This weekend on FYI Philly we visit some old spaces springing to life as new places. We look inside the renovated Bourse. We visit Craft Hall which has taken over the old Yards Brewery. We welcome back another year of Philly Wine Week, get a women's history lesson in old city and taste some new offerings at the Bok Building. Plus, a recipe you can make at home and some clean eating ideas from people who have seen the results. FYI Philly airs Saturday at 7p and Sunday night at midnight after Action News.

It's been transformed into a huge venue dedicated to few a crafts we all like.
