Here's a reward for those who have been following the creation of the Israeli restaurant Zahav on our blog, "The Making of Zahav":
The restaurant -- still under construction -- will host a public reception for a photographic exhibition by Michael T Regan from 6 to 9 p.m. April 25. (Zahav's address is 237 St. James Place in Society Hill; it's in a low building on the north side of Society Hill Towers, and faces the cobblestone street just east of the Ritz movie theater and behind Positano Coast at Second and Walnut Streets).
Regan accompanied Zahav management on its recent fat-finding (OK, fact-finding) trip to Israel, and he's come back with some stunning work.
Light nibbles will be provided. The restaurant is now up for an "early May" opening.
Inquirer video producer Steven Benjamin, meanwhile, has put together a neat little video of general manager Max Shapiro demonstrating three new drinks that will be on Zahav's bar list.
