Philadelphians know their food, and I’m not just talking cheesesteaks, pork Italians and pretzels. While these Philly staples are what help define our city’s flavor culturally, there is actually a food mecca growing under our feet. Restaurant moguls like Stephen Starr and Georges Perrier have built their dining-dynasties here, and events like Center City Restaurant Week and SIPS have helped make high-class cuisine and cock-tails more accessible to the entire metropolitan area. But weeks dedicated to food and booze buzz

by Max Pulciniaren’t limited to the restau-rants cast under City Hall’s shadow anymore—from August 1 through August 10, SugarHouse Casino is organizing a restaurant week of its own, highlight-ing the neighborhoods of Fishtown, Northern Liberties and Penn’s Land-ing. Dubbed, “Night Out Restaurant Week,” the event features 14 nearby restaurants that will open their doors and offer three course lunch and/or din-ner options at fixed prices. “What’s best for the community is what’s best for SugarHouse,” Wendy Hamilton, general Manger of SugarHouse, said. “We decided to help the city re-alize what’s going on with

our restaurants in these im-mediate zip codes. There are so many great places to eat, rest and drink in Fishtown, Northern Liber-ties and Penn’s Landing, some of which are lesser known.” Lunches will cost either $10 or $20, while dinners will cost either $25 or $35. All restaurants will offer a dinner option, while select restaurants will offer lunch. The restaurants who are taking part in the event are: Lloyd ($25 dinner), Darling’s Diner ($20 lunch; $35 dinner), Bar Ferdinand ($35 dinner), Chart House ($35 dinner), Circles Con-temporary Thai Cuisine ($25 dinner), El Camino Real ($10 lunch; $25 dinner),

Il Cantuccio ($35 dinner), Jerry’s Bar ($35 dinner), Ke-ating’s River Grill ($20 lunch; $35 dinner), Moshulu ($20 lunch; $35 dinner), Pickled Heron ($35 dinner), The Re-finery ($20 lunch; $35 din-ner), Ristorante La Veranda ($20 lunch; $35 dinner), and Taste ($35 dinner). “We were contacted by the SugarHouse and it seemed like a no brainer,” Scott Coudriet, manger of Lloyd, said. “They want to do a restaurant week that we all kind of miss out on by not being in Center City. So we have these neighborhoods of Penn’s Landing, Northern Liber-ties and us in Fishtown given the opportunity to come together and show

the rest of the city what we’re made of ‘cause we are booming now. It’s an awesome opportunity.” Lloyd (529 E. Girard Ave.) is a whiskey bar and one of East Girard’s newer additions. Film aficionados may note the subtle refer-ence to Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 thriller, The Shining— the bartender (and all-time creep) of the film’s hotel setting is named Lloyd, and some of the bar’s signature cocktails carry movie refer-ences like The Overlook and the Jack and Wendy. Lloyd is also named after the bar’s owner, Lloyd, who is Coudriet’s father and a former teacher at Penn

Now Through Sunday, August 10 - Lunch and Dinner

The Refinery, SugarHouse’s in-house restaurant, is also participating in Night Out Restaurant Week with a $20 lunch and $35 dinner option. In addition to the food, casino goers can enjoy live music and $10 of free play on the casino floor when they bring a receipt from their dinner experi-ence.

Joe Gatas and Jeff Brehm believe that the food they put out at Darling’s Diner is among some of the best in the city. The restaurant is offering both a $25 lunch and a $35 dinner option throughout Night Out Restaurant Week.

Two years ago I sat with Broadway diva, Ann Crumb, in her parents’ home in Media, Penn-sylvania. This wasn’t just any home. Beside me was Ann’s father, George Crumb, the famous com-poser of modern mu-sic, and the winner of two CHECK Grammy Awards. On the other side of the room was George’s wife, Liz, who had just finished carry-ing a basket of laundry up from the basement. In front of me were three, no four, large dogs who playfully ran circles around one another. There was no pretension in this house of celebrity. Ann, dressed in a pair of jeans with her long hair arranged like the young Katherine Hepburn’s, was completely relaxed. “Now, now,” she says to one of the dogs, “Stop it. No! I said No!” A huge dog sniffed my trouser leg. “Nice dog,” I said, glancing down at my notes which spell out in Western Union code: A

Crumb, Broadway debut, 1987, Broadway com-panies of Chess, Aspects of Love, Les Miserables and Anna Karenina (Best Actress Tony nomina-tion). Toured in the title role in Evita; roles in ‘As the World Turns,’ ‘The Guiding Light,’ ‘Another World,’ and ‘Law and Order.’ Then there are her re-cordings, “A Broadway Diva Sings” with the Har-ry Allen orchestra, and her numerous collabora-tions and recordings with her father, such as her role as lead soprano when she appeared with Dad at the Kimmel Center in the fall of 2009 on the occasion of his 80th birthday. G iven the George Crumb legacy, I asked Ann if it was easy for her to break into show busi-ness. “I never mentioned my father because, you know, you didn’t want to say, ‘I’m somebody’s daugh-ter,’ she told me. “But peo-ple in the theater world didn’t know Dad’s work, but now they do. Now that I’ve established my own

career, I tell everybody.” That career, by the way, includes a singing voice that The New York Times once described as one that “can harden in a moment from molten to hard steel.” In Andrew Lloyd We-ber’s ‘Aspects of Love,’ Crumb sang the part of sexy French actress Rose Vibert, whose romantic entanglements cover a 17-year period. Up to that point, Crumb hadn’t sung jazz but that changed when she met producer Robert W. Schachner, who got her to record “A Broadway Diva Sings” in the Florida Keys. Today, Crumb is easily one of the best female jazz vocalists in the business, no small

accomplishment from one who came relatively late to the world of singing. “Growing up, I heard all those great singers, but it was different sounds. I didn’t sing, I was really a ‘straight’ actress. Then when I finally heard the CD of ‘Evita’—the show was just closing on Broad-way—I wanted to play her dramatically, so I said I’ve got to study singing so I can play her.” Study, she did. She ar-ranged to be mentored by internationally acclaimed American voice teacher Bill Shuman, but says it was a while before she got into the swing of sing-ing. “I was too shy about it. I still have a terrible problem with shyness. I

still think of myself as an actress, not a singer.” I reminded her that she didn’t seem all that shy when I saw her perform her father’s work at the Kimmel. “That’s because I’m an actress,” she explained, laughing, correcting one of the dogs again. Crumb’s recent perfor-mance as Maria Callas in Terrance McNally’s ‘Master Class’ at the Me-dia Theater some time ago caused Howard Sha-piro of ‘The Philadelphia Inquirer’ to write, “You can call Ann Crumb, sim-ply, Divine. She must be channeling La Divina, who died in 1977. Ann Crumb’s Maria Callas is direct, demonstrative, devastating.” Ann Crumb, in fact, is a little like a “democratic grassroots” version of Callas. She’s played in big theaters before huge audiences, and she’s done hometown-style perfor-mances where recognized Divas don’t normally tread. At the time of this inter-view, Crumb was memo-rizing Callas’ lines for ‘Master Class,’ and re-counted, with some hilar-ity, how she once forgot the words “I’ll Cry for You Argentina,” when she starred in ‘Evita.’ She ad-mitted to forgetting lines when she sings. “With singing, even if it’s something I’ve done for a year, all of a sudden I’ll go, ‘Oh, I forget the words to it.’ It’s a horrible feeling when you go com-pletely blank because the music keeps going. It’s not like a play where you can kinda say, ‘I’ll take a walk around the block,’—no, you have to ride, you have to make up lyrics that ride if you can,” she says, talk-ing quickly like a fire that keeps building. The night she forgot the lines to ‘Don’t Cry for me Argentina,’ she says she was standing there on the balcony with the whole cast looking at her. The fa-tal mistake occurred when she substituted the word ‘hard’ for ‘strange’ during the song’s opening line, “It won’t be easy, you’ll think it rather strange.” The second she uttered the word ‘hard’ she says she forgot the rest of the song. “I then made all the lines after that up as the cast below is looking up at me not believing that I’d forgotten all the words.” These days Crumb di-vides her time between Media and New York City. “She likes it in Me-dia best,” Liz joked, the family’s West Virginia

accent still very much in evidence, “but it’s only be-cause of the free meals.” A little later in the af-ternoon, when a family friend popped in to say hello (and to make every-one present a large Caesar salad), Crumb chatted about subletting her beau-tiful New York apart-ment—a former church with Gothic arches and glass stained windows—and her memories of liv-ing in Boulder, Colorado with her parents, a place the Crumb family insists is one of the best small towns in America. Having lived in Boulder myself, getting the Diva to open up about her life there was easy. She told me where to find wild horses in the foot-hills of Boulder’s Rocky Mountains, as well as her impressions of the infa-mous JonBenet Ramsey house: “It’s a beautiful mini-mansion, real ly quite spectacular with big fences and gardens, but it keeps getting sold. It’s like the people get in there and something chases them out.” In between singing and acting gigs, Crumb loves hanging out with her dogs. In Media, she gets to romp with them in the Crumbs’ spacious backyard. “I’ve always had a special love for dogs. I think I was a daschund in a past life, I certainly have the nose for one,” she laughed, explaining how she once arranged a 53 dog lift from 10 Kill shelters in Kentucky, Illinois and Indiana. This particular mission, she says, was conducted during an ice storm, and involved trans-port trucks with one truck going into a ditch and an unheated van filled with puppies. As coordinator of this vast enterprise, she had to arrange for the transfer of dogs and puppies into other vans and trucks in a Chicago parking lot, and then supervise the release of 40 excited dogs, after the long journey east, into her parents’ house. The ever resilient Crumb hap-pened to have a concert the same night that the first transport of puppies arrived in Media. “While they were run-ning around the house, I literally ran in the bath-room, threw on some makeup, threw on a gown and walked out, sang at the concert, left, and came back. And when I got back the truck had ar-rived with all the big dogs.

They were flying around the yard; it was pouring buckets of rain. But it re-ally worked out well. They all have homes now.” Nine of the dogs were placed in Pennsylvania, and the rest found homes in New Hampshire. “I always say I’m never going to work again,” she told me, flipping her hair back so that I can see her face is anything but dasc-hund-like. “It’s a huge and expensive job just to get a job with auditions and training.” She’s obviously talking about finding work after Master Class. “There’s an old saying in the theater that there are these cycles. There’s one cycle where you are desperate to get a job, then you hear that you got the job, so you have a few exciting days where you say, ‘I got the job!’ but then either the job fails, the show bombs or you’re killed in the press. Then you’re really upset and have to stick it out till the show’s over. If not that, you get bored and say, ‘Boy, I wish I had a different job.’ The next thing you know you’re out of work and you’re saying, ‘I’ve got to find a job!’” The saving grace in all of this, she said, are those first few days of jubilation after being hired. “That feeling is unbelievable!”•

Save St. Laurentius Church

We hope that everyone is enjoying their summer! We would like you to know that we are still working and securing donors to help us to repair and reopen our beautiful historic church! There are many people not only in our city but in this country who have been moved by the story of Saint Laurentius Church and the fight to save this important piece of history. We can tell you that every day people from around the region/country contact us. The beauty and history of this church is important not just to the Fishtown community but to many many people who see the destruction of this magnificent church as tragic. Two of those people are World-famous Polish opera singer Dominika Zamara and Stanley Alexandrowicz (Classical Guitar) who will perform at the Polish Home, 9150 Academy Road on Friday, August 8 with all proceeds benefitting Save St. Laurentius. Tickets to the event are only $15 and are available at the door. Concert will begin at 8PM. As Winston Churchill said “Never, never, never, never give up”.

Garrison’s Grocery has chosen the name Liberty for the name of our loyalty card because it is the first word in American consciousness. It was first made to mean something here in America. Liberty achieved independence and it made a nation. It was the word with which the American colonies electrified the world. It had been a dream despaired of elsewhere. Here it was realized. The soldiers of Rochambeau and the sailors of De Grasse and the soldiers of Burgoyne and Cornwallis went back to Europe to tell that Liberty was a fact in a new land and people everywhere have been freer since that day. This nation owes its existence to the desire for Liberty and it will maintain itself by that desire. So we chose Liberty for the name of the new loyalty card, Liberty because it is the last thing the true American possesses even if he is stripped of everything else.

Liberty is the innate, inherent principle of American life.

Although many of our local theatri-cal groups are still working at a sleepy summer’s pace, we’ve found these productions to be worth our readers’ attention.

1 8 1 2 P RO D U C -TIONS, The Arcadia Stage at Arden The-atre Company, 40 N. 2nd Street. 1812’s sea-son opens with Alan Ayckbourn’s comedy of chance, INTIMATE EXCHANGES. Two of Philadelphia’s fin-est actors, Anthony Lawton and Jennifer Childs will play a total of 7 characters. The direction of the story is left to the audience! It always begins on a quiet English estate. One character is faced with a choice. His deci-sion determines which scene will then be per-formed. These choices arise throughout the play, giving rise to 8 possible plays with 8 possible endings. This is the first time in the play’s history that a combination of scenes has not been prepared in advance of each performance- mean-ing, every night may be different than the preceding one. Mary Carpenter, a director,

ACT II PREVIEWS for August 2014

teacher and writer of numerous outstanding productions, uses her finely honed talents to direct this interest-ing production. August 28 to September 21: 215.592.9560.

ACT 11, 56 E. Butler Avenue, Ambler, Pa. Sonny Leo is the star, writer, and the heart of this new production MORE BROADWAY ON BUTLER. In case you don’t recognize the name, Sonny has acted on local stages and in several Act 11 hits. He is

also a renowned chore-ographer and music di-rector. His new show is a little bit of everything musical- a little Chorus Line, Annie Get Your Gun, Kiss Me Kate, Gypsy and quite a few more. The tunes and dances of your favor-ite Broadway musical promises an evening of old fashioned showbiz entertainment. August 7 to 17: 215.654.0200.

BROADWAY PHIL-ADELPHIA PRES-ENTS THE BOOK OF MORMON AT

T H E F O R R E S T THEATRE,1114 Wal-nut Street By now ev-eryone knows that THE BOOK OF MOR-MON won almost ev-ery prize Broadway can offer. What some people may not know is that the language is blasphemous and foul mouthed. Nevertheless, its heart is pure, its mu-

sic is great and its com-edy (if you can handle the language) is hilari-ous. We hope that most of our readers go and decide for themselves whether the music and the comedy outweigh the raw language. We went and loved every minute! Here’s what to expect from the story line. Two naïve but gutsy

young Mormon mis-sionaries are transported from Salt Lake City (that Mormon heaven!) to present day Uganda (a little bit of hell on earth!). What Uganda does to them and what they do to Uganda sets the back-ground for this very mod-ern and accomplished musical. To September 14: 800.447.7400.•

In 1924, Governor Gif-ford Pinchot sentenced Pep to life in prison for the murder of his wife’s favorite cat. His inmate number was C-2559, and he even had his very own mugshot! This story has a hint of folklore to it, but Pep really did spend time at Eastern State. He was here to improve inmate morale and essentially became the prison pet.

Treaty School. Now when I think of a whiskey bar, I tend to think of a dark place to get a stiff drink that’ll be my nightcap following a long day. Lloyd is out to prove that they are more than just that. But in a neighborhood that’s quickly becoming a home to creative-forward artists, young professionals and some of the finest beer-forward gastropubs the city has to offer, Lloyd had to do something creative to make a name for itself. “We weren’t sure if the neighborhood would be receptive to a whiskey bar,” Coudriet said. “There’s been a gastropub and beer focus thus far in the neigh-borhood so we were test-ing the waters here with a whiskey focus and we’ve been really happy so far. People are drinking the cocktails, we are pouring a lot of whiskey, and we’ve recently started pumping out some food that the neighborhood hasn’t seen quite yet.” For the Night Out Restau-rant Week, Lloyd is offering a $25 dinner that includes a choice of heirloom tomato and watermelon gazpacho with cherry tomatoes and pickled watermelon rind OR barbecue chicken, corn and ramp finger-ling potato skins. Second course options are a grilled marinated flank steak with grilled asparagus and ap-

erol butter OR mushroom and goat cheese ravioli with fava beans and fen-nel nage. Finally, dessert options are bread pudding strawberry shortcake with vanilla whipped cream OR chocolate panna cotta with caramel corn and rhubarb puree. You can also expect the find special cocktail pairings for each course to complete each meal in the way that a gastropub pairs beers with food. “We’ve always considered ourselves a bar with a qual-ity kitchen rather then a kitchen with a quality bar,” Coudriet said. “Our focus is definitely on the booze but we’ve now hired a chef who is incredibly good at presenting booze-friendly food. It’s almost like how gastropubs serve food that is beer friendly, but we have an entire kitchen of food that’s cocktail and whiskey friendly.” Much like how Lloyd has shown that it is more than just a whiskey bar, Dar-ling’s Diner (1033 N. 2nd St.) has demonstrated that they are more than a place for cheesecake, omelets and that brick of scrapple you crave at 3AM after a night of partying down 2nd Street. “We are more than a diner,” Joe Gatas, Director of Operation at Darling’s, said. “We have a huge, full-service menu. We are nostalgic in a way and try to take you back to the fif-ties with our look.” Darlings started out with a recipe—John and Harry

Arnold had figured out a formula for cheesecake that produced something far less heavy and thick than the New York Style most of us are accustomed to. Using Philadelphia Cream Cheese in it, the Arnolds made a pastry that was so light you could eat it with a meal instead of as a meal. This “darling of a cheesecake” launched the original Darlings Café on 2100 Spring Street and then the larger Darling’s Diner in Northern Liber-ties. Today Darling’s feeds the people of Philadelphia 24/7, making everything from burgers and sirloin steaks, to grits and wraps. Along with the comfort food favorites, Darling’s also has a full-service bar featuring craft beers and wine. “I think we are right there with the culinary experts,”

Gatas said. “We have a chef here and all of our food is 100 percent home-made, everything is fresh.” “It’s all about how it looks,” Jake Brehm, Dar-ling’s chef, said. “Presenta-tion is everything; people eat with their eyes first then eat secondly with their mouths. If it looks like crap it’ll mostly taste like crap. But if it looks good then everybody has it in their head that it’s going to taste good. Nine times out of ten it does.” For Night Out Restaurant Week, Darling’s is offering both lunch and dinner op-tions: The $20 lunch fea-tures a first course option of: 5 wings in your choice of sauce; Caesar or house salad; fried green beans; OR a cup of soup. Second course options include: shrimp and grits; barbe-cue beef; buffalo chicken

wrap; a quarter pound burger; OR Darling’s veg-gie mozzarella sandwich. Third course option is your choice of cheesecake. The $35 dinner option features a first course choice of: jumbo crab cake; hummus; Buffalo chicken sliders; OR super green kale salad. Second course options feature: the Fishwich sand-wich; the Polksa (Kielbasa and pierogies); barbecue steak and chicken; OR braised short ribs. Third course options are: your choice or cheesecake; the Brownie Explosion; OR a banana split. Gatas is excited to be part of this new restaurant week and is optimistic that it can compete toe-to-toe with its more established brother downtown. “This is the first year [of Night Out Restau-rant Week] so people need to get used to it,” Gatas said. “But knowing this area, people love their food here— I think that we can compete with [Center City Restaurant Week], give us a year and I think we will be outperforming that— I really believe that.” In addition to Lloyd, Darling’s and the other local eateries participat-ing in Night Out Restau-rant Week, SugarHouse’s in-house restaurant, The Refinery, is offering a $20 lunch and $35 dinner spe-cial, along with live music and $10 of free play on the casino floor to par-ticipating restaurant-goers throughout the event.

bring your receipt in to the casino to redeem your play. SugarHouse is also look-ing forward to unveiling details on new restaurants opening up as part of the casino’s new $164 million expansion project. “We know who we are going to partner with, the lawyers are busy at work putting the details together so as soon as the last deal is signed, we’ll come out with an announcement of the names and venues that are going to be added—it’s all good stuff that will be welcomed by our clientele. For a long time, food was something that casinos relied on—gaming is a lei-sure activity so what makes more sense as a gaming amenity than being able to sit with your friends and have a nice meal.” Ultimately, Night Out Restaurant Week doesn’t have to be better than its Center City counterpart. Like the neighborhoods the event encompasses, this new restaurant should strive to be unique—not necessarily standing above the rest but apart from it. “There is a massive vari-ety of bars and restaurants out there and something for everyone,” Hamilton said. “It’s different than Center City—these restau-rants all lend to a different and unique flavor special to this neighborhood. I think the more people that come in and try these venues, the more they will keep com-ing here because it’s a cool place.”•

This past weekend residents at Penn Home kicked off a brand new pro-gram. “The William Penn Theatre”, the brain child of life-long Fishtown and present Penn Home resident, Joe Walk-er. The residents performed a series of one-act plays by Philadelphia author and playwright Gil Sokolow who also attended Sunday’s show. They hope Sunday’s perfor-mance will peak the interest of other res-idents and seniors from the surround-ing community. If you would like to learn more about this prog ram or Penn Home, please contact Kate Corri-gan at 215-739-2522 or visit us on the web at www.pennhome.org.
