How about Walnut Street, east of Broad?

Sumo Sushi, which opened at Broad and Pine Streets in summer 2010, is fixing to go into 1316 Walnut St., once a camera shop a few doors from the IHOP. This one is months away, as a zoning hearing is up for Oct. 26.

Yong Chi of Giwa (1608 Sansom St.) is looking at late 2011 for Rice & Mix (1207 Walnut St.), a Korean quick-serve. It will be next to Philly's second Yogorino shop, also up for late fall, and Marabella Meatball Co.
