Stephen Starr eyes new restaurant in Rittenhouse Barnes and Noble

• It's moving to a smaller location on the 1700 block of Chestnut Street, where Forever 21 was formerly located.
• The new store, which will not include a Starbucks cafe like the flagship location, could open as soon as late March.

The intrigue: Starr, who runs Philly staple Parc and a number of other trendy restaurants around the city, told Axios he's opening up a restaurant in the Walnut Street location.

• He declined to offer any other details, but said to stay tuned.

Yes, but: Real estate magnet Allan Domb, the former city councilman now running for mayor, owns the Walnut Street location and told Axios that "nothing is definite yet."

• Domb said he's in talks about turning it into a restaurant "for potentially Starr or somebody else."
