Over 300 of the Main Line’s biggest movers and shakers kicked off Spring Main Line Restaurant Week in high style at Sullivan’s in King of Prussia!

It was the most incredible and memorable kickoff to Main Line Restaurant Week!

Over 300 of the region’s biggest movers and shakers celebrated the launch of Spring Main Line Restaurant Week in high style at Sullivan’s in King of Prussia on Thursday, April 19, 2012! Attendees partied the night away with AroundMainLine.com CEO Sarah Lockard and hundreds of locals who came out to meet, mingle and mix it up with a veritable who’s who of the top socialites and socializers from across the Main Line and Delaware Valley!

As with all fabulous AroundMainLine.com events, there was no cover to attend and free food flowed throughout the cocktail party, along with outstanding drink specials, thanks to the generous staff of Sullivan’s Steakhouse.

In addition, each attendee was treated to an incredible swag bag chocked full of gift certificates and coupons to several Main Line Restaurant Week participants.
AroundMainLine.com clients were each treated to a party favor of a bottle of chardonnay compliments of Kennett Square’s Galer Estate Vineyard and Winery.

The party was the official unveiling of Sullivan’s half-million dollar renovation—which includes the beautiful, new private dining area inside the restaurant and the fun, full-service outdoor patio!

The outdoor patio, fully outfitted with HDTV’s, is covered to protect patrons from the elements and features heaters to keep warm on chilly nights. The patio seats 50 guests, while the private dining room-complete with a 70? HDTV for presentations, a separate sound system and microphone-can host approximately 60-70.

Havertown’s New Pace Productions, the official video production company of AroundMainLine.com, covered the event and produced this outstanding music video along with coordinating photos from Betsy Barron Fine Art Photography.

It is ‘Mom's Night Out’ at The Gables at Chadds Ford-the perfect night for a group of local moms to wine and dine in style!

Moms in and around Delaware County…you deserve a girl’s night out! How about a fantastic treat at The Gables at Chadds Ford courtesy of AML starting Tuesday, February 7th?

Cool History

Wondering about this gorgeous property you have probably passed by dozens of times on Baltimore Pike? The Gables at Chadds Ford is situated on land that was originally part of a 138 acre land grant from William Penn to Brinton King. Around 1745, a pre-Revolutionary style house was built on the property. One of the first homes to be built in Pennsbury Township, the property operated as a working farm and quietly became part of the Brandywine Valley’s history. The route along Route One is well known to have housed numerous stops for the Underground Railroad during the Civil War. It has been suspected that the King house may have been one of these stops.

The house was renovated in the late 1800s by George C. King, son of Brinton King. He adopted the popular Victorian style by adding wrap around porches and twenty three gables. And, two of the four original chimneys from the pre-Revolutionary style home are still visible. In March of 2002, the house was placed on the National Historic Register.

Dates and Deets for Mom’s Night Out

So…AML and The Gables put our heads together and thought this is just about the perfect setting for a very fun series, Mom’s Night Out. Starting every other Tuesday, February 7th and running through Tuesday, April 17th, every group of four moms or more who dine at The Gables for dinner will receive a complimentary cheese platter and half off one glass of house wine each. It’s a guilt-free and very fun excuse for local moms to get together and hang out with friends at one of the western suburbs best restaurants! The dates for Mom’s Night Out are as follows:

Tuesday, February 7th
Tuesday, February 21st
