Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake attended the grand opening of Lenny’s Deli in the Pratt Street Pavilion at Harborplace today. This was the happy pavilion. The announcement today that original tenant Phillip Seafood was leaving this Fall made the Light Street Pavilion made that the sad pavilion. The mayor, according to the an account in the Daily Record, learned of Phillips' closing while attending the grand opening at Lenny's.
Lenny's opened in April into what used to be the bottom half of La Tasca, which still occupies the upper level. The Harborplace location is the third for Lenny's, which also operates in Owings Mills and on Corned Beef Row. Alan Smith (a family friend I haven't seen in years) is running the family business founded by his father, Lenny Smith.
