Pretty things at Philly Cupcake

Every Wednesday, Meal Ticket pokes around the food blog world to see what's simmering.

--Snaps man HughE Dillon visited Philly Cupcake just before they opened for business to share rainbow-hued shots of tiny cakes, the $10,000 chandelier and Isabella the be-frocked mannequin in the front window, all on Philly Chit Chat.

--Kleinsider has the menu for Zavino, upcoming at 13th & Sansom; he approves, deeming it "a brilliantly tight selection of easy-on-the-budget antipasti, a few hot dishes, and pizzas -- all befitting the snug space."

-- UWISHUNU solves your last-minute holiday shopping/drinking conundrum with details on Johnny Brenda's Holiday Bazaar this Saturday.

-- Neal of Burning Pasta will wear white shoes in winter if he pleases, thank you, and drink Campari all year long.� Reject seasonal restraints with his apertif-ready Eurorail Cocktail with Earl Gray and Grand Marnier.

-- The Illadelph reports that the Friends of Rittenhouse Square are looking for ways to monetize the city's swankest green space; first thing that they're thinking?� Permanent concessions.
