Palumbo's

Palumbo's was a popular 20th century restaurant with nightclub entertainment located near the Italian Market section of South Philadelphia.

[6] In the 1940s and 1950s, Philadelphia was an important pop music center, with many bands and singers being made or broken in the city.

[7] Benny Goodman And His Orchestra with Patti Page and pianist Teddy Wilson performed a Live 1946 radio broadcast for the 'One Night Stand' show at Frank Palumbo's Click Club in Philadelphia.

Sinatra visited the “black tie saloon” frequently[7] and Mayor Frank Rizzo spent most evenings there during his rise to power, years in office and beyond.

[12] The banquet hall became a popular cultural tradition for many social groups, business organizations, family celebrations, and special events that were mostly attracted by the reasonable prices, menu items and entertainment.
