Center City MilkBoy planned for 11th and Chestnut
 |
Jamie Lokoff of MilkBoy Recordings just touched base with Meal Ticket to share some details on a planned Center City branch of his MilkBoy coffeehouse/live music venue, which has locations in Ardmore and Bryn Mawr. (He'll present to the Washington Square West Civic Association this evening.)
Lokoff says he was approached by development firm U3, which is looking to revitalize the stretch of Center City they refer to as "the hole in the doughnut" � historically, there hasn't been a whole lot going on around this stretch, but that's changing rapidly. "We toyed with the idea of Northern Liberties, and up on Broad Street," says Lokoff, "but ultimately we liked this because it's right in the middle." Situated on the southwest corner of 11th and Chestnut in a currently vacant property, MilkBoy Center City will feature two floors � coffeehouse/dining seat on the ground, with a 100-or-so-head space for performances upstairs. there will be full bars on both floors. An larger kitchen with a hood will means they'll be able to expand their food offerings quite a bit.
As this project is still in the very early stages, Lokoff will commit only to "spring" for a projected debut, though he says he'd love to open before local colleges let out for the summer.
