So yeah, this whole thing is kind of a big, pandemic brunch-time shuffle. And if that address sounds familiar to you, that’s because it’s the former home of Honey’s Sit ‘N Eat - another legendary Philly brunch spot that went dark during the pandemic, though it is still up and running in another location in NoLibs. “We’re not saying goodbye to South Philadelphia, we’re saying see you soon in a larger space close by.”Īnd while yes, a LOT of restaurateurs say this kind of thing when they’re shutting down, turns out the Sabrina’s crew meant it because there’s now a liquor license pending for a new South Philly Sabrina’s going into the space at 2101 South Street. Owner Robert De Abreu told the Passyunk Post that this wasn’t really the end. That closure, though, came with a potential silver lining. Sabrina’s had been operating on Christian Street for something like 20 years, spawned four additional locations, and been instrumental in the brunch-ification of Philly’s restaurant scene. For that, we’ll start our first Monday Round-Up of 2022 down in South Philly with some glad tidings from the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board …įorever ago (okay, back in May), we got the bad news that the original Sabrina’s Café location in the Italian Market was shutting down. We’ve got some new vax rules in place starting today, a blindfolded dinner, jerky news, a David Bowie tribute and a new chef at one of the oldest kitchens in the city.īut let’s kick things off with some good news - and the conclusion to a story that’s been months in the making. With the ongoing impacts of the pandemic, the spike in Omicron infections, all the losses already suffered and the uncertainty over what comes next, every day feels like a held breath.Īnd yet, the days go on. While, traditionally, these few weeks between New Year’s Eve and Valentine’s Day have been a quiet time of rebuilding and calm in the restaurant calendar, now that quiet feels a little haunted. All the parties and celebrations, the last-minute pop-ups and morning-after brunches, are done.
