The space that housed Georges Perrier and Chris Scarduzio's Brasserie Perrier, whose last night in business was New Year's Eve, may have a new tenant lined up. According to MacNN.com:
Apple has decided on a location for its first Apple Store in Philadelphia, claims a MacNN source connected to the planning of the project. The company has allegedly signed a lease to take over the location of the former Brasserie Perrier restaurant, situated at 1619 Walnut Street. The surrounding portion of Walnut is said to be a high-end shopping and eating district, ideally suited to Apple's strict aesthetics.
The writeup adds that the architectural firm rumored to be helming the project is Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, which is responsible for some of the biggest Apple Stores in the world, including the locations in SoHo and Tokyo. MacNN takes this to mean that this Philly location could very well be a multi-story behemoth.
UPDATE [3:45 p.m.]: Left a message with the property's landlord; will report back as details become available.
