Where's the best sledding hill in Philly? (1 Answer)
Strongbox taking the summer off

Times are tough — but when a bottle bar slows but for a precious second, a piece of all of us dies. That’ll surely be the case now that Brett Perloff and Co.’s Strongbox is closing, save private parties, until Labor Day. “Due to a few factors including the annual exodus to the shore of our clientele, the current economic state and our venue becoming more popular for private events, we have decided to close for regular business through Labor Day,” read an e-mail statement. “We want to take advantage of the slowdown in order to complete renovations and tweaking of our product.”
Along with promising something fresher and swankier after the summer, Perloff — who was last spied hanging with Joe Piscopo at several of A.C.’s Chelsea Hotel bars — swears Strongbox will be ready to go at a moment’s notice for private parties.
