Tom's Place, a Kensington Market clothing instutiton, has an annual spring warehouse sale at the Miles Nadal JCC and it's on now until Sunday. I went several years ago and it was stuffed full of both people AND bargains. The flyer claims that there'll be even more bargains than usual to mark the store's 50th anniversary.
The JCC is hopping this weekend! In addition to the clothing sale, Ralph Benmergui will be on hand Sunday to show sneak peeks of and to discuss My Israel, a documentary series that will air on VisionTV May 5 to 7 to mark Israel's 60th anniversary. Benmergui hosts and is executive producer of the series. Admission is free to his talk, which gets underway at 11:45 am.
