craft Classes. The Japanese binding is one of the most basic bindings. It is easy to learn and has many applications such as a photo album. A Review of several classes by Lucretia Coleman: " I recently attended two of Minna's workshops (Basic Bookbinding and Decorative Papers) and I LOVED both workshops.

Minna is extremely talented--both as an artist and an instructor. I had a WONDERFUL time learning the basics of each workshop and I came away with my new creative treasures...anxious to start applying what I learned and just having fun! You've got to take one (or more) of Minna's workshops...no matter what your artistic level.
