Two of our favorite Inquirer reporters have to be Michael Klein and Craig Laban, mainly because they tell us about cool new restaurants and bars, and the yumminess factor of each. We can't explain it, but we are FASCINATED by new restaurants/bars and they possibilities they hold. It's more than just a new place to eat, the possibility that it might become an old-standby and the memories we might make there. It's an intangible, something about the whole process that is just intriguing and always so exciting. It's the style involved in the design. It's the new cuisine that might broaden horizons. Mainly, we think it's the possibility that a new place brings to a neighborhood, especially those that are still expanding and growing. A new place in Franklintown means more people coming to Franklintown, which means more life on formerly empty streets which brings more businesses to serve them and more people to live there. This may sound a little crazy but a new restaurant or bar, more than almost any other kind of business, can mean new life for an old place. The magic of economic expansion and growth. And that is one of the most exciting changes anyone who loves this city can see.
That said, here is a link to Craig Laban's online chat for this week, held every Tuesday over at Philly.com:
