Weekend: White Dog Returns and Pizza Brain Turns One


Friday

The White Dog Cafe in Wayne has reopened after an August 1st fire. The delay was related to a new ventilation shaft that needed to be installed.

We were a little disappointed to learn that Grizacca wasn’t named for a Power Ranger but we’re still excited to try this collaboration beer.

Congrats to Drink Philly which turns three today. They’re celebrating at the Arden Theater tonight and you’re invited.

Pizzeria Vetri is now open. We’ll race you to 20th and Callowhill.

The Philadelphia FringeArts Festival has kicked off which means dozens of events each night. A truly overwhelming affair, which is probably why we always wind up going to the Late Night Cabaret at Underground Arts.

Saturday

Pizza Brain turns one this weekend and they are celebrating with a street festival.

It’s also Second Sunday in Chestnut Hill and that’s all about the brunch as well. Check out who’s offering the best meal of the week.

Little Nonna’s is open and seems ideal for an Italian Sunday dinner.
