| Are You Ready for Restaurant Week? |
| After a lovely, slowed-down August, things are starting to pick up around town. First up: Restaurant Week starts on Sunday, and we’ve got a few suggestions for places that still have open tables. Next, we are so excited that gourmet pizza-mania is finally hitting Philly that we rounded up details on a few parlors — including Stephen Starr’s new Pizzeria Stella — that will get you drooling. Restaurants just keep on opening, so we hit up some new spots for you (OK, and for us, too). And lastly, if you were one of the lucky few to survive Labor Day weekend feast-ivities without packing on poundage, you might be interested in this: Varga Bar is putting out a 2010 calendar of Varga Girls. Think you’ve got the goods? Get the details here. |

| In the weird world of drinking, September means Oktoberfest, and Foobooz has all the details on the celebrations at Brauhaus Schmitz; Le Bec is getting a head start on Restaurant Week; and there’s a new sports bar on Broad (yes, our sports-obsessed city still has a dearth of good sports bars.) |
| Where We’re Eating |
| Looking to mix it up? The Restaurant Club team has hit the streets to bring you our official word on four new spots — and whether they’re worth your money: Becca’s (Phoenixville) | Wine Thief (Mt. Airy) | Elevation Burger (Wynnewood) | Smokin’ Betty’s (Center City). |
