I’ve been hearing rumors for a while, but finally got some confirmation that Bryn Mawr’s Bianca has closed. After some initial growing pains, Bianca showed some potential, but in the end failed to provide a dining experience worthy of the cost, especially with so many excellent BYOBs in the area. Original chef Dominic Filoni, who […]

Just saw a sign for this place, in the same building as Devon Lanes, claiming the “Best Breakfast on the Main Line”. I’ve never noticed this restaurant before, so I’m not sure if it’s new or not. Anyone have any info? (300 W Lancaster Ave., Devon (610) 254-9402)
Is MilkBoy the next Point? While there is still no word from Point Entertainment about a new venue for their great coffee-shop performances, MilkBoy quietly opened in February at 2 E. Lancaster Ave. in Ardmore (610-645-5269). It’s a 100-seat place serving coffee and the typical coffee-shop sweets and sandwiches menu. A visit to their smartly […]
Christopher Hora, whose resume includes Spago in LA, has signed on as Executive Chef at Coyote Crossing. The new menu concept is “Global Mexican”. I’m not sure exactly what that means, but a sample menu includes “Blue Fin Tuna and Cactus Apple Ceviche” and “Free Range Boneless Beef Short Ribs en Mole Azteca”. Either way, […]
Some non-food news: The Main Line’s own Psychic Susan Samans (of Y100 fame) has her own TV show premiering on TLC this week, called “The Psychic Next Door”, at 1:30 each afternoon. Set your DVRs!
I tried Herr’s “Philly Cheese Steak” Potato Chips for the first time today. They are one of four new flavors from local the local company along with “Buffalo Wing”, “Honey Mustard” and “Sweet Island”, and fit nicely alongside Herr’s “Ketchup” flavor chips in the strange flavor canon. The chips themselves taste mostly like, well, potato […]
There have been a lot of rumors about the new bar next to Teresa’s — are they blowing out the wall, is it a “beer bar”, or what? Well, Mike from Teresa’s was kind enough to write in and set the record straight: “Just a clarification on the concept at the old F&H paint store […]
Thanks to a tip from Deane, we’ve learned that a new upscale bar will be opening in the spot that formerly housed Vivo Enoteca. It will feature new American cuisine and be in the same vein as Northern Liberties’ N. 3rd. Sounds fun — hopefully the food will be better than Christopher’s!
Paoli’s La Voce has been “closed for renovations”, according to a sign. Strange thing is, they just started promoting WOW – Wine on Wednesday (via the same sign), where every bottle under $50 was half off on Wednesdays. Although I’ve never actually been to La Voce, I can’t really mourn the loss. Seemed like a […]
