New York’s Death & Company might just be planning a spot in Philadelphia. According to Down By The Hipster and a commenter, the word is that a similar place is coming to Philadelphia. It’ll be called Franklin Mortgage and Investment Company and if a commenter is to be believed, it’ll be heading into the Bar Noir Space on 18th Street.
The Illadelph has some more thoughts on the matter.

This is exciting if true. However, I don’t see a spot in the old Bar Noir location having the same allure as Death & Co. The whole underground speakeasy feel with bouncers who only let those in with a passcode is what makes it fun. Either way, overpriced amuse bouche for all!

Death & Co no longer uses passwords – seems most places that try this give it up after awhile.
