New concept in the works at Philadelphia Art Alliance

The Restaurant Associates group will shut down its Gardenia in the Philadelphia Art Alliance (251 S. 18th St.) after brunch this Sunday to make way for a new concept set for an autumn launch. The still-unnamed space will be overseen by RA's culinary programming director Ed Brown, who took the corporate gig after plenty of success in New York, including a Michelin star nod at his now-closed Eighty One. The day-to-day of the restaurant, which will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, will be handled on the ground by a still-not-identified Philly chef. Local restaurant designer Elizabeth Knapp, responsible for spaces like Zahav, Percy Street Barbecue and Xochitl, has been tapped to modernize the Gardenia space to bolster the relaunch.

    Wonderful news, a space this beautiful deserves an equally fantastic food operation.
