New Leaf Club

This a really cool place!  

They have really long hours so its like they're always open!
M-T-W 7:45am to 9pm
Th-F 7:45am to 10pm
Sat 8:30am to 10pm
Sun 8:30am to 5pm

The place is very accessible with a huge parking lot and its right next to the Rosemont train station.

When I walked in, Joe G and Erica greeted me and gave me a tour! Such nice people!

The front area has snacks and drinks. It's setup like a cafe, lots of tables and there are even board games if you have time to play! No pressure, you can chill/ loiter here all day!  There is a patio area with an awning and in the back, there is the main room for performances, movie night, or whatever. It can hold up to 200 people.  Then, there is a yoga room. And upstairs, a meeting room that can hold up to 50 people.

They have YOGA everyday! And it's a pay what you want to kind of thing! So, $5, 10, 20, whatever!
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 4pm.
Tuesday and Thursday at 9am
Saturday at 2pm
Sunday at 12pm.
The yoga room can also be used for classes for meditation, dance, fitness, instrumental and so on.  Lots of potential for the future!

The main room is great for lectures, recitals, art exhibits, and workshops.
They have OPEN MIC NIGHTS Thursdays 8-10pm.  Anyone can showcase their talents.  I know my brother was into playing his guitar and singing at Milk Boy so this is like the same thing. Also, Friday and Saturday nights, the have bands come to perform.

They also have acting and writing workshops.  Since this is a nonprofit, they also love volunteers!  Check it out... If anything, it's somewhere to go if you need to leave the house.

This place has a huge open mic room that reminds me of the old Bryn Mawr Point, but with pleasant and super friendly staff, not stuffy pricks like the Point had. I'm sure I'll go here frequently but I wish they had a better breakfast selection. Regardless, there's no other hippie treehugger place like it around right now so it gets the royal star treatment.

I  discovered  the New Leaf Club n Rosemont  which is now operating from the  former Smith & Hawkins Garden store  because I attended  a  group meeting here.  I have been harping    for awhile  for the Mainline to get a  juice bar and  for a new  cafe to  open up that  promotes  healthy  eating  options.  New Leaf is  this  and SO very much more.  New Leaf   is a  wonderful cafe  but it  also is a yoga  studio AND they have music performances  AND  they have  an art gallery AND they offer meditation classes.  The  space is wonderful- the cafe is separate  from the  gorgeous, new  yoga  studio and the  performance  venue is separate  from the  yoga    room and the cafe.   I  am into  raw  juices  and had a fantastic  carrot, beet, apple and lemon   juice here  but they are a full service cafe with coffee drinks and food.  Nice tables.  The place  was  run by happy, warm   inviting   people.

This place is hidden (  it is across  from the Penndot center) and there is  lots of parking lot  parking- free.  

I am so  excited and happy  about this  new cafe  that   it  deserves  6  stars.  

Go there!   Oh they  have a  website <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newleaf.org&s=964fcf178361e41edbdc16b6176bc841ab366d4080feca33f5057597d8cea2f2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.newleaf.org</a> and  it is a  non profit  place.  

Maybe  there is hope  for the Mainline.  The New Leaf  Club is  a step in   change  and  new and fresh mind/body and spirit attitude   that this area  needs.  Thank you!!!!!!!
