Restaurant Round-Up

If it seems like new restaurants are popping up everywhere, it is because they are.  Philly Inquirer recently reported on the increase in fine dining in center city, stating there are now 278 "fine dining" restaurants, up from 238 in 2006.  Below is information on some anticipated restaurant openings.

 Brownstoner recently blogged that development at 1210 Frankford seems to be moving again.  It sounds like it was anticipated to open last Summer.  Hopefully the wait won't be too much longer.

Some of the people associated with South Philly Taproom are opening a restaurant in the former Wander Inn building.  With a rumored OCF cafe at 20th and Federal, it looks like Grad Hospital development is heading South.  Brownstoner has extensive coverage on the progress.
