fter curing a batch of salmon together one day, Collin Shapiro and Jonathon Zilber discovered they had nothing to compliment their meal—and decided to try their hand at making bagels. “We had made some fish, but didn’t think about how we were going to be serving it,” said Zilber, a Kensington resident. “It was serendipitous. We had this fish, and then bagels are obviously the natural vehicle for eating such a food. We just whipped up a batch on the fly and were so enamored with how good they were.” The duo’s efforts in the kitchen came to fruition Saturday for the grand opening of Philly Style Bagels at the corner of Columbia Avenue and Sepviva Street, with lines of customers spilling down the block for most of the morning. The eatery’s current roster includes sesame, everything, plain, onion, salt, garlic and poppy-seed bagels, with more flavors currently in the works. Bagel sandwiches and specialty cream cheeses—like salmon and jalapeño spreads—are available as well. Shapiro, a 2011 communication studies alumnus, and Zilber first met in 2009 while working as stock boys at The Foodery, a craft-beer bottle shop in Northern Liberties, and quickly bonded over their love of brewing, meeting up few times a month to make beer, cook fish and occasionally make bagels.

For photographers, an unusual subject The Da Vinci Art Alliance’s latest exhibit asked Philadelphia photographers to use mannequins as their subjects.
By ERIN BLEWETT The Temple News While walking from the Market-Frankford line to PATCO during her daily commute, Laura Storck began to photograph mannequins in Center City window displays as a way to pass the time. The photos inspired Storck to see what other Philadelphia photographers might do with mannequins as their subjects, so she created and curated a photography exhibit called “Mannequin: A Group Photography Exhibition.” The exhibit, open until Jan. 31, is on display at Da Vinci Art Alliance, a nonprofit art gallery funded entirely by its members. The gallery is located at 704 Catharine St. in Queen Village. “I am thrilled that I was able to leverage the mundane task of work travel into this exciting opportunity,” Storck said.

“I just find [mannequins] very quirky and interesting,” she added. “It is kind of fascinating to see how each window display is decorated. When I started putting the word out, and people were interested in the show, I just had no idea that so many people were interested in taking pictures of mannequins.” Storck started planning the show last June, she said, and personally invited each of the 30 artists who were featured in the show. “I was impressed with the show,” said John Baccile, one of the photographers featured in the exhibit. “I was pleasantly surprised to see the mannequin that I trash-picked for [Storck] had been adopted as the centerpiece and inspiration for her ‘Lauraquin’ entry.” The exhibit was presented in an entirely white space, with
