Restaurant Paparazzi

Where one gelateria ends, a seasonal American BYOB begins... Food & Drinq had the tip on Nicholas a few weeks back. Looks like they're all moved into the stone-and-Stucco Pennsport storefront that last housed Best of Philly winner Caffe Carmen. (Sorry for the lack of interior snaps; all the windows were covered with pesky wood blinds.) With Ugly American and Peppercorns, Nicholas marks the third new resto that will open in Pennsport in so many months.

Ugly American

No, no, not Bill Belichik (though seriously, bro those cut-off hoodies ain't workin' for ya). We're talking Pennsport's mantastic new saloon, Ugly American, a warm, cozy place that does double duty on game-day and date-night. Check it out in this week's PW. House baker Carla Goncalves, wife of exec chef David Gilberg, does buttermilk biscuits that will change your life.
