If you’re not sure what a “knock box” is, it’s the bin where the grounds of your espresso shot get discarded after it's been served to you with oat milk and a shot of hazelnut. It's also the punny name of the coffee shop at 45th and Osage streets that is a site for not only chai lattes and bagels, but a bonding space for community artists and businesses.
On a Friday afternoon before closing for Friday prayers, Saad’s Halal Restaurant is packed with hungry customers. Located at 45th and Walnut streets, Saad’s Halal Restaurant is a little far from Penn’s central campus, but the food is certainly worth the longer walk.
Tucked away on a corner in Kensington, a block away from one of the last train stops on the MFL SEPTA line, sits a vibrant and relaxing coffee shop. Càphê Roasters, a Vietnamese cafe and coffee roastery, sells delicious food and drinks in a hip, calming, and welcoming atmosphere.
Located a couple blocks west of Clark Park, Mood Cafe is small but mighty. Once inside, owners Shanze Faisal and Hasan Bukhari can be heard giving customers detailed recommendations or describing the many unique dishes that the restaurant offers. Bukhari says that, over the years, the menu has changed constantly, due to repeat customers' unorthodox requests. But these experiences have helped shape their creative outlook, and many of their menu items can now only be found at their restaurant.
“Oh!” is not a very good approximation of the sound that I made upon trying the guacamole at Café y Chocolate, but I can’t think of one that better captures my amazement and sheer joy at the salty, savory, green bowl of heaven that I picked at throughout the meal, often neglecting the rest of my food. The guac was unexpectedly tomato–heavy, which I found surprisingly delightful.
Easy to make but hard to master, pop–punk has its fair share of vocal critics for being overly generic and juvenile. Avril Lavigne is one of few artists who not only knows the genre’s ins and outs but also has the ability to craft undeniable hits without sacrificing artistic integrity. In her prime, Lavigne was cranking out chart–toppers like “Girlfriend” and “Complicated,” songs that are as catchy as they are relatable. Like her pop contemporaries though, Lavigne eventually drifted away from the sound of her early years. Christina Aguilera found a home in Spanish music on La Fuerza, Nelly Furtado transitioned to indie pop on The Ride, and Lavigne herself tried her hand at more stripped back production on Head Above Water. However, in the wake of pop–punk's surge, Lavigne is going back to her roots. Twenty years later, she makes a return to the realm of teen angst and rebellion on Love Sux, though without the boldness or fearlessness we would typically expect from the artist.
