Atlantic City Restaurant Adding Philly Location

ATLANTIC CITY RESTAURANT RHYTHM & SPIRITS SET TO DEBUT

SECOND LOCATION IN PHILADELPHIA

The Tennessee Avenue Restaurant Will Open Its Suburban Station Location in Spring 2024

Atlantic City (February 13, 2024) - Restaurateur Mark Callazzo and food & beverage expert Lee Sanchez are bringing the exciting essence of their dynamic duo to Philadelphia with an expected opening in spring. Rhythm & Spirits, their contemporary Italian-American restaurant on Tennessee Avenue in Atlantic City, is opening a second location at Suburban Station in the City of Brotherly Love in early 2024. Callazzo and Sanchez, both distinguished entrepreneurs and visionaries, plan to duplicate the elegantly eclectic vibe of Rhythm & Spirits Atlantic City in Philadelphia, establishing a new upscale yet approachable restaurant and bar destination.

 

Expanding the brand of Rhythm & Spirits has been a longtime dream for Sanchez, and Philadelphia made the most sense for the next location. A large base of loyal customers reign from Philadelphia, and the proximity to Atlantic City is also a huge bonus.

 

“Many of our customers are from Philadelphia, so we are really excited to open our second location in Center City,” Sanchez said. “Our Philadelphia customers who have shore homes here have been telling us how much they wish we had a second location in Philadelphia. So, we are really thrilled to open our doors this winter and bring our ‘A.C. Famous’ Rhythm & Spirits in Center City’s world-class culinary scene.”

 

The vision for Rhythm & Spirits Philadelphia includes the same innovative, carefully curated food and cocktail menu as the Atlantic City location and a nearly identical quirky atmosphere, with a reverse color scheme from dark to bright. The new Rhythm & Spirits will be twice the size of the space in AC at 4,500 square feet. In the rear of the restaurant will be 32 Chocolate Speakeasy, the Philadelphia version of Bar 32 Chocolate on Tennessee Avenue, offering bean-to-bar chocolate creations including desserts, cocktails, candy bars and more.

 

Residents and visitors of Philadelphia can look forward to enjoying award-winning cocktails, exquisite Italian-American dishes with a twist, and an oasis of trippy, tropical décor all in the heart of the city.

 

“There isn’t anything like it in Philadelphia,” Callazzo said. “It’s traditional Italian-America food with a twist and our chocolate desserts and cocktails are handmade straight from the bean to the bar. Oh, and our brunch, with an emphasis on chocolate dishes, is out of this world. We can’t wait for Philadelphia to see why we’ve become ‘A.C. Famous’.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

LEGACY STATION 1400AM WOND CELEBRATES 60 YEARS SERVING SOUTH JERSEY WITH SPECIAL DIAMOND ANNIVERSARY BROADCAST EVENT

 

Presented by Boardwalk Honda, the day-long broadcast on March 30th will take listeners on a trip down memory lane, revisiting highlights from the past 50 years

 

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ (March 26, 2012) – On Friday, March 30th, South Jersey’s heritage station, 1400AM WOND, will take listeners on a special journey back in time  -- uncovering a figurative time capsule -- revisiting the classic moments, vintage sounds and reliving the memories that have shaped the station’s rich history over the past 50 years.   

            The special Diamond Anniversary broadcast, presented by Boardwalk Honda in Egg Harbor Township, will pay homage to the legacy of WOND and celebrate the station’s 60 years of entertaining southern New Jersey, featuring WOND’s beloved personalities, old friends, classic songs & jingles, best-of highlights from all of WOND’s programs and vintage commercials well-known to the station’s loyal listeners in the region.

            “WOND has been the station that our region has depended on for news and entertainment for more than half a century,” said Dave Coskey, president of Longport Media, LLC.  “After more than 60 years of serving South Jersey, WOND remains the most live & local news talk station in our area, which is a rarity in today’s broadcasting industry.”

            Atlantic City’s “first lady of the airwaves,” WOND’s own Barbara Altman (The Front Porch With Barbara Altman) will launch the trip down memory lane with a special visit deep into her broadcast archives, offering a “best-of” format of highlights and clips of her popular show from the last 50 years.

            Then, local broadcast legend, Pinky Kravitz (Pinky’s Corner), offers listeners a once-in-a-lifetime event when he sits-down with three Atlantic City-area residents who he interviewed nearly 50 years earlier when they were students at Central Junior High School.  The original tape of Kravitz’s fascinating conversation with students Arthur Freeman, 13, Dennis Oldroyd, 12, Sharon Waters, 13, and Yaderia Rosada, 12 , was recently discovered as WOND staffers were preparing for the 60th anniversary event.  Kravitz spent nearly an hour chatting with the students - sampling their views on everything from the nuclear arms race between the United States and the former Soviet Union to the Democratic National Convention that was coming to Atlantic City that summer to the much-anticipated Aug. 31 concert that would bring The Beatles to Atlantic City for their first and only Boardwalk concert.

            Remarkably, all three of the four students (one is deceased) are still living in the area and have agreed to appear on Kravitz’s March 30 show, where they’ll spend the first hour listening to the original recording and the second hour reminiscing with Kravitz about their memories of the day the show was recorded 48 years ago.  The reunion show, which will be broadcast live from Studio 1 in the Borgata Event Center, will mark the first time the former students have seen one another since they graduated from Atlantic City High School in 1969.

            The special Diamond Anniversary broadcast culminates with a special 4-hour edition of The Weekly Recap with Bob Burns from 6pm to 10 pm.  WOND’s Bob Burns will host a reunion of WOND personalities – past & present – reminiscing about broadcasting through the years in Atlantic City – “America’s Playground.”  Special guests including Tom Lamaine, Walt Murphy, Tom Verba, Tom Williams, Bob Elliot, Bruce Ellis and Pinky Kravitz.
