Everything to Know About the Eater Award Winners | Eater Philly

"A long-running Rittenhouse diner I remember being widely eulogized when it closed, Little Pete’s was a 24-hour spot with a horseshoe counter, booths, and a bevy of regulars; it held on until the end of May before being forced to make way for a Hyatt hotel. Opened by Pete Koutroubas in June 1978, the place’s looming demise had been circulating for years, and its closure prompted tributes from NPR and photographer Michael Penn, Instagram memories from John Hodgman, a framed piece of the floor that Matthew Cahn hung in his restaurant, and the distinction of being named Eater Philly’s saddest closure of the year." - Eater Staff
