Former district attorney the latest Philadelphian etched into a beer glass

    Now that she’s not charging criminals, former District Attorney Lynne Abraham is much more accessible. In fact, you can grab a beer with her every night.

    Abraham is the latest in a strange group of Philadelphians to have her face etched into a beer mug at Old City’s National Mechanics.

     

    The bar also features glasses depicting Bill Cosby and Ira Einhorn. Abraham is the first woman to hold such an honor.

    She gave this humble response to KYW: “I was the first outstanding young leader of Philadelphia, I was the first woman on Municipal Court the first woman district attorney and now my face on a beer glass. I just think the sky is the limit.”

    Abraham also joked she wasn’t sure if seeing her face on the glass would encourage or discourage drinking. The Gary Heidnik mug probably has that confusing situation taken care of.
