Delmonico’s Steakhouse Grand Reopening Hosted by Philadelphia Style Magazine and Howard and JoAnn Wurzak

I was hired to cover the Redesign/Grand Opening of Del Monico’s Famous Steak House on the Main Line last night at 4200 City Avenue,inside the Hilton Hotel. Surprisingly my early evening post afternoon rush drive from Center City only took about 15 mins. The Hilton has convenient valet parking, or on the street parking, even with this big event I was able to find a spot.
Our hosts for the evening included: Howard Wurzak is President and CEO of the Wurzak Hotel Group.; with wife JoAnn, Philadelphia Style Magazine publisher John Colabelli, Chelsea Wurzak, and Colby Miller (missing from picture aspiring actress Brittany Wurzak)
Mainline PR Style Diva Sarah Doheny and partner in many ways, John Soden arrive on the scene, now we can get the party started.Milica Stojancic with Hacina Saadi. Every month Hacina hosts “Girls Night Out” dinners at some of the hottest restaurants in the area. No doubt here tonight checking out Del Monico’s for a future engagement. “Dinners are for most of all for fun, socializing, networking and for meeting new people and friends. Any girls can be a member.”
Sherry Witman, Sharon Delix, Judy Lundy, Nancy Amoroso, Jill Powell, Hilarie Morgan, JoAnne Wurzak, Sherri Shaffer and Linda ChodorowDonna Coghlan and Charlie Pasquale. Donna and Charlie just returned from an exciting trip to Disney World where they say the VIP Pass that allows you
Dinner was a buffet, elaborately staged with everything from oysters to prime rib, but unlike during cocktails, the lines looked interminable, but people were patient and by the time I was ready for a few oysters, I zipped right thru. The room as you see is beautiful, with a lovely banquette and floral design to break up the center of the room.

PS If your photo wasn’t on here, then it is being held back for Philadelphia Style Magazine. That doesn’t mean the above photos won’t make the magazine either. None of these photos can be sent out or purchased through PhillyChitChat, sorry.
I know, I know, I promised the Tony Coverage, but one of my caveats is if I am hired by someone they get preferential placement. Tonight, tonight, I promise it's tonight. I will give you the ins and outs and behind the scenes of the goings on at the Tony Awards. Plus photos that were not published anywhere else, I think.
I'm hungry. They had steak sliders, that were delicious, wish I were still there. You missed the lobster too.
