Mayor’s Housing Plan On Ice, Fetterman's Low Book Sales, and Tough Borromoni Review
Friday, 21 November, 2025

We’re back with our Friday News Roundup, as host Trenae Nuri and executive producer Matt Katz dissect the week that was: Mayor Parker’s signature housing initiative is on ice, Sen. John Fetterman is home from the hospital and back to selling (or not selling) his book, the restaurant Laurel won a Michelin nod but then closed, and restaurateur Stephen Starr got snubbed by the Michelin Guide and then critiqued by Inquirer restaurant critic, Craig Laban, for his new Rittenhouse Square spot, Borromoni. Our Friday news roundups are powered by great local journalism: One of Philadelphia’s Michelin-recommended restaurants will be closing for good on Friday Stephen Starr’s Borromini should be a showstopper. Instead, it’s a shrug. John Fetterman’s Memoir Is As Low-Effort As His Senate Tenure Legislation would let City Council members stay in office while running for Congress Funding for Mayor Cherelle Parker’s H.O.M.E. initiative will be delayed until next year Philly Housing Authority plans to lay off almost 300 workers in 2026 Get Philly news & events in your inbox with our newsletter: Hey Philly Call or text us: 215-259-8170 We’re also on Instagram: @citycastphilly And don’t forget—you can support this show and get great perks by becoming a City Cast Philly Neighbor at membership.citycast.fm.
