Quick Bites

Posted by Foobooz on 25th October 2007

Depending on who you believe Vango has an opening day set. Icepack reports it being Saturday, November 10th. However an ad on page 64 of City Paper lists the date as this Saturday. Vango soft-opens Saturday with an official opening set for November 10th. Michael Fee who has experience at Nobu is the chef. [Icepack, City Paper]

G, downstairs from Davio’s sounds pretty cool. And big. This 10,000 sqft lounge is set to debut November 29th, it’ll have Philadelphia first like “movable wall panels and ‘electronic wallpaper,’ projection technology that can change the mood of the lounge in a few clicks.” [Feeding Frenzy, City Paper]

Le Virtù is just about set to open at 1927 E. Passyunk Ave. Shockingly this isn’t a BYOB. But it is Italian. [Table Talk, Philadelphia Inquirer]

Just married couple Scott and Erin Wallace who own Manayunk’s Old Eagle Tavern are transforming the former Felicia’s at 11th and Ellsworth into the Devil’s Den, a beer bar with 28 taps by the end of the year. [Feeding Frenzy, City Paper]

Butcher’s Cafe which long lived in the shadow of Sabrina’s has closed. Todd Bergman has moved on to New Wave Cafe where chef Ben McNamara has headed North to St. Stephens Green. [Food and Drinq]

You have until noon today to get tickets to Taste of Philly for just $15.

New Wave Polish

Posted by Foobooz on 9th July 2007

PhillyFoodGuys head to Port Richmond’s New Wave Cafe (no relation to the Queen Village waiting room for Dmitri’s) to get some authentic Polish food.

The entrees were simple and delicious. “The Pierogies are just like I remember them,” mentioned Patti, whose mom used to make them at home. Fried in butter with a cheese and potato filling, these dumplings eclipsed any version that I’ve previously sampled. I found the firm exterior and the filling soft, similar to a large ravioli.

The Other New Wave

Posted by Foobooz on 30th November 2006

New Wave Cafe Port Richmond

The sign outside may say it’s a restaurant, bar and disco but at the New Wave Cafe in Port Richmond, you’ll come for the pierogies and other authentic Polish standards like kielbasa and borscht.
