At long last, Jollibee — the Filipino fast food chain serving buckets of fried chicken, spaghetti, peach mango pies, burgers, and more — is open on Bustleton Avenue in the Northeast. The drive-thru chain is a cult favorite, and now, with this addition to Philly, we can be proud to say we’ve got the only Jollibee in the state of Pennsylvania.

The best restaurants tend to be collaborations between passionate people, and at Tulip Pasta and Wine Bar, it’s like the Marvel Cinematic Universe but for Philly restaurants. Chefs Jason Cichonski and Alex Beninato partnered with brothers Zachary and James Wilson of Wayvine Winery in Nottingham, PA to bring diners fresh pasta made with stone-ground flour and the perfect wines to match. Reservations can be made on Resy.

La Chingonita — the beloved roving Mexican food truck run by chefs Rebecca Baez and Omar Martinez — has found a permanent home on Girard Avenue where, if you catch them during the daytime lunch hours, Baez and Martinez will serve you carnitas tacos, tortas, and conchas that will change your life. Keep a lookout on social media — the menu changes often.

In a cozy spot on North 2nd Street, vegan and carnivore diners alike will enjoy Ian Graye’s excellent seasonal, thoughtful, and beautifully curated menu. Dishes like delicata squash with black walnut dukkah and faux ricotta are so tenderly handled that Graye and his team successfully show off the true flavors of their produce, which isn’t always easy. It’s BYOB.

There are few things better than the combination of bread and cheese, and at Saami Somi — the new Georgian stall at Reading Terminal Market — the pairing achieves new heights. That’s because Saami Somi serves khachapuri, the Georgian bread boat made with salty, melted cheese and topped with a cracked egg. Don’t forget to order khinkali dumplings, too.

Berbere-spiced fried chicken battered in gluten-free teff flour is the draw at the new fast casual restaurant Doro Bet on Baltimore Avenue. Chef Mebruka Kane is adding a twist to the Ethiopian restaurant scene in West Philly, with sides of collared greens and Addis fries to go with half or whole chickens.

We Philadelphians tend to raise an eyebrow at any New York export that decides to make its second home in Philly, but at Paulie Gee’s Soul City Slice Shop, no side-eyeing is necessary. That’s because pizza from Paulie Gee’s is a dream no matter where you get it — see the Freddy Prinze, an upside-down Sicilian pie with a sesame seed bottom — and at Philly’s new outpost, you can pay pool while eating pies until 2 a.m. on the weekends.

In the space that formerly held Fitz and Starts, Fitz on 4th is a new destination in Queen Village for vegan tapas and exciting cocktails. Think cashew ricotta with garlic focaccia or jackfruit sliders with house-made cheese sauce, and cocktails like the Mason’s Garden, made with gin, cucumber, basil, and lemon. Sunday brunch is also an option.

For a few hours every morning (save for Monday and Tuesday), diners on East Passyunk Avenue can pick up breakfast tacos from Taco Heart, the brick-and-mortar taco spot from pop-up taco mastermind Nano Wheedan. Wheedan makes the flour tortillas that enrobe refried pinto beans, chorizo, eggs, and avocados (among other ingredients), and they’re all recipes inspired by his time living in Austin, Texas. You can preorder online up to a week in advance online.

In the Italian Market, a new arepa spot is open for business, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner arepas to be eaten in or taken to-go.

Everyone’s favorite pop-up ice cream purveyor has finally opened its first brick and mortar on East Passyunk, and even if it’s already fall, ice cream is good all year. The new storefront will sell pints, scoops, and cups in flavors like tahini fudge swirl; cold brew and caramelized cacao nibs; and lemon curd with blueberry basil swirl. Vegan and non-dairy options are also available.
