With no television and an elegant Rittenhouse vibe, a.kitchen was leaning toward closing for the Super Bowl even before the Eagles clinched the NFC Championship. The news that the Birds were headed to the big game sealed it.
“Every year, the Super Bowl is a quiet night for us,” general manager Joey Campanella said, adding that a.kitchen will be open for Sunday brunch but not for dinner. “But especially with the Eagles being in the Super Bowl, we thought it would be nice for our staff to be able to watch it themselves.”
Yards Brewery, which has had big crowds since opening its new location on Spring Garden Street in November, would seem a perfect place to catch a game, but it won’t be open.
