A healthy hotspot in Ardmore, a new brewery location in Drexel Hill, an American eatery in Ridley Park and more make the month delicious.
Funneling their creative energy into superfood bowls, Leanne DelVescovo and Alia Sobel have fully embraced a healthy, feel-good philosophy at Lentil & Co. Lentils are a nutritional powerhouse loaded with potassium, folate, iron and fiber and free of cholesterol and sodium. They’re also a low-glycemic carbohydrate known for making people happy and less anxious.
We couldn’t have been happier with our Cool Kid and Psychedelic bowls, packed with ingredients like quinoa, chopped kale, mushrooms and filet tips. Smooth but never overblended, the hummus is made in house daily. “We don’t feel the need to overdo recipes here,” says DelVescovo. “We let the ingredients speak for themselves.”
The partners have refreshed the former Juice Dr. location with a modern vibe and plenty of natural light. Menu pricing draws on angel numerology and its repetitive sequences of three or four numbers—but you don’t have to buy into the spiritual angle to appreciate the reasonable prices. Fresh-pressed juices, immunity shots, salads, avocado toasts, spiced nuts and plenty of vegan options make this spot a welcome addition to Ardmore’s Rittenhouse Row. Look for soups in chillier weather. 44 Rittenhouse Place, Ardmore, (484) 414-4917, lentilco.com.
