Such a perfect tribute to this place and the man who has defined it, Mary Kate. Mike is the very best.

I still don’t remember how I found Travel Bar shortly after it opened. I chalk it up to the name inviting a sense of exploration since it was far away from where I’d usually be walking down Court St. It probably was after being at Buttermilk Channel (I miss it already).

Like any halfway decent person who’s ever walked into Travel Bar, i love this essential and unique spot! And I constantly marvel at the surprises Mike and the always warm and knowledgeable staffers provide.

After the previous post about the influence of LeNell’s and Char No. 4, other places that offered a broad sense of discovery, here’s to making sure Travel Bar gets the appreciation it deserves always (and that it is forever!)

Finally catching up on some old newsletters (we've been packing/moving/unpacking/etc since the beginning of the month). Excited to see you're doing an event at Palizzi – it's just a short walk from our new place. I'll keep an eye out for more info!

I hope you can come! It's been a minute since I've been to Philly.
