JL Sullivan's Mentioned in City Paper!
This and That
Attempting to make inroads into the arts and culture community, Metro Philadelphia president and publisher Eric Mayberry is devoting a new section in the paper every Thursday to coverage of the local arts community.
Mayberry says he was approached by many artists and cultural leaders to spend more ink on the arts.
"We will feature an artist and promote arts events," says Mayberry. He added that various budget cuts in other local news venues have impacted coverage.
Speaking of the local arts scene, Gary Steuer, the city's representative for the Office of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy, will speak at private launch party at JL Sullivan's Speakeasy on Broad Street Thursday night along with Karen Davis of the Arts and Business Council of Greater Philadelphia and Peggy Amsterdam, head of the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance.

TWO BECOMES ONE
You like a nice lounge. He prefers a sports bar.
It’s about time someone came up with a compromise: J.L. Sullivan’s Speakeasy opens today and it’s a marriage of the two.
The 80-foot bar serves up jazz-era cocktails (Manhattans, sidecars, martinis) and a stellar wine list for the dolls; there’s a wide selection of beers (microbrews, imports, American standards) and top-shelf liquor for the gents. (Oh, and a plethora of flat-screens for watching games.)
The new American menu also caters to both kinds. He can feast on Kobe beef Sloppy Joe sliders, a cheesesteak BLT, or crispy duck nachos. She’ll most likely opt for the caprese flatbread, tuna tartar, or lobster quesadilla.
You’ll both be happy in the dining room’s booths.
Proving that this is, in fact, a reconcilable difference.
