In response to the Pink Penny Awards 2009, April 3-9
I found the rating of Knock Restaurant, 225 S. 12th St., as the “Best Place to Find a Sugar Daddy” distasteful and unacceptable. The language and tone of this article, while in jest, does a disservice to this wonderful establishment.
The management of Knock Restaurant has worked tirelessly to lift the quality and caliber of the Philadelphia gay bar and restaurant scene. To classify Knock Restaurant as a place to “class it up a bit to get your student loans paid off” is an insult to both the dedicated staff and loyal patrons.
It is disheartening to learn the Philadelphia Gay News can be so reckless in its publication. — Evan Garrett
