WHO: Private mortgage banker and avid car lover and golfer. PIER PLEASER: “I love going to Morgan’s Pier (221 N. Columbus Blvd., 215-279-7134; morganspier.com) to enjoy some fantastic Jose Garces food, local craft beers, and a walk along the river with my wife, Joy, and children.” CAR FANATIC: “I have a passion for fast cars. I have been driving Land Rovers for 20 years! My go-to spot is Land Rover Main Line (325 E. Lancaster Ave., Wayne, 610-520-2000; landrovermainline.com), they always have what I want.” GO-TO BRUNCH: “Nice weather this time of the year also calls for Sunday brunch on Rittenhouse Square. I’ll order up the eggs Norwegian from Parc (227 S. 18th St., 215-545-2262; parc-restaurant.com)— the smoked salmon and hollandaise sauce perfectly pairs with a bottle of Veuve Clicquot. It’s great to sit there with my wife and witness the city come back to life after a cold winter. Trees and flowers are in bloom, people are exercising and walking their dogs—it really is amazing.”
