This New York institution is opening up a location on Broad Street. Oh, happy day!
Last night
Douglas Quint
and
Bryan Petroff
announced that they were
bringing their beloved NYC ice cream shop
Big Gay Ice Cream
to Philadelphia....
As reported by Philly.com
, Quint and Petroff will be opening at the
SouthStar Lofts
. They liked this location for the fact that it made them part of a "culinary neighborhood." "Something that we always try to do when we choose locations is make sure that we're amongst good company ... [In Philadelphia], we'll be in walking distance to Marc Vetri's restaurants, Kevin Sbraga's, and Jose Garces' restaurants." They've been working on securing the lease for the Philadelphia shop since the beginning of the year.
With an August or September opening, the Philadelphia location will be opening around the same time as the
upcoming Los Angeles location
. Petroff says that project got delayed due to some trouble with the city, but that construction will soon be underway. Petroff, who moved to Los Angeles recently, will be overseeing the LA build out while Quint works on getting the Philadelphia shop open.
