Izakaya fare in U-City.
Our pals at Zagat got a sneak peek of coZara (3200 Chestnut St.), the University City izakaya from the owners of Zama in Rittenhouse. The sleek new spot is serving small, sharable plates (but no sushi) with a solid selection that's perfect Japanese drinking food (Zagat's got the menu right here). There's a serious sake selection, a beer list that's heavy on Japanese imports (hello, Hitachino!) plus a cocktail menu that's heavy on the shochu- and sake-based drinks. Doors open on Friday.
