Congrats to Tria Cafe which is named the number four wine bar in all the land by Bon Appetit this month. [Bon Appetit]

Chick’s Cafe & Wine Bar got some good news from the State as Chick’s liquor license has finally been extended to the outside tables.

Drew Lazor has some more details on Kung Fu Necktie, the former Penalty Box at Front and Thompson that by all accounts has been totally overhauled. [Feeding Frenzy, City Paper]

We loved Blue In Green when it was on 3rd Street. Liked it when it was on Sansom and admitedly haven’t made it to the most recent location at 12th and Chestnut. And we’ll have to hurry as the corner spot is closing in a couple weeks to become Hot Dog Corner. [Phoodie.info]

The Inquirer food section, briefly:

Eat your greens! They’re good for you!
Where there are calorie counts and carbon counts, confusion is not far behind.

Michael Klein tells us that Pearl is open, so is Blue in Green. Sansom Street Oyster House is getting a facelift.

A couple of places that we’ve mentioned in the past now have names. Konstantinos Pitsillides’ Greek BYOB at 10th will be known as Kanella and Spruce. Alison Barshak’s second restaurant will go with Alison Two, which puts it near the top of the unfortunate names list. [Food & Drinq]

Speaking of unfortunate names, Bottom of the Sea is opening a location on the 700 block of South Street in the former Kama Sutra/Frank DiCicco campaign headquarters. [Feeding Frenzy, City Paper]

Blue In Green which we first mentioned was returning back in October is just days from opening on Chestnut Street. [Table Talk, Philadelphia Inquirer]

Devil’s Den, the gastropub at 11th and Ellsworth is hoping for an early February opening. Expect a focus on German and local beers. [Feeding Frenzy, City Paper]

Devil’s Alley owner Susan Schilisman is bringing her Sam’s Grill concept the corner of 11th and Sansom. [Table Talk, Philadelphia Inquirer]

If you believe the orange placards it looks like Del Frisco’s steakhouse is really coming to the Packard building at 15th and Chestnut. [Philly Chit Chat]

Oh great, Ho Sai Gai’s long closed 10th and Race location is going to return. Sorry we’re not more excited but growing up our phone number was one off from theirs and we received lots of late night drunk dials requesting wonton soup. Lets hope the number is different this time around. [Table Talk, Philadelphia Inquirer]

Blue In Green, the well remembered breakfast spot that once had locations in Old City and on Jewelers Row is coming back! This time it will be a tenant in Tony Goldman’s White Building at 12th and Chestnut. No word on an exact opening date or whether they’ll still have their unadvertised pancake special.
