Want to open a restaurant on the Avenue of the Arts? The now-empty Chew Man Chu space in the Symphony House at Broad and Pine Streets is being offered up, and the price tag -- according to an e-mail making the rounds -- is $595,000, including the liquor license.

Some readers thought it would have been clever for the Rita's water-ice chain to change the name of its orange-flavored ice to "Home Ice" in honor of the Flyers. A Rita's spokeswoman found the idea "interesting" but: "We aren't able to change the name of the flavors for particular stores/regions as we are in 18 states with 550+ stores and there are some operational implications." In other words, Rita's has no home team anymore.
