Trunk Show! (July 15, 2016) What’s old is new-new-new again. Several dozen folks got first gander – and a little grub – at the new restaurant, The Elephant, at its Grand Opening Cocktail Party. Owners Steven and Linda Rivelis paid homage to the building’s history as the former Brass Elephant restaurant by keeping much of its famed architecture and accouterments, while updating the décor and atmosphere.
