Honeygrow Will Pay Your Parking Tickets

Posted by Jason Sheehan on April 23rd, 2012

Okay, so this is just genius. You know how new businesses (new restaurants, especially) are always trying to find ways to connect with their customers and get them through the doors during those all-important first couple months of business? Yeah, well most of the time these enticements take the form of happy hours, charity meals, tasting dinners and the like. But Honeygrow–Justin Rosenberg’s fast-casual salad-and-stir-fry concept going into the space at 1601 Sansom Street–has come up with a completely different way to get you through the door for the first time. He’s going to pay your parking tickets.

No, for reals. He’s set aside a fund of just over $1,000 to pay the PPA fines of new or existing customers. How it works is, you do something dumb, get tagged for it by the Parking Authority, then bring the ticket in to Honeygrow on the same day it was issued, and Rosenberg will buy you lunch. Actually, he’ll give you a voucher (up to $36) to spend at Honeygrow, but really, that’s the same thing. Nice, right? And that’s not all he has in store.

Friday Food Porn: Honeygrow, Coming Soon To Center City

Posted by Jason Sheehan on March 30th, 2012

Honeygrow–the new fast-casual stir-fry-and-salad concept going into the former Pita Pit space at 1601 Sansom Street–is currently living behind plywood and scheduled for a mid-May opening. But one thing that is ready to go? The menu, which has been designed both by owner Justin Rosenberg and consultant/man-about-town Shola Olunloyo.

One of the basic building blocks of the Honeygrow experience is a touch-screen ordering system built for the iPad generation, with lovely pictures, swipe ability and a smart system that remembers each guest’s three previous orders and will grant them a free meal on the 10th swipe of a credit or debit card. All of this will allow customers to custom-design their own meals from the ground up. The only thing missing? Robots to put everything together–though it wouldn’t surprise me if Rosenberg was working on that, too.

In the meantime, some of those “lovely pictures” mentioned above have made their way into our hands. And they just seemed perfect for a nice round of Foobooz Friday Food Porn.

If You’re Opening a Restaurant, Open an Olive Garden

Posted by Foobooz on February 27th, 2012

If you’re smart and want to get into the restaurant business you should open an Olive Garden. But that’s not what is happening in Philadelphia. Instead, Matt Levin, Marcie Turney, Valerie Safran and Jason Cichonski are aiming to open good restaurants that are about more than just the bottom line.

Quick Bites: Center City West Edition

Posted by Foobooz on December 2nd, 2011

The Pita Pit has closed on 16th Street. Next up for the location is honeygrow. A stir fry, salads and gourmet shakes concept.

Still no chef for the new restaurant concept at the Art Alliance off of Rittenhouse Square. But it does have a name, Rittenhouse Tavern. [The Insider]

Victor Fellus (Mix and Pub & Grub) specializes in restaurants at the base of condominiums. Next up is Titra, which will be located at 15th and Locust in the Aria Building. Titra will be more upscale than his other spots. [The Insider]

Kokopelli has been closed by L&I. The club’s food-prep license has evidently expired. Such a shame, because the upstairs Kiva Lounge is evidently “THE place to get it in!” [The Insider]
