New places on Passyunk

[Oladybug]

Sorry to hear that, have they live in the area a long time ? The coffee shop on E Passyunk near 13th Street was closed for a variety of reasons and I was told one was excess noise late at night. Did they complain to the LCB, L&I or the police ?

I heard that complaints were made to the police, Councilman DiCicco, the EPA BID, etc., but nothing was resolved, from what I understand.

Since there is a new councilman it may help to talk with him.

Really, what could they be doing that would disturb neighbors, who are not even on the same block? Seriously, it's on Passyunk, not on some tiny street.

As for complaining, good luck with that, I'd venture that the owners of SJ have a good bit more pull than whomever is doing the complaining.

He is more or less the same person, so good luck with that.

According to some neighbors who live nearby, on the 1300 block of Moore, the live music emanating from SJ's is at a decibel over and above what's legal so that even with their doors and windows shut, they can still hear the music.

This certainly appears to be the case.

This is probably true.

So for all of the above reasons, at least one (more likely two) neighbor is giving up the fight and selling his house.

Sad news: Artisan Boulanger Patissier is moving from their current half-block-from-my-house location all the way to the old Nino's Pasta at 1208 Mifflin. Although this means little to most of you, and may be a net positive to the area drawing foot traffic south and east a bit, I view this as an unmitigated tragedy. #FirstWorldProblems

I heard about this also and since I live on the block behind you I am equally sad. some days I don't even bother to go buy a coat to get bread. Super Tragedy.

The only way this could be mitigated is if whatever goes there is AWESOME! But it will be a tall order to fill the shoes of ABP......which coincidentally is the same abbreviation I use for Au Bon Pain which is almost blasphemous.

Considering they're moving literally around the corner from me, I have to disagree with your assessment of the sadness of this news...

Agreed, this is entirely too far from me now.

They are saving quite a bit on rent and it's nice to see that Nino's space is being filled. Clearly the current space will be picked up with the strength of Passyunk right now.

Maybe. I think the property's zoned C-1, which could cause some issues.

I noticed today, Soap is back.

Is it the same place/ownership?

Check out this other thread on Soap on the Avenue. The last few posts should answer most of your questions.

So has anyone tried the latest iteration of the restaurant that now calls itself Green Olives on the block across the vacant Colombo's? I had lunch there once time last January when it was Mondial and really enjoyed it; I remembering having delicious homemade chicken soup and a slice of spinach pie. Am wondering why it just doesn't catch on. Do you think it's because it's on the tail end of the Avenue?

No, not really.
