Traditional main dishes at lunch are $9 to $15. Dinner entrees start at $19. Top price last weekend ($33) was a dish called meat and potatoes: tastes of grilled tenderloin with potato cream; braised short ribs with honey mashed potatoes; and seared Kobe tartar with potato crisps, all on one plate.
Honey has an all-American wine list and an all-Pennsylvania beer list, plus a few signature cocktails.
What's new
Davide and Kathryn Faenza of South Philly's L'Angolohave just opened
Salento, a rustic, white-tablecloth BYO with specialties from his Puglian roots, at 2216 Walnut St. (215-568-1314). Top entree: mixed grill for $24. It's open Tuesdays through Sundays for dinner.
Guinness now flows at St. Stephens Green (1701 Green St., 215-769-5000), the Irish pub owned by James Stephens of Black Sheep and Jeff Keel of Bishop's Collar. The old Cuvee Notredame has been carved into lively dining rooms and cozy nooks; it's open daily for lunch and dinner with a wide-ranging menu.
Franco Faggi, one of the original partners at Monte Carlo Living Room, has just opened Franco's Trattoria, a modern, seafood-centric Italian in the space off Kelly Drive that last housed Verge (address is alternately listed as 4116 Ridge Ave. or 4101 Kelly Drive; 215-438-4848). Everything on the menu is priced under $20, except for specials (veal chop, branzino). For now, it's dinner only and closed Mondays, but hours will expand into lunch. Bar features the usual, plus the Italian beer Moretti on tap.
