Kibitz in the City closes
![]() |
Thanks to the Meal Ticket tipster who spotted a sign reading the following in the window of Kibitz in the City (703 Chestnut St.):
Kibitz in the City is closed for business. Thank you to all of the loyal customers over the years. A new delicatessen concept will be opening shortly. We look forward to joining the neighborhood. Check back here periodically for more information and updates. Thank you.
KITC was opened in 2003 by Russ Cowan, who at the time owned Kibitz Room in Cherry Hill. He eventually sold both and took over Famous 4th Street, which now has a second location; Cowan's former manager Neil Parrish now owns both the original Kibitz Room and the newer one on Locust, which opened in April. (We know, we know.) Perhaps the relatively high profile of the newish Center City Kibitz necessitated a conceptual change, or at least a name tweak, for KITC's owners? We'll be sure to keep you posted as we learn more.
Maybe because it was a Jewish deli owned by Asians? (No offense.)
[...] Kibitz in the City has closed at 703 Chestnut Street. A sign on the door says to look for a new deli concept coming soon. [Meal Ticket] [...]
