IN PRINT: City Paper Food and Restaurants, Jan. 1

This week's edition of City Paper hit the streets a day early — it's out now!

- The centerpiece of this week's food section is my roundup of some of 2008's biggest bar and restaurant openings. (Of course, it wasn't possible to mention every single spot, so if you think I glossed over something, please feel free to speak up in the comments.) Sure, Jose Garces (Distrito) and Michael Solomonov (Zahav) cranked out the most high-profile restaurants of the year, but there was also surprisingly growth in many areas, from the tried-and-true (Mexican) to the underserved-till-now (Indian).

- David Snyder visits Clark Newman's Lucky 13, a new pub down on 13th and Passyunk. He finds that chef Ben Johnson, late of Plough and the Stars, is cooking some inspired grub, from a vegan sandwich named after a Motorhead classic to a smart, sustainable seafood choice like bluefish.

- Over in Feeding Frenzy Land, I've got news on Local 44 (opens tomorrow at 5 p.m.!), some details on restaurateur Marty Grims' plans at 20th and Market, info on the Mugshots expansion and word of new treats at Crispy Sweetie.

- Nikki Volpicelli wants you to start the '09 correctly with this week's What's Cooking lineup. Sunday Supper at Supper? Firkin tap at the Standard? A Bucks County booze 'n' blues fest? Update your Google calendars accordingly.
