• Parc gets two solid bells from LaBan in Sunday’s Inquirer. It’s crowded and noisy, which all makes sense given pretty, pretty Parisian looks of the place. And hey, guess what? The food is pretty good too.
• Feeling the pinch, but not willing to sacrifice decent wine? LaBan to the rescue with a recommendation for a ten buck bottle of Spanish wine! Still — if only Trader Joe’s wine were a viable option.
• Believe it or not, but East Passyunk is fancying up, at least dining-wise. One of the more recent additions to the stretch is Izumi, a slick little Japanese spot. The chef has made the Starr rounds (Pod, Buddakan, and Morimoto) and the food mostly shows it.
