One of the most consistently exciting aspects of the Philadelphia's current dining scene is its propensity to never slow down or grow stale. Here's our regularly occurring rundown of restaurant opening buzz:Native Philadelphia chef Joshua Lawler, along with his wife, Colleen Lawler, will be debuting what will certainly be one of the city's most talked about new farm-to-table restaurants,
The Farm and Fisherman, at 1120 Pine Street. Most recently the chef de cuisine for
Blue Hill at Stone Barns in New York State, Lawler's first solo venture will be sustainably sourced, as he plans to develop relationships with area farmers and New Jersey fisherman.
Other new area cafes and eateries worth investigating include Plenty, a
Tim McGinnis-helmed prepared-foods deli that will feature cold cuts and both lunch and dinner options to-go. It's scheduled to open Feb. 1 on the ever-evolving East Passyunk strip.
Meanwhile, the recently opened
Elixr Coffee, in Center City, is the newest entrant to Philly's community of coffee shops that take the sourcing and preparation of espresso beans incredibly seriously. Elixr's drop-dead gorgeous interior design makes a visit worthwhile all by itself, as does the
PT's Coffee and
Marathon Grill sandwiches currently on offer.
