NOW SEATING

Café L'Aube | Jean-Luc Fanny, who opened his first Cafe L'Aube at 1512 South St. two years ago, has added a Fairmount location. Situated on the corner of 17th and Wallace, the pretty café (above) has more seating room than its older brother, but it offers the same menu of sweet and savory crepes and sandwiches; this spot, however, serves Liège waffles, which are denser and chewier than the fluffier Brussels style Fanny does on South. The coffee beans are roasted by Fanny himself. More on Meal Ticket. 1631 Wallace St.

Good Karma Café | In other second-spot news, Good Karma's David Arrell has expanded with a new location near Ninth and Pine. Joining the original at 331 S. 22nd, this café is more than twice the size of its predecessor and features a quiet area for study or meetings. Same food/coffee approach, but Arrell plans on expanding his offerings a bit here since he has the added room (they'll be making their own sandwiches and salads in-house by spring). Same hours as the original: daily, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. 928 Pine St., 267-519-8860, thegoodkarmacafe.com.

B.B. Go Fusion Rice Bar | Open for about a month at 18th and Ludlow, B.B. Go is a quick-serve restaurant specializing in bibimbap, the Korean rice/veggie dish that can be had with everything from marinated beef to tofu and seasoned seaweed. The eatery also offers dubbap dishes (steamed rice topped with chicken, short rib, pork, etc.) and apps like seafood pancakes and japchae (stir-fried noodles). More on Meal Ticket. Hours: Mon.-Fri., 11 a.m.- 9 p.m.; Sat., noon- 8 p.m. 20 S. 18th St., 215-569-3905, bbgorestaurant.com.

LITTLE VITTLES

Le Pain Quotidien looks to open its first Philly location at 1423-25 Walnut before the end of the year.

Here's to Philly's Marc Vetri, who defeated Michael Symon in a veal battle on an episode of Food Network's Iron Chef America on Sunday. Catch a re-airing tonight at 9 and midnight; and Saturday night at 5 and 11.
