Spread out among the retro - chic sofas and love seats of
the Bar Hygge brewpub in Philadelphia's gentrified Fairmount neighborhood, a class of ninth - graders from Vaux Big Picture High School listens to restaurant co-owner Stew Keener talk about the collaboration and problem - solving that occurs on a daily basis in the food business.
The visit to
Bar Hygge is part of a required course in which freshmen spend one afternoon each week visiting a different business or community organization in order to identify internship opportunities they'd like to pursue in their sophomore year.
Bar Hygge (pronounced «huu - guh» and which means «taking genuine pleasure in making ordinary, everyday things more meaningful, beautiful or special») can be found in the Spring Garden neighborhood.
