In the latest, tea-rific edition of In & Out: Tea House Cafe is replacing Mr. Wish at 2102 Walnut to make sure we are appropriately caffeinated!
We passed by earlier this week to check out the menu but the store was still closed as they were busy redecorating. So they may be open by now.

The Raven Lounge has been part of the neighborhood since 2007. Nothing online notes that they're closed but they haven't been open for a bit.

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: The #rittenhouse Taco Bell Cantina, sorry, Taco Bell rather, is moving along!
The space has been empty since 2020, when Chestnut Diner was open for a hot minute, after 4 Seasons Food Court closed, so it'll be nice to see it occupied.
ETA is this summer!
