Dizengoff and Townsend make Bon Appetit's new-restaurant list

Two ends of the dining spectrum represented.

Bon Appetit is out today with a list of its 50 nominees for the best new restaurants in America, and the two picks from Philadelphia could not be more different.

Dizengoff is a so-called hummusiya - an Israeli-style hummus shop in Center City (from Zahav/Abe Fisher/Federal Donuts' Michael Solomonov and Steve Cook) with picnic-style seating and a simple menu that will set you back less than $15 for lunch.

Townsend is a polished, white-tablecloth French bistro on East Passyunk Avenue from chef Tod Wentz.

"The one thing they have in common is this: flat-out deliciousness," the editors wrote.
