Wash Westers can stalk the corner of 10th and Spruce Streets the week of April 21 for the opening of Kanella, the BYO from Konstantinos Pitsillides, who says he's simply going to open the doors and start cooking.

Notice the construction project on the plot of land bounded by 16th Street, Ben Franklin Parkway and Cherry Street -- pretty much between the Phoenix (which has a Starbucks) and the Mexican Post?
It's going to be a coffeeshop-slash-tourist-info center this summer.
Talk is that this will be the new location of Capriccio, which closed last week in the Warwick after it lost its lease. Through a rep, owner David Wagaman had nothing to say. A spokeswoman for the Center City District, which is behind the construction, said a tenant had not been signed.
