or the neighbors on your block. But whoever YOUR people are, summer is for face-timing them the old fashioned way...in person!
But the question is always: "Where are we going to meet?"
Here are a few ideas. Some are free, some are not - but all are outdoors, or have a deck or patio option...
STINGERS RESTAURANT, ON THE DELAWARE RIVER - “It’s Always a Great Time on the Water!”
A few weeks ago Edith, a Bureau co-worker, attended a family party for 30 people on the outdoor deck of Stingers. She gave a big thumbs up to the event, the service, great river views and patio breezes at Kevin Farrell's and Chef/Owner Joseph Mele's newest venture at the Ridley Marina.

AUTOGRAPH BRASSERIE IS HOME TO GREAT FOOD... and exudes a sublime legacy of celebrity!
Marilyn, another team member here at the Bureau, joined a group of old friends last month at Autograph Brasserie, on the Main Line in Wayne. She gave it rave reviews for atmosphere, food and decor! Autograph Brasserie, part of Marty Grims' Fearless Restaurants, opened in 2016 in the former location of Peppercorn and George's. The building's rich history and French influence framed the inspiration of a concept Grims has had for over 20 years.
Featured throughout the restaurant are over 1000 celebrity autographs, music albums, and authentic photographs celebrating those individuals that have impacted popular American culture.
