This winter Pennsport’s food scene saw a little shakeup with the closing of two restaurants, 1st Ward Sandwich and Fourth and Cross.
The location when it was 1st Ward Sandwich.
Lee Styer and Joncarl Lachman have opened their new breakfast concept called The Dutch in the former Fourth and Cross spot, and now another restaurant is preparing to open in the Front and Morris storefront of 1st Ward Sandwich. South Helm, the new location of the Kensington-based American BYOB, is set to open on June 3.

1st Ward Sandwich closed up shop in January after less than a year in this location at Front and Morris. The closing of this sandwich shop left another Pennsport restaurant space empty, since Fourth and Cross had also closed around the same time.
Pennsport is now seeing some new food additions, first with the opening of The Wild Burrito, and now with the news of the successful American BYOB, Helm, coming to the former 1st Ward Sandwich location.

Lately there’s been good news rolling in for Pennsport, with the area’s new status as “neighborhood of the year” and restaurants like Neon Lobster and The Wild Burrito coming soon to the area.
But with the good comes bad. Recently Fourth and Cross announced their permanent closure, now another restaurant that has also been open for less than a year here has called it quits. 1st Ward Sandwich, located at the corner of Front and Morris, closed last week.

Fourth and Cross isn’t the only new restaurant to open recently in Pennsport. Another new spot, called 1st Ward Sandwich, also opened in the neighborhood.
The sandwich shop, which we first told you about in April, officially opened on Wednesday, June 10 at Front and Morris.
