"Best tiny romatic restaurant" -Philadelphia Magazine “It’s a Rittenhouse Square classic. With its romantic dining room and cool upstairs tank bar, it’s one of the most vibrant spots with a finely rendered menu. Great wine list and only a $10 markup on each bottle.” –Craig LaBan, Philadelphia Inquirer "…at FSS the focus is on intimate conversation and splendid food." -Robin Rinaldi, Philadelphia weekly "luscious cream of mushroom soup… a superb roast duck, and some of the best poached fish in town" -Jim Quinn, Philadelphia Inquirer "Cozy restaurant continues to shine" Elaine Tait, Philadelphia Inquirer The Friday Saturday Sunday Story - It was the most improbable of beginnings. In a business known for it's high failure rate, Friday Saturday Sunday Restaurant was launched on a dare: Jay Gubin dared Weaver Lilley and Arnie Roberts to open a restaurant with him by each putting $2000.00 into a hat. Jay Gubin, a brilliant concept person, was the perennial entrepreneur. Arnie Roberts, a "natural" marketing whiz, was also one of the best ad designers in the city. Weaver Lilley, a photographer with a keen eye, was shooting some of the most exciting ads in town. What did they know about restaurants? Not a great deal, but they were able to open a restaurant that has one of the longest and most successful track records in Philadelphia. Of course, $6000 was not enough. It would require the additional help of four more partners (making the total investment a very modest $14000). One of those partners was the first Chef, Tommy Hunter. He eventually left FSS with Jay to start the Restaurant School. Jeanine Autret was a journalist and contributor to the Philadelphia Bulletin. Bud Bretschneider, a carpenter, was responsible for the construction of the restaurant. Annie Perrier, was the wife of George Perrier, chef and owner of Le Bec Fin. Although she had not worked in a restaurant, she brought along a great deal of George's help and her own terrific sense of humor. Back in those days, a sense of humor was an important thing. The physical plant was ancient. The refrigeration was supplied by a series of second hand apartment refrigerators lined-up in a row. Desserts were being carried in from Jeanine's apartment kitchen up the street. Everybody was over educated. The dishwasher had a PhD. The entire wait staff had college degrees. But except for Tom Hunter, no one had been trained for what they were about to do. A crash course in the running of a restaurant was about to begin. It was very difficult but we had a lot of fun. Six months after the restaurant's opening, on a Saturday night, a line of waiting customers could be seen stretching out the door, down the block and around the corner of 21st and Spruce streets. Unfortunately, many of those people never made it into Friday Saturday Sunday that night due to the slow turnover. However, those that did returned home with fantastic reports of fabulous food, inexpensive prices and a captivating atmosphere. Now over 39 years have passed and many of the faces have changed. However, the traditions of quality food, fair prices and charming atmosphere are alive and well at Friday Saturday Sunday and continue to drive this restaurant's popularity. Philadelphia Life names Friday Saturday Sunday Best Romantic Dining "It may be on the tiny side, but that's all right because this romantic gem in Rittenhouse Square is designed for getting close. In addition to the excellent cuisine, this dimly lit charmer offers a great wine list, terrific martinis and experience designed to keep your eyes squarely on the man or woman sitting in front of you."

Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz & Performing Arts is ranked highly as a must visit venue that offers America’s original art form jazz on a regular basis. Founded in 1966 by James Adams and members of an African American musicians union Local #274, membership included Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Sara Vaughn, Sonny Stitt, Art Blakey, Dinah Washington, Max Roach, Clifford Brown, Shirley Scott, “Philly” Joe Jones, Tootie Heath, Jimmy Heath, John Coltrane, Dizzy Gillespie, Grover Washington, Jr., and Nina Simone among others were in attendance. The Music Education Programs began in 1985 as the Clef Club members began to recognize a decline in new and available Philadelphia jazz talent. Member-driven outreach initially included local musicians who volunteered their time and energy to teach jazz to local youth who were interested. By 1988 the Clef Club received a seed grant that helped to establish the initial Jazz Education efforts. It moved to its present facility, a new four-story building on the Avenue of the Arts, in 1995. The Clef Club of Jazz and Performing Arts located at Broad and Fitzwater Streets, was the first new building in the city’s ambitious Avenue of the Arts development project. The new three-story building, houses a cabaret and performance space, archives, classrooms and rehearsal rooms. The William Penn Foundation was the first investor that made it possible for the Clef Club to be located on South Broad Street by providing operating and capital support. Over the years, the Clef Club was a Lila Wallace Readers Digest National Jazz Network Site and presented a spring and fall season of jazz performances, workshops and residencies. The Clef Club hosted several distinguished Artists-in-Residence during its history including Bassist Larry Ridley, Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation “Living Legacy Awardee,” saxophonist Oliver Lake, saxophonist Makonde McIntyre and jazz hip-hop workshops, all through The Coltrane Project. Today, musicians such as Christian McBride, Joey Defrancisco, James Carter, George Burton, Sherry Wilson Butler, Monnette Sudler, Molyka Sanofa, Billy Paul, Bernard Purdie, Lou Cioci & Buddy Cifone, Larry McKenna, Brian Pasto, Ellen Gahnt, Tony Vicola, Michael Andrews and Roots of Music present concerts at the Clef Club. Today, the Clef Club is part of Berklee School of Music’s Berklee City Music Network, utilizing a proprietary curriculum called the Berklee PULSE music method that is centered around present day music styles, the instruments that youth tend to select, and the incorporation of essential theoretic, listening, improvisational and performance skills. It is through the education program and our performance ensemble and presenting program that we preserve the legacy and insure the future of this great American music. The Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz & Performing Arts mission is to celebrate and preserve the legacy of jazz through education and to support the evolving form through public programs.

Good times and live music ride again at Broad Street’s famous Boot and Saddle. Shuttered in 1995, this iconic landmark will re-open under the partnership between Sean Agnew’s R5 Productions, New York City’s The Bowery Presents and Mark Fichera on September 9th 2013 as a 150-person capacity live music venue and 60-seat restaurant. While live music will pack the back room of the new Boot and Saddle beginning at 8pm some 150 nights of the year, a separate 60-seat main room and kitchen will be open seven days a week, from 5pm ‘til 2 am, featuring a full-service bar, 10 rotating local craft beers, seasonal beers from around the United States, as well as inexpensive domestic crowd favorites. Under the direction of R5 Productions, concert-goers can look forward to this new destination hosting the day’s most exciting local and national artists across all genres, ranging from punk, metal and indie rock to electronic, singer-songwriters—and, yes, there will even be some country back at the Boot and Saddle – all experienced in an intimate back concert room featuring the same d&b Audiotechnik soundsystems that have earned Union Transfer consistent accolades as one of the city’s best sounding venues. This distinguishes Boot and Saddle as one of the only small-size room in US to boast this critically acclaimed soundsystem, guaranteeing the best experience for show-goers. With all of these innovations and improvements, some elements of the old Boot and Saddle will still inform its new look. Preserving the venue’s original tin-ceiling and walls and hardwood floors, the new proprietors are pleased to maintain a welcoming, time-capsule décor—complete with folk-art cowboy murals—reflecting the building’s history as Philadelphia’s one-time only country bar. And, yes, the iconic neon sign stays, of course. You can purchase tickets for Boot & Saddle shows online by clicking the TICKETS icon on any show page on our site to be taken to the Ticketfly site.
