Paradiso, the stylish spot that spurred a mini restaurant renaissance in South Philly, is branching out this spring. Owner Lynn Rinaldi is currently renovating a space just up the Avenue at the corner of East Passyunk and Tasker that will be home to a yet-to-be-named Japanese BYOB. (With sake lockers available.)

Executive chef Corey Baver’s menu will focus on sushi, plus tempura and other Japanese items from the kitchen. Meanwhile Baver’s brother, Scott, a brew master for Legacy Brewing Co. in Reading, Pa., is planning a ginger-infused beer for the new restaurant. Since it will be a BYOB, customers will be treated to a complimentary glass of the brew with dinner.
