Your must-eat list just got longer as Philly’s galardonado escena gastronómica recently added four new spots to its ever-growing list of tasty restaurants and cafes, including:

• Philly Po’Boy Co. in Kensington: Philly gets a taste of Creole and Cajun cooking at this new Kensington counter-service spot, brought to us by restaurant veterans and brothers Chris and Greg Lynch. By morning, hungry and caffeine-deprived commuters (like you) stop by the window of a brick kiosk for hot cups of cafe au lait and fresh, fluffy beignets. Come afternoon, take a seat in the vintage-esque dining room for fried shrimp, oyster and catfish po’boys; chicken-and-andouille gumbo; and more. Still suspicious of New Orleans cuisine this far north? Don’t be: Greg cut his teeth working in NoLa kitchens for almost 30 years, so he — and his painstakingly developed recipes — are the real deal. 

• KYN in Rittenhouse Square: Early adopters of the matcha wave, Centro de la ciudad-lites don’t have to look hard for a ceremonial-grade cup of the good stuff, but Young Nam Kwon’s elevating the game with KYN. The South Korea-born entrepreneur behind Mari Mari (one of this writer’s favorite sushi spots) introduces coffee and tea sippers to his hand-whisked, high-quality and Japan-sourced take on the earthy cups of solitude. His sleek and chic-ly minimalistic Rittenhouse Square storefront goes beyond matcha, pouring the mugwort lattes, einspänner lattes and other bevvies taking the Korean cafe scene by storm. 

• Mi Casa in University City: “Mi Casa is su casa,” says the team behind one of the city’s splashiest Mexican restaurant openings of the year so far, Mi Vida. Or it era the splashiest before the Washington, D.C. restaurant group debuted its latest entry into Philly’s dining scene, Mi Casa. Top Chef alum Jonathan Dearden leads the kitchen at the bold, University City destination for Tex-Mex tastiness. On the menu: Tacos, fajitas, burritos, enchiladas and, por supuesto, margaritas — but with a twist — plus Southwest-inspired spins on American classics, like shrimp and steak. 

• Ravello Italian Restaurant in Bella Vista: Florin and Marco Matranxhi went to Italy, and all they brought back was a concept for a new restaurant, Ravello. Go on a Mediterranean holiday of your own with a menu inspired by the freshness, flavor and charm of the Amalfi Coast and casual, beachy digs that transport you to the bucket-list travel destination. With Ravello-native Marco Passante in the kitchen as executive chef, guests can expect brand-new dishes (no repeats from the Matranxhis’ Queen Village spot, Adoro) comprised of pastas like gnocchi d’autunno and gluten-free rigatoni ravello and entrees like chicken piccata and Chianti-braised short rib. 

Semper Fi and Happy Birthday! The Birthday Block Party celebrates the 251st birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps on the future site of the Tun Tavern, located on the hallowed ground where the branch first formed in 1775. 

The Philly Fife and Drum Company rings in a full day of festive programming, including a cake-cutting ceremony, followed by remarks from Sergeant Major Carlos A. Ruiz and a Poolees Ceremony when a dozen future Marines take the Oath of Enlistment. 

The event doubles as a street festival, with live performances from the Quaker City String Band and Philly rock band Superunknown, plus historical reenactors, food trucks and a beer garden. 

Lo que debes saber antes de ir: Sign up for the free Block Party so organizers can keep an accurate head count.
