P.Y.T. in pictures

P.Y.T., in the Piazza at Schmidts (Second and Germantown), opened for drinks last night, and Meal Ticket was in the joint, along with our dudes Ben and Jeff from Unbreaded (Set 2, Pic 3). The burger and shake joint, masterminded by Paper Street's Tommy Up, features a bright front room with a long bar, amended by plenty of outdoor seating. A second bar, accessible through the communal bathroom area (Set 2, Pic 5), is the highlight of a not-quite-complete back room.

They're just doing booze for now (lots of PBC on tap), but they'll start serving food next week. Menu's designed by chef Josh McCullough of Time. Check it after the jump.

The interior reminds me of Darling's. Guess it's the new Piazza aesthetic.

Good call, as all four of the Piazza restaurants were designed by DIE Creative.

First Stephen Starr's place, now this one - is it really that difficult to put a fresh ground turkey burger on the menu?  Marathon Grill might be the only place in town with one...
