Center City District's President/CEO Paul Levy R. on how the city is rebounding from the last three years — and what new leaders must do

We began our episode by serving up the freshest meals in Camden County as we spoke with the co-owner and Chef of Corinne's Place.  Originally born from a small catering business, the Founder Corinne Bradley-Powers grew her business into a beloved neighborhood spot; offering scratch-made foods that visitors from all over would travel to enjoy. Eventually word spread and her meals became so enticing that even celebrities and food critics became repeat customers.  Mrs. Bradley-Powers eventually sold her business to Trevor Vaughan & his partner, Craig Sawyer, but not without Corinne's blessing; Corinne's new role within her famed restaurant is being the new owner's consultant.  After ownership of the restaurant changed hands in 2019, Corinne's Place was nominated (and won) the James Beard Foundation's "America's Classics" Award, which is given to establishments that have remained open for at least 10 years, and reflect the character of its community.  We touch on all of this and more, so stay tuned to hear about Corinne's Place's mouth-watering foods made with a whole lot of heart. Speaking of heart, we take you into the heart of Philadelphia's dining scene as we speak with Michelle Shannon who is the Vice President of Market and Communications for Center City District's Restaurant Week.  Michelle and Gene had an enlightening discussion regarding the origins of Restaurant Week and the role it plays within the community.  The two-week long event not only highlights some of the most prestigious restaurants within center city, it benefits all of you by providing the opportunity to taste the flavors of Philadelphia's vibrant dining scene at a set price.  If you are looking to experience a restaurant that you've not heard of before, or perhaps one that is on your date-night bucket list, Center City Districts Restaurant Week is the perfect time to get a taste of what you're craving! Now if what you're craving is a delicious Mediterranean meal, then our next guest will surely tempt your taste buds!  Spice Finch's Executive Chef, Michael Brenfleck, joined us to discuss the delectable options for their Center City Restaurant Week Menu!  As we discussed a variety of Spice Finch's menu, both our co-hosts salivated over the luscious descriptions of every item.  And what better way to enjoy a richly devised meal than to pair it with the perfect wines? This is why Chef Brenfleck sat with Spice Finch's Beverage Manager to pick just the right wine to pair with the first two courses.  Now that is something I would like lingering on my palate--and you can too, so long as you stay tuned in for the entire episode of Food, Farms, & Chefs!

Center City District Restaurant Week is returning this year from Jan. 15-28, and it's got a line-up of more than 60 eateries.

In a groundbreaking new report, the head of Center City District starkly lays out the problem — and calls for Philadelphia's next mayor to fully invest in growth

Join our panel for an innovative discussion about University City as a blueprint for making Philadelphia a world class city. Moderated by Center City District's Prema Katari Gupta, panelists include John Fry (President, Drexel University), David Adelman (CEO, Campus Apartments), Jeff Marrazzo (CEO, Sparks Therapeutics) and Della Clark (CEO, Enterprise Center).

Central business districts have had a particularly tough time during the pandemic, with big ripple effects for all different kinds of businesses and organizations who normally rely on having much larger daytime populations downtown. That’s led to a lot of speculation about the future of these places, and how they’ll fare if certain pandemic-era trends like increased remote work prove to be sticky even after the public health recovery. On the latest episode of our Home Rule podcast, we talked with Paul Levy, CEO of Center City District, about the outlook for Center City, what makes him optimistic about a strong rebound after the pandemic, and what city officials can do to leverage Philadelphia’s strengths for a full economic recovery.  Center City District recently celebrated its 30 year anniversary, so we also discussed what things were like in 1991 when Levy first came on the job, the ingredients of CCD's economic after the 1990's, and why nobody should be satisfied to simply return to the strong-for-Philly growth trajectory that we’d been on prior to COVID-19. Give it a listen at the link, and stay tuned for more episodes of Home Rule, part of the RADIOKISMET podcast network here in Philadelphia.
