In a One, Two Punch from a National Brand: Curb Philly Debuts too

Here Ye, Here Ye: Introducing Curbed Philadelphia

Wednesday, January 25, 2012, by Liz Spikol

0

Welcome to Curbed Philly, a site that takes our nickname—the City of Neighborhoods—to heart. If all goes as planned, Curbed Philly should serve as your hub for all things urban from architecture to street art, preservation to destruction, not to mention the shenanigans and neighborhood characters that power this absurd and very lovable town.

Curbed Philly is the newest site in the Curbed Network, and aims to satisfy those who obsess (healthfully) over neighborhood renamings; who debate catchment issues on online forums; who get excited by Francisville development or Rittenhouse rumors; who argue with friends about street art vs. murals; who'd like to have a LEED-certified mini-house along the Reading Viaduct one day; and who feel Ed Bacon, not Kevin, was the real celebrity. Native Philadelphian Liz Spikol takes the helm as Curbed Philly's editor.

Here's a quick user's guide: Tune in early every morning for a summary of the big news you slept through; then come back throughout the day (add us to your RSS, why not?) for features like CornerSpotter, That's Rather Hideous, Development Watch and Rent Don't Buy, plus neighborhood and real estate news as it happens. It's that simple. Got a web browser? You've got Curbed Philly.

Finally! Should you be so inclined, dear reader, do ping our tipline with tips, scoops, rumors, rants and suggestions: philly@curbed.com. We want to hear from you. Like now: Tell us the selling points for Club Ozz on Girard Avenue or explain why the one-percenters aren't snapping up a Society Hill mansion with major Kennedy connections.

(And! Also launching today, under the editorship of the redoubtable Collin Flatt is Eater Philly, for all your restaurant and nightlife news and goings-on.)

COLLIN FLATT IS Eater Philly, & Q&A With The Mysterious Lêe at Hop Sing Laundromat

I just got this email:

Eater Philly Has Arrived!

We're thrilled to launch here in Philly, where the most talented crop of young chefs in the country make their home. It's a bold statement, and absolutely true. But, Philly's food scene isn't just about the cooks and industry folks. We also boast the most dedicated, borderline-obsessed food fanatics that game restaurant openings like Hollywood movie premieres, and celebrate local Beard Award wins like World Series Championships. We're excited to be a part of it.

At Eater Philly, you won't find original restaurant reviews, recipes, or too much food porn; but we have you covered with unique reporting, curated round-ups of what the food people around town—and the nation—are talking about, and commentary on the absurdity of it all. Because there's plenty of that.

A little about me, your Eater Philly editor, Collin Flatt: I used to be the editor of The Feast, the now-defunct food site that was gobbled up by the ever-present Daily Candy. I can still be found teaching wine and beer classes at The Wine and Beer School of Philadelphia, and consulting on craft beer lists for various bars and restaurants around town.

While Eater Philly is your source for anything and everything worth hearing about in the Philly foodscape, we can't do it without our readers—whether you are an avid eater-outer or a pro with commentary on the industry or your very own workplace. No opening, closing, back-of-the-house mishap, crazy signage, menu typo, health code violation, celebrity sighting, shady behavior, or weirdness is off-limits. Actually, we like weird, and we love absurd.

To kick things off, Eater sat down with Lêe, the enigmatic proprietor of the upcoming cocktail bar Hop Sing Laundromat, Philly's most highly-anticipated opening, well, ever. See what he has to say about his big launch.
