LOVE Park has been transformed into The Christmas Village for the 7th year in a row. In the style of a traditional, open-air German Christmas Market, huts of crafts and snacks are open daily until Sunday, December 28th. While its around, we might as well take advantage of the quick and unique lunch offerings, tis the season.
Recently, Yummy Lan Zhou on 10th street rebranded to Spice C, a bit hipper and also less similar in name to the nearby famous Nan Zhou. This rebranding comes with soups that you can order at the “flirting” hot level as well as tshirts (the uniform and available for purchase) that say “love is getting fat together, so lets eat more.”
The menu is largely similar, with some new dishes. More are on the way in the upcoming weeks along with a remodeling of the interior.

Today Luncher John is checking out the only Brazilian food truck in town
Think of Brazil and what comes to mind: warm beaches, world class soccer, festive celebrations, barbecue. Don’t feel like traveling all the way to the Southern Hemisphere (or shelling out over $50 at one of the city’s Brazilian steakhouses) for the experience? Have no fear, as the BrazBQ food truck brings a little bit of Brazil to the streets of Philadelphia.

A bit over a month ago, Nam Son on Washington Avenue changed owners and became Huong Tram. The menu is still Vietnamese, though slightly downsized from the seemingly infinite selection of the former menu. The space is a bit remodeled but you can still enter from either 16th Street or through the shopping plaza on Washington. The adjacent bakery is still under the Nam Son name.
