Main Street Pizzeria & Grille: BYOB to This Family-Owned Italian Fare Eatery

Based on the name alone, you might imagine that Main Street Pizzeria & Grille in Lansdale is your standard neighborhood pizza joint. You would not be entirely wrong in making that assumption, as the Sowhangar family’s restaurant makes a mean margherita pie in addition to cheese steaks, hoagies, and gyros.

But this Lansdale BYOB is also much more than your standard “pick-up or delivery?” place. The newly renovated dining rooms are decorated with murals from a local artist and tasteful centerpieces sit atop each table. The menu features traditional Italian fare favorites like veal saltimbocca and shrimp fra diavolo, which you can enjoy in the dining room, or you can invite 15 of your closest friends to join you in the restaurant's private dining room.

If it’s your first time ordering from Main Street, here’s a tip: Head over to the website and check out the current coupons before you place your order.

Sip a Beer Flight at Round Guys Brewing Company

Conveniently located just down the street from the Lansdale SEPTA station, Round Guys Brewing Company is the work of old friends Scott Rudich and Rich DiLiberto, who founded the business in 2012. Within months they began supplying beer to bars and taverns all over the region, and eventually opened their own brewpub in Lansdale.

The food menu offers inventive twists on standard pub fare (chicken dip, house-made chili, nachos, and sandwiches) but beer is the main attraction at this place. There are more than a dozen different options on tap, with alternatives ready in casks. Most of the beer will be Round Guys originals, like the popular "Kiss Off IPA," the crisp, fresh "Lansdale Lager," and the dessert-like "Uncle Ebeneezer" coffee-based stout, but there are always a few taps featuring beer from other craft brewers. Ask your bartender for a recommendation, or better yet, try a flight of beers to see what you like!

How to Safely Exercise Outdoors During the Summer

Even if you’re a very fit person, exercising outdoors in hot summer weather can be dangerous. Unless you take the necessary precautions, the heat and humidity can cause dehydration, dizziness, and exhaustion. Here are a few smart tips to help you exercise safely outside all summer long.

  • Stay hydrated. This one may seem obvious, but dehydration is the leading cause of illness and injury during hot weather exercise. Be sure to drink a lot of water not only during and after exercise, but also beforehand to fuel your body for your workout.
  • Choose smart times. Because the sun is lower (and so is the temperature) during the morning and evening, these are the smartest times to exercise outdoors.
  • Wear the right clothes. While you might wear sweatpants to exercise outdoors in the fall, you should invest in something lightweight and absorbent in the summer. Try synthetic fabrics like Spandex and Lycra, as these wick away moisture.
  • Listen to your body. Even if you’ve only been running for 10 minutes, that might be too much for your body in the dog days of summer. If you start to feel lightheaded and dizzy while exercising, make sure that you stop or slow down, no matter how long it’s been.
