Sneak peek at Tommy Up's P.Y.T.

Meal Ticket's definitely amped for the opening of P.Y.T., PaperStreet founder Tommy Up's spot in the still-got-that-new-car-urban-enclave-smell Piazza at Schmidts. Here's the scoop on the place (probably about a month out) from my recent Piazza restaurant rundown:

Inspired, to an extent, by L.A. spots like 25 Degrees and the Apple Pan, P.Y.T. is promoter Up�s shot at bringing a non-chain destination burger joint � and alcohol-infused milkshakes (!) � to Philly. Josh McCullough, chef at Time, is putting together P.Y.T.�s sandwich menu, which�ll feature affordable burgers ($6-$7) and grilled cheeses �with twists� (plenty of veg options, says Up). Other eats will include hand-cut fries and lobster tempura fish sticks. Behind the main bar, Up is planning on mounting a vintage-era photo of his pops rocking a fu manchu standing next to a VW Beetle painted like the American flag. The front of the space will be the eatery � in the back, expect a unisex bathroom space and a �speakeasy-style� bar that�ll be pouring bespoke cocktails designed by a guy from NYC�s Milk and Honey.

After the jump, peep two preliminary renderings of the interior, being designed by DIE Creative � the West Coast-inspired front room/patio, and the hidden bar/lounge area in the back. (Click to enlarge.)
