We're sure the moniker has great historical significance in Philly as well

Based on the name of his latest eatery, Philadelphia chef Michael O'Halloran is a little shameless, a little clueless, or a bit of both. Introducing: The Waverly. (Judging by the fact that the news arrived via emailed press release, we're leaning toward shamelessthough a publicist for the chef assured us the place is actually named after a nearby street and not the restaurant co-owned by a certain editor in chief.) While the French-leaning menu has its share of comfort foodduck-fat fried potatoes, anyone?it appears to be mercifully free of truffled mac and cheese. Also absent: "Fritz."
