An early look at Irwin's, the bar/restaurant at the top of Bok
July 3 is the target for Irwin's, a cocktail bar/restaurant with a Mediterranean menu from chef Paul Garberson (ex-Fitler Dining Room, Trattoria Carina), coming to the eighth floor of the Bok Building in South Philly. It's on the other side of the roof from the enormously hot Bok Bar, at Eighth and Mifflin Streets.

Porta, 1216 Chestnut St.

One of my new go-to KAs is the cardamom-sugared lovely at Suraya (1528 Frankford Ave.), the gorgeous Lebanese café-market, bakery, and restaurant in Fishtown, which right now is making some of the city’s most beautiful pastries — French, but with a Levantine twist.

ICI Macarons & Café (230 Arch St.) in Old City is a hidden gem — they do fine croissants, as well as some excellent KAs.

The Kettle Black (631 N. Second St.) in Northern Liberties makes its standard croissants with Amish butter and has an airy vegan version that has seriously whirling layers inside. The French-owned J’Aime in the Gayborhood (212 S. 12th St.) is also legit.

Philly dining with view | Let's Eat
Philly's dining-with-a-view scene will be expanding by two in coming weeks. I rode the elevators for the details. Also this week, I share word of a pan-Asian standout in Chinatown, return to a Rittenhouse favorite, and tip you to what might be Philly's most decorated burger. Craig LaBan, meanwhile, shares his favorite croissants.

When Attico opens, at 219 S. Broad Street, it will seat around 140, with about a third of those seats outside for al fresco eating and drinking. The name means attic in Italian, but the menu leans Mediterranean and contemporary American.

Two New Rooftop Restaurants Are Opening in Philly Very Soon
Attico, the new rooftop restaurant coming to the Cambria hotel on Broad Street in Center City, is shooting for a mid-July opening. The owners were originally hoping to have it ready for June 18, just ahead of the hotel's grand opening event on June 20, but construction delays revised the timeline.
