New life for the 401 Diner
The Conshohocken diner, which closed last winter, is getting a full redo.
Emboldened by their success at Isabella in Conshohocken, Tom Richter, Peter Richter, and chef Michael Cappon are sprucing up the 401 Diner on the other end of town, at Fourth and Fayette Streets. (See the glowing LaBan review here.)
The 401, which closed last winter, is due to reemerge later this month with a new concept, branded as "Comfort with a Conscience." Cappon will offer a healthier take on comfort food with an emphasis on local, organic and sustainable ingredients.
The interior and kitchen are being revamped, and Tom Richter himself is designing a new glass mosaic for the exterior. It will be BYOB with no corkage, and they're planning to offer seasonal mixers to accompany spirits, plus live music on the weekends.
