Early word on creperie coming to West Philly
Cafe Rue 52 hopes to open in late July, and has a partner who knows his crepes.
Early word on creperie coming to West Philly
"It's like where an urban skateboard kid in France would want to hang out." That's how Mahari Bailey describes his concept for Cafe Rue 52, the creperie and espresso bar he's opening at 503 S. 52nd St. There will be various kinds of Frenchified coffee and espresso drinks, and crepes of both the sweet and savory kinds. "We created a nice, modern, urban interior," says Bailey, a lawyer who's never been in the restaurant business before. But for Rue 52 he enlisted the perfect partner: Jean-Luc Fanny of Cafe L'Aube (1631 Wallace St.). Cafe Rue 52's opening date is in the fickle hands of the city's health department, but keep an eye on its website. Right now it's just a shell of a website, but info surely will be coming.
