Shank's & Evelyn's plans to move

Shank's & Evelyn's, that iconic South Philly luncheonette, is fixing to move uptown.

Pam Poppa explains the sign on the window, noted on Foobooz.com the other day, that gives April 30 as the last day.

Poppa's mom, matriarch Evelyn Perri, has sold the building and wants to relocate to Center City.

They have expressed interest in 120 S. 15th Street, the vacant sandwichery just above Sansom and across from the Union League.

Poppa says the partnership that brought a Shank's location to the Northeast last year has dissolved.

The best Chicken Cutlet, Provalone and Rabb sandwich you can buy is at this place.

The people who run this joint are hard working really nice nice people. I wish them all the best. They better deliver though- or I'll die of starvation.
