A big step for Chloe

Mary Ann Ferrie and Dan Grimes' long-running Chloe (232 Arch St.), which just celebrated 10 years in business this past fall, does not waver on much: They're cash-only, they only serve four nights a week and they do not — DO NOT! — take reservations. That's why it's quietly monumental that the Old City BYOB has decided to begin accepting credit cards, starting on July 6. "However, cash is still king!" Ferrie intones.
The couple is also participating in a bit of friendly customer-sharing for the rest of the summer. Michael O'Halloran's Bistro 7 (7 N. Third St.) will be closing for vacation all this month, and the chef/owner has posted a sign directing diners to the nearby Chloe. When Ferrie and Grimes close up shop to take a break in the month of August, they'll post a sign sending eaters O'Halloran's way. "Isn't it nice how we do that for each other?" says Ferrie. "However, come September, the gloves are off. Just kidding."
