- Adam Erace forges his way through deep South Philly "Cannoli Alley," if you will and lands a seat at Sky Café, a family-run Indonesian eatery at 15th and Ritner. After multiple visits he's left thoroughly impressed by chef Lily Tjia's "startlingly complex" soups and noodle dishes. - It's been more than 20 years since CP staff writer Isaiah Thompson left the heavily Mexican neighborhood of Pilsen in his hometown of Chicago, but he's never forgotten the fresh-pressed tortillas. Lucky for him, then, that he's found the Italian Market's Tortilleria y San Roman, where the Rivera family cranks out calentitas just for Philly. - What's Cooking is stuffed with food/drink picks for those of us staying in Philly over the long Labor Day Weekend. Oyster House, Johnny Brenda's, Supper and several other spots have special stuff going on, so take advantage. - Details on three new openings Barbuzzo, Berry Sweet and PBandU in Feeding Frenzy.
