Lead Story

Sixteen Restaurants, One Week, and a Gift Card on the Line

· · 1 min read

Mark the calendar, sharpen the appetite, and maybe stretch out the waistband a little. Conshohocken Restaurant Week is back from September 21 through 27, with sixteen restaurants along Fayette Street and beyond serving up special menus. The event is presented by The Courts at Spring Mill Station, which is a nice way of saying the apartment complex would very much like you to think about them while you eat.

Sixteen restaurants is a lot for a town this size, and it lines up with the reputation the borough has been quietly building. MONTCO.Today has been calling Conshy one of the region's most explosive dining destinations, and the restaurant week roster is essentially the evidence exhibit.

There is also a giveaway attached. Enter to win a $100 gift card to the participating restaurant of your choice, which is either a fun family dinner or a very civilized date night depending on who you leave at home. Full details and the restaurant lineup are over at MoreThanTheCurve.

Goodness Bowls Signs the Old La Locanda Building on Fayette

Two things at once from one storefront is an interesting move, and Fayette Street keeps racking up these kinds of announcements. If you have been watching the restaurant map fill in block by block, this is another data point in that trend. The full story is at MoreThanTheCurve.

Angelo's Keeps the Old Conshohocken Bread Ovens Warm

·

You can talk about Conshohocken's dining boom all you want, but there is also a bread-baking legacy in this town that predates any of the current buzz. Angelo's Pizzeria has been keeping that tradition alive, running a wholesale bread operation that traces back through generations of local bakers.

MONTCO.Today walked through how the pizzeria has been quietly preserving that lineage, one crusty loaf at a time. It is the kind of business story where the ledger matters less than the fact that somebody still bothers. Read the whole piece at MONTCO.Today.

Plymouth Township Moves Data Center Hearings Back to the Small Room

·

The proposed data center at 900 Conshohocken Road in Plymouth Township has been drawing crowds. Big enough crowds, in fact, that the township's zoning hearing board voted on August 17 to move future hearings back to the smaller township meeting room. The stated reason is that crowd noise was interfering with capturing a correct public record.

Whether the crowd was too loud or the room was too small is a distinction worth thinking about, and it is one plenty of residents have already started thinking about. If you have been following the data center story, or you have a family reason to care about what gets built at 900 Conshohocken Road, the hearing venue is now the smaller township building. Coverage is at MoreThanTheCurve.
