The relocated Fond gears up to open

Fond owners Lee Styer and Jessie Prawlucki and Tory Keomanivong are in the final stages of moving their BYOB nearby into a now-liquor-licensed corner of 11th and Tasker Streets, across from the Singing Fountain and steps off East Passyunk Avenue.

Fond, opening for dinner Thursday, Dec. 6, intends to keep the current menu and prices, adding a small bar menu. The seven-or-so-seat bar was fashioned from American walnut and the building's ceiling tiles. A private dining room right off the kitchen will seat 10 at a wooden table.

Alcohol: two beers on tap, three by the bottle; seven bottles of red, seven bottles of white; five of each by the glass, plus mixed drinks.

Their old place, at 1617 E. Passyunk, will remain empty, but Styer said they were kicking around a couple of ideas.
