Kennett opening this Saturday

Kennett, at 848 S. Second Street, is fixing on a Sat., Dec. 4 opening. The neighborhood operation, replacing Lyons Den at the intersection of Second, Christian and Moyamensing (we first mentioned it here) is being run by industry vets Johnny Della Polla and Ashley Bohan, with food from chef Brian Ricci (here's his menu). We're also pleased to learn that cocktail-y couple Christian Gaal (Noble) and Phoebe Esmon (Catahoula) have consulted on Kennett's drink list, and Gaal will be putting in a once-weekly shift behind their bar. The photo above, from Kennett's website, is an original shot of Kennett Café, the restaurant that operated in Kennett's space from 1924 to 1986.
