40th St Portal

"Trolley Car Station just opened at West Philly’s revamped and renamed 40th Street Trolley Portal Gardens, with seats for 150 and breakfast, lunch, and dinner service. But opening chef Barbie Marshall, a two-time Hell’s Kitchen contestant, is already gone as executive chef. Marshall created the menu and hired the staff over the summer but left September 10, just a week in, citing other obligations with her catering and consulting business. The Trolley Car job, she says, wasn’t a good fit. Diners shouldn’t expect any disruption in service at the new restaurant." - Sarah Maiellano

"Trolley Car Station, a two-story restaurant at the new Trolley Portal Gardens— University City District’s greener, prettier reimagining of the 40th Street Trolley Portal at 40th and Baltimore — should be open in a few weeks." - Rachel Vigoda
