Red Poke Is Open in Society Hill — And More Intel

— Red Poke just opened at 2nd and South Streets, in what was most recently an OCF Coffee House, reports Philly Chit Chat. The menu includes 10 poke bowls, build-your-own options (“Poke Your Way”), miso soup, and burritos that look like a cross between sushi and a burrito. Hours are 11 a.m-9:30 p.m. Sunday to Thursday and until 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. There’s no delivery yet, but take-out is available (and can be ordered ahead online). It’s not affiliated with Red Poke in New York City. [PhillyChitChat]

Angeline joins Bobby Flay Steak, Wolfgang Puck American Grille, and Izakaya, from Michael Schulson (Sampan, Double Knot, Harp & Crown), in the Borgata’s lineup.

Kory Aversa

— Teddy Sourias is opening Tradesman’s, a big, bi-level restaurant focusing on craft beer, whiskey, and barbecue, at 1322 Chestnut Street, next to his Bru Craft & Wurst and U-Bahn. Tradesman’s takes over a property that dates back to 1906 and, while the building has been gutted, some of the details are being preserved, like the ceiling reliefs. Sourias is hoping for a late 2017/early 2018 opening.

— Rich Landau and Kate Jacoby of Vedge and V Street are going for a June 1 opening for Wiz Kid, their vegan cheesesteak shop next to V Street in Rittenhouse. Wiz Kid will also serve two other sandwiches, salads, and a short list of beer, wine, and cocktails. V Street stops lunch service at the end of this week and adds Monday dinner starting May 15.
