Harvest Seasonal Grill & Wine Bar has closed its location at 40th and Walnut after nearly five years of operation. It seems that the restaurant never recovered after a January fire and the water damage it sustained in the aftermath. What seemed like a temporary closing has now become permanent, according to The Daily Pennsylvanian. The 40th and Walnut location is no longer listed on the restaurant website.
The University of Pennsylvania, which owns the building, is currently looking for a new tenant to occupy the restaurant space on the first and second floor of the building. “The goal is to find a tenant that will appeal to both the University and surrounding community — there is no timeline at this time for a new opening,” Penn’s Executive Director of Real Estate Ed Datz told The DP.

Very unfortunate, I was a regular at that location when it was a Marathon
The “decision-makers” need to get a clue, Univ City needs a good diner
Preferably one that serves drinks…

And yet Marathon couldn’t survive there (although they were horribly managed).
Penn Students don’t want a diner. Nor do the staff and faculty of Penn who are the vast majority of patrons of the restaurants in the 40th St area. Make of that what you will. I’ll chow down on sashimi and noodles at Ramen Bar with my drink.

Red and white checkered tablecloth Italian joint, nothing like Penne, please.
