Rumor: Strongbox to be Frenchified?

In came a heads up from a reliable Meal Ticket tipster this weekend that 2029 Walnut — the address that formerly housed the club Strongbox — has been tentatively earmarked for a double-headed Gallic concept. We're hearing it'll be a French patisserie and café by day, only to convert into a "full-fledged French restaurant" in the evening. We're also hearing the space, a BYO, will be run by a front-of-house vet who's currently employed at a well-heeled Philly restaurant that also happens to specialize in French cuisine. Très intéressant! Though we haven't been able to get anyone to talk yet, more details to come, hopefully.
