If you guys have a good handle on the design, I would recommend Beth Allen. She's top notch. She doesn't talk on the phone though but she texts and emails. She's independent and will GC the whole thing. She's licensed/insured and can/will pull permits if you want.
She's a really good person too and will give you advice even if you don't go with her. I can share her number, if you'd like.

For firms, try Hivemind and Kole the min was 50k but this was in 2021. I don't know if the rates went up, checkout Oak Design Project. I really liked their vibe and explanation of things. They said 40-50k for a kitchen in 2021 which I had they money lol.

Bridgewater's was the indoor one, in the SW corner of the building. Small footprint (still vacant) bar and some hightops. Clock on the wall intentionally 10min fast. Solid rotating selection of beers, and surprisingly very good food. Perfect third space - great spot for a cheeky pint, or to kill time if your train was delayed. No surprise that it didn't survive the decrease in regional rail commuting though.

I went to the Waterloo location during the Phillies playoff run last year.. Lots of fun and I got a city wide for a taste of home. Cheesesteak was okay maybe 6/10 compared to the better Philly spots.

On another note, if you get a free hour, I highly recommend the Dennis Sever's house. They recreate different time periods late 1600s-early 1900s inside an old home. No phones and no talking so they try to make it pretty immersive.
