Dining odds and ends

Today-- Friday the 13th -- is the appropriate opening day for Lucky 7 Tavern, Jud Bertholf's redo of Aspen in Fairmount. Further, he's scheduled to unlock the door at 25th and Aspen at 7 p.m. Here's a peek at chef Sean Pashley's menu, which he cautions is a work in progress. Bertholf is proudest of that Lucky 7 burger, which is topped with scrapple, pork roll, provolone, Cheddar and a fried egg.

Kitchen 233 in Westmont closed last weekend and is being presto-changoed into Treno Pizza Bar. Same owners, PJ Whelihan's. The idea is to keep the typical check (pizza, pasta, glass of wine) at $25. It opens Monday (11/16) and is open nightly. Chef is Todd Fuller, last at Tangerine in Old City.

The restaurant just off the Schuylkill at Route 23 and Moorehead Avenue in West Conshohocken that's been Chiquita Loco and Bergey's and Big Fish and ... will become two restaurants by next weekend. One side will be known as M Bar and the other will be Theresa's, an Italian BYOB. Theresa's will provide M Bar's food.

Franco's Trattoria, on Ridge Avenue just off Kelly Drive in East Falls, is fixing to move around New Year's into the spot on the ground floor of the Presidential City Apartrments on City Avenue at the onramp to the eastbound Schuylkill Expressway. Previous occupant was O'Hara's.

Ota-Ya has closed its Warrington location; Lambertville and Newtown remain.

H.I. Rib & Co. lasted just over a year in the old Lonestar on Ridge Pike near Chemical Road in Conshy. Next occupant will be a diner.
