If you pay any attention to Phillyist’s Staff Page, then you may have noticed that I recently became the site’s Associate Editor. What this specifically means is that I’m working on increasing the Philly-based content on the site, in regards to both regular columns and special features. I’ve got a lot of ideas, as does the rest of the staff, but we create this site for our readers, so I want to know what YOU want to see, and what you think of what’s up here already.

Words can’t describe how excited we are to discover a new coffee shop that just sprouted up in just the right place – right across the street from a gym and smack dab on the bridge between University City and Rittenhouse Square. Owned and operated by two people who left corporate America in search of coffee wishes and chocolate truffle dreams, Mike Caro and Edna Cruz, The Walnut Bridge Coffee House http://www.walnutbridgecoffeehouse.com/ provides a selection of gourmet coffee, teas, chocolates and pastries in a universally comfortable setting.... A vast assortment of San Francisco-imported Joseph Schmidt truffles such as pecan praline, macadamia Jamaican rum and traditional all milk or all dark ($1.30 per gigantic piece) fill the display case while Droste Chocolate Pastilles ($3.75 per pack) can be found towards the back of the House and there are also chocolate croissants and chocolate milk.
