IN PRINT: City Paper Food and Restaurants, March 8

- With its pretty DIY aesthetic, The Pickled Heron is easily Fishtown's best-looking restaurant, writes Adam Erace. But how does the food from chefs Todd Braley and Daniela D'Ambrosio stack up? The dishes he does like, including their creative updates on classics, show promise, but other issues need to be buttoned up.

- Harry Baker, aka "Bakeowski," has been organizing Philly events commemorating Charles Bukowski's March 9 death day for the past three years. In 2012, he's borrowed Occupy tactics to bolster a full day of heavy drinking in honor of one of the great alcoholics in literary history.

- In What's Cooking: bourbon and raw chocolate at 1 Shot, stouts like crazy at Johnny Brenda's, a local pastamaking class and more.

- In Agenda: Preview of a March 13 reading with Philly author Michael Levy, whose new book Kosher Chinese chronicles a Jewish guy's time spent living and eating in China. Price of admission includes a glatt kosher Chinese meal.
