Here’s a tip for Kevin Sbraga, Spike Mendelsohn, Stephen Simons and anyone else in search of a location for a restaurant: Go North Broad, young restaurateurs. That’s the area former Inky columnist Rick Nichols told Zagat Buzz would be the city’s next Restaurant Row. While fielding questions about food traditions, where to find the best Negroni and how the food and restaurant scene here has evolved since he first climbed aboard the Inquirer back in 1978, Nichols calls North Broad the “next hot food neighborhood.” Citing Osteria and forthcoming projects from Marc Vetri and Stephen Starr, he predicts a virtual “restaurant explosion” between the Inquirer building and Temple University.
