Intel on the 80s inspired menu!
Here's a sneak peek at the opening menu for Juniper Commons, Kevin Sbraga's ode to the 80s opening at 521 S. Broad Street this fall. The 80s theme that had us totally intrigued from the get go isn't quite as over the top as we were imagining but there are going to be housemade wine coolers on the cocktail menu (plus a pretty serious gin line up) and riffs on popular Regan era plates like baked stuffed flounder, beef burgundy and chocolate seven layer cake. Oh and no doubt there will be plenty of Lionel Richie and Chicago classics on the playlist.
