Quick bites

Two items of note:
1. Replying to a previous post about LoBaidos, Amanda shared that LoBaidos and the chef Bernie moved to an industrial park across from St. Lukes North. His new place is called Bernardo's. Anyone been?
2. I was notified last night that Four Aces on 13th and Hamilton had a soft opening. I was unable to make it, but hope to stop by soon to try the various exotic meats and other foods. If you want to try it and save some cash (who doesn't these days?), I found a $3 coupon on line.

Happy eating this weekend. I'll be doing a little damage at Musikfest, where the ethnic food selection is a little disappointing. Best bet for authentic food: Holy Infancy near Plaza Tropical for outstanding Portuguese.

Any word on anything going on at the former Sal's site on Allen and 19th?

Unfortunately, nothing definitive. I know the city has helped give several tours of the facility to restaurateurs, some from the Lehigh Valley, some from outside the Valley. I'm hoping that the addition of the West Side Diner and the to-be-named bistro at TC Salon will help build additional momentum for the area as a dining destination. (Disclosure: I am president of the West End Alliance, which is dedicated to the resurgence of the West End business district in which the Sal's property resides.)

Re: Bernardo's

Is St. Luke's North off of 512? Does anyone know the hours? Or if it's open already? I miss Bernie's cooking. Thanks.

I'm assuming that's the location, Sarina. Let me know if you make it up there.

Yucca Fries @ Musikfest! Put a little Saracha on them, they are amazing.

Did you catch the update on the former LoBaido's site on the 7th Street blog? Morton's is now open. No review yet.
