      I am not so sure about Vesuvio. I walked past there this morning and there are a ton of signs in the windows saying, “Closed for renovations.” I know they have been trying to get zoning approved for a roof deck.

      Your link for Vesuvio is broken and I’m not sure that the information is correct either. Last I heard, they were going for some sort of club license.

      just sent a friend a message about Vesuvio’s and she said they are closed for a month to turn the upstairs into two apartments.

      Don’t hold your breath on Vesuvio. Last time I went there it was a disaster. The stench of death was all around–minimal staff, kitchen out of everything, etc.

      A Victory Brewpub in Philly would be nice!

      Vesuvio’s always been awful, I’ve never been sure how they stayed open.
