Water Works Restaurant Imminent

The Fairmount Park Commission has selected a firm to operate a restaurant at the historic Water Works, near the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Azalea Garden. The restaurant will be Mediterranean-themed and will have an ambiance and elegance similar to New York’s Tavern on the Green in New York's Central Park. The new operator expects to spend $1-$2 million to refurbish the existing structure and surrounding area. Seating for 100 inside will be provided, with 130 alfresco spots during warmer months.
