<p>If there’s one thing this city knows, it’s pasta</p> <p id="vxvWqt">Philadelphia’s fondness for Italian cuisine runs deep, be it at a white-tablecloth restaurant or homey red-sauce joint. Over the years, the city’s love affair with these pasta palaces has gotten national attention — Italian food in Philly is just that good.</p>
<p id="SNtUJw">Some of these places are tried-and-true Philadelphia institutions that have been around for more than a century, while others are relative newcomers that have carved out a spot for themselves with creative modern takes amid stiff competition. Either way, you can’t miss the pasta, gravy, meat, and seafood at these essential Italian restaurants.</p>

<p id="CVBK2v">On Tuesday, March 19th, <a href="https://cloudcupsgelato.com/">Cloud Cups</a> is opening its doors at their first-ever flagship location in Kensington at MaKen Studios North (3525 I Street). The 2,000 square feet gelato shop that accommodates 50 customers has a lounge, retail section, and an upcoming gelato-making workshop. The “cloud” design aesthetic features dreamy floors painted by Raheem Spataccino and colorful murals by famed graphic artist <a href="https://www.instagram.com/justin_richburg/">Justin Richburg</a>. </p>

<p id="QtD3Ei">For West Oak Lane native and owner Galen Thomas, a graduate of Frozen Dessert University in North Carolina and the Carpigiani Gelato University in Illinois, this moment is “next level” after previously launching Cloud Cups as a scoop truck and pop-up spot at various locations across Philly since 2019. </p>
<p id="ilgR3X">“This has been a journey that started as an experiment in trying to make gelato a CBD edible to now a brick-and-mortar with over 150 tested flavors,” Thomas says on being in the gelato industry for five years. “To now see this become a flagship location that will host tastings, events, parties, retail, and more is a dream come true.”</p>

<p id="UBMK0Q">“I’m so grateful for so many people who’ve helped me along the way, especially Charisse,” Thomas says of the late Charisse McGill of French Toast Bites, <a href="https://philly.eater.com/2024/1/18/24041431/french-toast-bites-charisse-mcgill-dead">who suddenly passed away</a> in January. “She helped expand my business at a time when we were trying to grow, and I’m making several flavors at my shop in honor of her legacy.”</p>

<p id="beWClX">Cloud Cups features a rotating variation of 36 flavors of gelato and sorbet (from 150 of their tested and perfected options), along with waffle cones made in-house that include several different flavors. They have traditional and experimental flavors of sorbet (such as passion fruit, berry mafia, piña colada, pineapple grape, soursop), gelato (such as vanilla chocolate, orange creamsicle, brown sugar cinnamon pop tart, and salted caramel), and non-dairy and vegan gelatos (such as pistachio with saffron and rose water, non-dairy white coffee, and butterfly pea vanilla). </p>
<p id="fYerXP">In remembering McGill, Thomas created two special flavors that incorporate French Toast Bites (French Toast Bites gelato strawberry and French Toast Bites gelato strawberry stracciatella). There’s also two additional local Black-owned spots that inspired some of the flavors at Cloud Cups: Two favors in collaboration with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/philacheesecake/?hl=en">the Cheesecake Lady</a> from Elkins Park (non-dairy butterfly pea vanilla and red velvet cheesecake) and another from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bean2beancoffeeco/?hl=en">Bean 2 Bean Coffee Company</a> (non-dairy white coffee).</p>

<p id="OuxRgo">Customers can also partake in purshasing some specialty Cloud Cups merchandise in the retail section of their shop. Several graphic t-shirts designed by Troy Shirts are for sale, along with Cloud Cups gelato-scented candles made by Thomas’ fiancée Victoria Pickens of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/realignd.co/?hl=en&img_index=1">reALIGNd.co</a>. The candles, which are made with apricot coconut creme wax and natural fragrance oils, include the scented flavors of limoncello, strawberries & cream, cereal milk, mint chocolate chip, and waffle cone — flavors that are sold at the shop. </p>

<p id="yvRTmQ">In April, Cloud Cups plan to launch gelato-making workshops for customers on location. Over the weekend, I was the first to test the concept with Thomas. An original flavor we created on site was Irish cookies and cream — a boozy ode to St. Patrick’s Day that’s made with Bailey’s Irish Coffee and Oreos. The sweet and creamy gelato will be exclusively sold during their grand opening week. </p>

<p id="39Y1Cl">Currently, Thomas plans to “collaborate and raise up” other minority-owned businesses every month with a focus on BIPOC businesses/chefs along with women-owned businesses, LGBTQIA businesses, Asian and other voices that he believes “need to be raised up and supported.”</p>
<p id="8tid1V">For those who can’t wait until its flagship location opening, some flavors are also available for purchase via Uber Eats, Door Dash, and nationwide shipment <a href="https://cloudcupsgelato.com/">on their website</a>. </p>

<p>These meals are over $120 per person with additional prices — and quality — going up, up, up</p> <p id="UN6HUA">Though Philadelphia is known for being more affordable than many major cities, if the occasion calls for a decadent, splurge-worthy meal, it doesn’t disappoint. Some of the best options for a seriously indulgent dinner include sophisticated steakhouses, an Italian landmark, and hidden sushi counters. In the post-pandemic world, many restaurants have shifted to offering pricier prix fixe menus only, which means that this map has grown, but so has the quality of your dinner. The meals below don’t come cheap — food, drinks, and tip can easily run $500 and up for two — but if you’re looking to celebrate or impress, the experience is worth it.</p>

<p id="B0gqLA">This week, <a href="https://www.twentyonepips.com/">Twenty One Pips</a> is reimagining itself in Ardmore (24 Cricket Avenue) to the public at large with major changes to its aesthetic design, programming, and food & drink menu. Diners can now expect a new “gaming lounge” with cozier and more colorful furniture, along with over 400 new games to play (such as four new heirloom crokinole boards in the lounge) and some available to purchase on location. They also have a lead “gametender” who also serves as “the game whisperer” for diners who are looking for a personal concierge to assist them during play.</p>
<p id="lP8Ym0">Twenty One Pips first opened its doors at One Ardmore Place in 2022 by owner Matt Hendricks. As part of their revival, Chef John E. Taus of JET Hospitality has now joined the team to expand their culinary options — another change that Hendricks says gives diners and game enthusiasts alike “the best of all worlds.”</p>

<p id="qgyB9J">“When guests come through our doors, we want to offer them the best of all worlds — great food, quality cocktails, ample spirit free beverages, hundreds of new games and elite vibes,” Hendricks says on revamping the concept. “With the help from friend and colleague Chef John Taus of Jet Hospitality, we have elevated our food game to include a new menu of must-try dishes.”</p>
<p id="2ZdP4B">“For board game fans, we are raising the bar of the entire experience with a new posh game lounge, upgrades to the space, hundreds of new games and our gametenders to help customers pick out games, learn the rules and even discuss game strategy,” Hendricks added. “I like to think of the gametender as the Main Line’s only concierge for gamers. Their focus is on ensuring guests don’t have to navigate confusing rules so everyone can get straight to having a great time.”</p>

<p>These exceptional spots serve the halal cuisines of Pakistan, Ethiopia, Turkey, and beyond</p> <p id="NvMA5W">Philly is home to a treasure trove of restaurants that cater to halal dietary restrictions while covering a broad range of cuisines from Pakistan, Turkey, Mediterranean, East Africa, and beyond. One might try falafel from a casual Lebanese restaurant in West Philly, Samarkand Plov from one of the rare Uzbekistan restaurants in the region, and beef rendang curry in South Philly.</p>
<p id="Pl4KyN">Here’s a look at 15 excellent local restaurants with halal-friendly menus. Note that halal restaurants in the United States may seek certification from one of several organizations — or may decide against certification but self-report the use of only, or some, halal ingredients — so it’s best to check directly with a restaurant to confirm whether its menu meets your needs.</p>

<p>Highlights include Malaysian cuisine, crunchy fried chicken, French seafood, and much, much more</p> <p id="dy8Wav">Around this time, before you can get enough winter, spring arrives. While that appears to be nothing short of bittersweet — at least in Philly — there are plenty of things to anticipate for spring 2024 — and that includes incredible dining and sipping. There’s lots of new restaurants, bars, and cafes opening in Philly this upcoming season, so the following list includes only a select few of the ones we’re looking forward to (but you only come here for the best of the best, right). So it’s about time you start revisiting your Resy, Tock, and OpenTable accounts and plan your future reservations ahead of time. Don’t worry, your favorite mainstays are still around — but an even more exciting spring is officially here.</p>
