Giving Hearts!

The Morgan Stanley Foundation is supported by each of the departments within Morgan Stanley. The Foundation has given Keep the Faith in Frankford much needed donations over the past two years.

Those donations go directly to helping us feed those in need through the Northeast Committee on the Homeless’ Dining with Dignity Program that operates at St. Mark’s Church. We have prepared and served over 500 people a hot meal and and have sent them home with dinner bags because of these donations.

There are very good people in our community who don’t need accolades nor do they want them. They genuinely care for others and do the right thing. Morgan Stanley does that, too! They encourage their employees to get involved in their communities and they support their efforts with matching grants and additional monies.

To our unsung hero at Morgan Stanley whose heart is in our Frankford community, thank you for all that you do! We also thank Morgan Stanley for acknowledging your efforts with their generous donations to Keep the Faith in Frankford!

Another Stop on the Bars of Frankford Tour

This week we’re at 4738 Frankford Avenue at the former Billy’s Chili Pot.  It was a local legend until it was sold in September of 2015.  It reopened as WV Cold Beer LLC.  Well at least there are no crowds blocking the sidewalk.  It is operating with a restaurant license (R7670), according to the LCB database.  That means they must have tables and chairs fir at least 30 people and:

In order to qualify for a restaurant liquor license, the establishment must be a reputable place habitually and principally used for the purpose of providing food for the public.

It that really the primary business conducted by this store?

Third in Our Series of Hidden Dining in Frankford

This week we’re at 4655 Frankford Avenue at Mario’s No. 1-Eight Pk Inc.  It is licensed as a restaurant by our highly esteemed Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board.  As such “to qualify for a restaurant liquor license, the establishment must be a reputable place habitually and principally used for the purpose of providing food for the public. The establishment shall have an area within a building of not less than 400 square feet and must be equipped with tables and chairs to accommodate at least 30 persons at one time.”

The business is for sale and it does not have a long line of eager customers, like some of our other licenses restaurants.  It does make you wonder what attracts the crowd to those other places.  Could it be the food?
