We're still clearing out the sour-cherry Valentine's hearts so we can restock the candy dish with Irish potatoes for St. Patrick's Day. Over at Max Brenner cafe and candy store (1500 Walnut St., 215-344-8150, maxbrenner.com), though, they're clearly thinking spring in a new line of flower-powered tins filled with Brenner faves. Try the Spring Praline Box, 18 sweets for $23.90. Or go crazy with the $89 Large Premium Collection Box, wich has everything from caramelized pistachios rolled in hazelnut cream and cocoa powder to the aptly named Addiction, milk chocolate cubes filled with hazelnut cream and caramelized pecan bits.
Eats Beat: Spring candies from Max Brenner
Should you find yourself near Collegeville and in need of a kebab, Zoës Kitchen, a Mediterranean-inspired fast-casual eatery, has opened there (161 Market St., Facebook.com/ZoesKitchen). Made-from-scratch and quality ingredients are hallmarks for the 81-location chain, founded in 1995. Zoës' menu includes vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free dishes. This is its first Pennsylvania location. Opening celebrations include a giveaway with a grand prize of a year's worth of Zoës goodies. The contest continues through March 11 on Facebook.
