Golosa is picking up where this space’s former tenants, Dessert, left off. A menu of slightly more adventurous offerings now tempts the ever-larger after-dinner crowd. (Golosa doesn’t open until 4 most days, but serves until 11.) Settle into the crushed blue velvet chairs for a rich — but not-too-sweet — coffee concoction like the vanilla-and-spice Caffè Creolo and taste your way from Madagascar to Venezuela with a global chocolate sampler or indulge in the homier Torta alla Carota — carrot cake with cream cheese icing.
The Philadelphia Wine Festival is back for its 9th year! This premier tasting event boasts nearly 200 fine wineries from around the world. May 8. Philadelphia Marriott Downtown.
