There's talk all over this section about what new businesses are opening up in Fishtown, where specifically and when--thought we could share it all here.

Let's see--I know there's at cheese/produce market--where is that and when is it?

The New Wave Cafe offshoot. Where/when?

The Comic Store...

What else?

There will be a coffee/pastry/internet access cafe at Columbia & Girard. It looks like it should open any day now.

Just to clarify...

This place isn't an offshoot of the New Wave...one of the owners used to work there, but has since left to start the new place.

It's going to be in the Forks location (Susquehanna & Norris, I think), and last I heard there was some delay over the sale because of a lawsuit pending against the current owners. Dunno when it will officially open, but Robert (ex-New Wave) said he hopes for this month. Of course, that estimate came last month, so who knows.

It looked open yesterday. Has anyone been? Looks a little mother earthy from my quick driveby.

I finally went in Rocket Cat on Frankford/Norris. Great breakfast items. Super cool inside--very nice remodel. The girl behind the counter was very friendly--said they have a little "unofficial" patio seating behind. I'll have to go back for some coffee.
