Philly's Expecting R2L and Mid-Atlantic This Fall

$Behind the Burner: Philly\'s Expecting R2L and Mid-Atlantic This Fall$

Two new flavorsome landmarks will be born in the city of Brotherly Love this fall by acclaimed Chef Daniel Stern and business partner Suzette Mahoney: Mid-Atlantic and R2L. The restaurants will join Stern's acclaimed Gayle, a new American restaurant located in Queen Village.

As the leaves change from greens to browns and reds, Mid-Atlantic at the Science Center will open its doors at 3711 Market Street, reflecting the traditional food and beverages of the region. Inside will lie a modern taproom awaiting guests eager to take a taste back into the 1700's, able to now try the region's Pennsylvania Dutch cooking and the produce market stalls that ran from the top of Market Street to the banks of the Delaware river centuries ago. The restaurant will also feature live music Thursday-Sunday evenings.

Across town, R2L will be rooted 500 feet above the city on the 37th floor of Two Liberty Place overlooking a 360-degree wall to wall view spanning over 40 miles—a modern tribute to classic cocktail cuisine infused with American soul.

For his innovative additions to the culinary world and restaurant scene, Stern has received much acclaim by all diners. Already being talked about a few months in advance, Philadelphia is in store for two new endeavors full of flavored surprises.
