New places on Passyunk

[luchobucho]

Saw this on Next's door today. Didn't know they were related to Today's Style. Although I've never shopped there, I hope it's a temporary staffing problem and not a sign of things to come. Anybody know what's up?

Hmmm strange!

They have a common owner and the manager may be sick or something. I wouldn't read too much into it.

1909 E. Passyunk (where Sticks & Stones was) is becoming Noir - "40s/'50s-style American-French menu, jazz music, and black-and-white noir movies."

Not to be confused with the former Bar Noir that was near 18th and Chestnut - http://www.yelp.com/biz/bar-noir-philadelphia

Noir to replace Sticks & Stones

[tsarstruck]

That's great news. Although I'll take the over on the "four to five weeks" opening. That space--and the decor--needs a lot of work if it's going to pull off a concept bar.

I wonder where they will set up the performance space (if it will have live jazz). Inside is an odd space really and I can't think of a good place for it.

I'd be surprised if their liquor license allowed live, amplified entertainment...

Supper skeptical about this timeline as well. I am excited about the Jazz. But how are they going to play the movies? Will they just be on while people are eating? This seems distracting.

The Insider mentions the chef, not the owners.

NEXT was open today, all seemed well.

Apparently The Garage space across from Geno's is going to be a small food truck bar from the owner of Time and Vintage. Looks promising.

Interesting. I think this food truck concept will work very well in that particular location.

Mia has opened a new boutique with a different name next door. I think the focus is on more affordable clothing.

A Star Is Born finally has a new sign, it looks pretty good. One less dated sign on the Avenue, can't wait to see more get cleaned up.

I just moved 2 blocks from this place... looking forward to the opening.

Good jazz in a small space shouldn't need amplification. I hope this comes through!

1828 EPA (shoes gallery) is for lease for $1400. What will it be.....?

[luchobucho]

how bout a childrens store. someplace that sells onsies and toys and kids books.
There seems to be an explosin of a new generation of babies in the neigborhood and with all the old people "leaving", we are only poised to see more babies. Perhaps something that is a bit more cosmopolitan rather than provincial? If they were exclusive or (one of few) retailers of some nice lines of clothes, they could manage to be a destination as well as a local resource.

I think that concept would do alright. Anyone know of any other baby/child focussed stores in the core of the city? With the kids shoe store down further on EPA, you could have a nice little shopping trip for your lil uns.

They can have that damn pharmacy!

I was thinking something more local-y and unique.
