SPTing Image

Tapping into the Tap Room

SPTR builds on the classic model: a casually delivered combination of basic sandwiches, fried items and relatively exotic animal parts, with an emphasis on the latter.

The Transporter

Kanella flies you all the way to Cyprus.

Kanella is a fresh, fantastic addition to the local BYO lineup. For one thing, there's no other kitchen serving this food — the cuisine of Cyprus is an unmistakable amalgam of Greek and Turkish influences augmented by notes from France, Italy, Lebanon and elsewhere — in the region.

All is Fulya Love

A new café offers Turkish charm in coffeehouse form.

Are these the beginnings of some kind of local Ottoman restaurant empire? Fine by me.

Gleaming the ¡Cuba!

The island flavors are on point at this Latin haven.

Much like the late great Café Habana, ¡Cuba! eschews nuevo-style, guava-glazed, truffle-studded cuisine for homespun, soul-pleasing cooking.

Good for Something

Many of Goodburger's best items aren't burgers at all.

It's just a shame that the burger in question is, in actuality, just fair to middling.

Stopped Clock

There are some skillful strokes — but Time still needs more of it.

With its gilt clocks and silk-screened images of timepieces affixed to the walls, the "concept" seems to be nostalgia itself — whether the longing is for an '03 vintage or for an era when drinking hallucinogenics and grooving to jazz were the habits of true bohemians, not Urban Outfitters-clad condo owners.

That's My Queue

Lining up for the good stuff at Hamifgash

The droves of people lined up here on any given weekday know there's treasure in them thar falafel fryers.

Strictly Memphis

From grub to booze, this Kensington taproom is doing it right.

This is an old-school corner bar reinvigorated with all the right touches: vintage lighting fixtures, artisan ironwork, a set of taps spouting 11 affordable craft beers, accessible yet interesting eats. Even the ketchup slides out easy.

Mali High

Simple flavors drive this modest West Philly eatery.

We came to West Philly's Soleil de Minuit specifically because it offered Malian cuisine (the only such restaurant in Philly that I know of).

The Grill of your Dreams

Korean BBQ Gaya fires it up in Blue Bell.

From the start, the food is fresh and made with care. Banchan, or small complimentary dishes, are well-considered here.
