Peek inside posh new Life Time in Sub. Square; Tasting Ripplewood in Ardmore; The Switch; An opioid confession; Jane Winchester; Nifty Mom’s Day gifts & more

Polished to perfection, Life Time opens its “diamond” level club in Suburban Square this week.

All that’s missing?

Beds.

Not kidding. The “healthy way of life company” – now ensconced in the old Macy’s – wants to be your fitness center, your hair-and-nail salon, your restaurant, your spa, your babysitter – and now, your office.

Not just a “laptops-welcome-free-wifi” of office.

But a real one, totally tricked out.

The Goat’s Beard debuts in Wayne; Remembering Polka Dots’ Susan Randels & other news around town

June 9, 2016 by Caroline O'Halloran

The Main Line never really warmed up to Xilantro, its cold, neon vibe better suited to South Beach than Central Wayne.

But its North Wayne successor, the new Goat’s Beard, well, he’s a whole ’nother animal.

Warm. Fuzzy. Friendly.

Upscale but not uppity.

It helps, too, that the guys behind the Goat are local lads Sean Coyle and Mike “Mac” MacCrory, pals since their Malvern Prep days.

The food biz in his blood, Sean handles operations. (His parents had the TexMex mainstay Binni & Flynn’s; his sister, Meridith, owns Aneu Catering and Paoli’s Fresh Ideas Market.)

Mac’s the money guy – commercial real estate exec by day, goat-herder by night.

The two buddies think they’re onto something.
