Eater Philly dug up a great nugget we couldn’t resist sharing with you. Filmmaker David Lynch (Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive) recently joined forces with Dom Perignon to design a signature bottle; at the reveal party in L.A., PAFA-educated Lynch discussed how Philadelphia became his “greatest inspiration.” But wait. It gets better: “The mood of the place, the architecture, what I saw and heard and felt. It was very magical….
