it's what you want to know
After 11 years as a daytime café, The Buttery is now whipping up dinner.
Same seasonal, scratch-made fare, largely sourced from local farms and producers.
Same order-at-the-counter service.
It’s BYOB for now but that could soon change.
Aronimink is prepping for the PGA Championship.
Merion is gearing up for the U.S. Amateur.
St. Davids is getting a major facelift.
Hopefuls languish on country-club waitlists.
Forget cabin fever. It’s golf fever – deep freeze, be damned – that’s raging ’round here this February.
In an age when fledgling photographers often launch with little more than Instagram account and a stool at Starbucks, David Campli is a unicorn.
“People don’t have photography businesses on Main Street USA anymore,” says Campli who just celebrated his 35th anniversary on King Street in Malvern.
Near the heart of horse country – ten minutes from Radnor Hunt and eight miles from Devon – sits the new Jockey Tavern: horsey, handsome and … HAPPENING.
Crowds have swarmed place – the former McKenzie Brew House on Rte. 30 – since it opened November 14.
And for good reason: The décor is smashing, the booze is bountiful, and the food is on the money and fairly priced. In racing parlance, a superfecta.
As many new mothers do, Emily Lucking jumped into post-pregnancy imbibing with gusto. Being able to drink again while out socializing with friends felt fun and celebratory. And, well, normal.
“I was used to being the life of the party,” says Lucking. “I missed being the ‘fun friend.’”
Then one night, the Villanova mom over-indulged just enough to feel out of control.
And the next day, after a not-so-great-feeling morning, she asked herself a painful question: Was being the popular party girl more important than being her best self for her three-month-old daughter?
Remember those ever-evolving plans for Devon Yard? How they once included a hotel, apartment building and parking garage near the old Waterloo site? And how, after a series of skirmishes, feisty neighbors thwarted all three.
Well, never say never.
The same developer – Eli Kahn, in partnership with Wade McDevitt – is back with new versions of each, all sited within spitting distance of Devon Yard and the Devon Horse Show.
The swankest dining destination this side of Center City – Eddie V’s Prime Seafood – just dropped anchor in front of the King of Prussia Mall.
Everything at Eddie’s oozes opulence: the white-coated waiters, the show-stopping chandelier, the caviar tastings, the oyster-and-champagne pairings, the walk-through glass wine cellar.
Not for nothin’ is “Living it up” the chain’s motto.
Devon Horse Show 2018 is history – but whoa, Nelly.
There’s a move afoot that could change the look of “downtown” Devon almost as much as URBN’s fast-rising Devon Yard.
The horse show’s chairman and CEO wants to put a three-level parking garage between Devon Yard (the new Terrain/Anthropologie complex) and the show grounds.
Because, let’s face it, parking can be a pain at Devon.
Callin’ all wine-lovin’ ladies and DIYers: the coolest spot this side of The Buttery just opened in Malvern.
AR Workshop is a custom art studio where you make wood signs, photo frames, canvas pillows, tote bags and more.
Sipping all the way.
(Giving “craft cocktails” a whole new meaning, right?)
Pop some corn: seems the western Main Line is going to the movies.
One of the nation’s largest movie chains is THISCLOSE to inking a deal with Uptown Worthington, the long-time-coming lifestyle center near the Malvern Wegmans.
The center’s owner, developer Brian O’Neill, tells SAVVY that a dine-in theater with full bar plans to take 43,000 sq. ft. and should open in a year or so. Two prior deals with movie chains cratered a few years back, but we’re told this one should be a wrap by early January.
O’Neill also tells us he’s nearing a deal with Main Line restaurateur Marty Grims. The White Dog Café/Autograph Brasserie/Moshulu owner wants to open a “super hip” spot at Worthington
