NOW SEATING
OCF Cafe | This Fairmount location (the home of Mug-shots, before they moved down the block; shown above) is the third shop for OCF, but the first with a full kitchen turning out freshly made breakfast and lunch items. Break-fast choices include tofu scrambles and cornflake-crusted French toast. Later in the day, choose from a selection of sandwiches and salad plates, like a hummus plate with chard and farro salad. There are plenty of options for vegans, and gluten-free bread is available. Beans come courtesy of Anodyne Coffee, a roaster out of Milwaukee. Hours: Mon.-Fri., 6:30 a.m.-9 p.m.; Sat.-Sun., 7:30 a.m.-9 p.m. 2100 Fairmount Ave., 267-773-8081, ocfcoffeehouse.com.
Gennaro’s Tomato Pie | The South Philly BYOB (from the operator of the late Lombardi’s in Rittenhouse) opened up just after the New Year, serving Trenton-style tomato pies — think a thin crust and an “upside-down” sauce-on-top configuration, not the thick-crust Sicilian-style slice more commonly dubbed Trenton around here. A few salads and comforting, homestyle desserts round out the menu, but the pie — red or white, whole ones only — is the unabashed star. Cash only. Hours: Wed.-Thu., 5-10 p.m.; Fri.-Sat., 5-11 p.m.; Sun., 5-10 p.m. 1429 Jackson St., 215-463-5070, gennarostomatopie.com.
The Foodery Roxborough | The setup of this new outpost will be familiar: a vast bottle selection with the option to mix your own six-pack, a deli serving up sandwiches, some specialty grocery items and beer tastings to help you explore. But the Northwest address allows for much more room to spread out; the Foodery v.3.0 opened with more than 700 bottles. Hours: Mon.-Thu., 10 a.m.-11 p.m.; Fri.-Sat., 10 a.m.-midnight; Sun., 11 a.m.-10 p.m. 6148 Ridge Ave., 215-482-4500, fooderybeer.com.
