Downtown

Lola has been talking a lot lately about going downtown. She likes the action, the people, the connection. So, because she likes it so much, we decided to go ahead and open our new outpost, piccolini:rittenhouse. Now you can find us in one of two places — piccolini:main line (the original) located at 932 w. lancaster ave., bryn mawr, pa 19010 or piccolini:rittenhouse (new kid on the block coming the first week of august) located at 264 S. 20th street, philadelphia, pa 19103.

Lola thought Petula Clark expressed how she feels best in her 1965 hit, “Downtown“.

When you’re alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go - downtown
When you’ve got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know - downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?

The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, things’ll be great when you’re
Downtown - no finer place, for sure
Downtown - everything’s waiting for you

Don’t hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movie shows - downtown
Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close - downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You’ll be dancing with him too before the night is over
Happy again

The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, where all the lights are bright
Downtown - waiting for you tonight
Downtown - you’re gonna be all right now

That you will be, Lola can feel it! Come see us downtown…
