A bloomy vegan blue that will make you reexamine all your vegan cheese opinions.
Lemonade from Micah’s Mixx
Sweet-tart lemonade made as God intended: by the hands of an entrepreneurial 10-year-old boy.

It’s as if this salad of chunky vegetables, eggs and hunks of poached tuna was designed specifically for picnics.
CSW Red Wine from Mural City Cellars
A gluggable red (they call it a “patio pounder,” which is fun), best glugged chilled. Only $19, too.
Cherry Hand Pies from Little Susie’s
Because carrying a whole cherry pie around in a basket is a … precarious endeavor.
Gravlax from Biederman’s
Hand-sliced slivers of silky salmon cured in vodka and plenty of dill, from Philly’s newest Jewish appetizing shop.
Baguette from Crème Brûlée Bistro & Café
