An entire restaurant devoted to grilled cheese sounds heavenly. And now it exists. Actually, it has existed for over a year, but now it conveniently exists near my office. I can’t go too often because my grilled cheese came to almost $10 – a crazy markup – and of course it didn’t keep me full…

My trip to Philly gave me enough to fill up almost two “3 on Thursday” posts. You may not want to hear any more about my trip, but during a week as busy as mine, I like to be reminded of my recent relaxation. The background of this week’s post shows off what was probably…

After dinner with Brooke, Albert and I decided to stay out for just two more drinks. When you’re only in the city for 34 hours, the goal should be to pack as much in as possible. We had passed Tria while walking around during the day and decided it was worthy of our nightcap. We…

His alma mater (St. Johns) was already in the second half of their basketball game against [coincidentally, Philly-based] Villanova. Priority numero uno was finding a bar to watch the game so we left our…

If you’re a New Yorker, I highly recommend a weekend trip to Philly. I went this past weekend as a belated anniversary/valentines celebration with Albert who planned the whole thing as a surprise. I love exploring new places so a weekend getaway is ideal. It’s only about an hour and a half away so there’s…

Sometimes you taste something that doesn’t belong…but you like it anyway. That’s what happened to me when I tried the frozen yogurt at Victory Garden. It’s fro yo that’s made with goat milk. The inevitable first question is whether or not it tastes like goat cheese. It actually does. It has all the tang of…

John Green’s novel is pure Young Adult fiction. It is written from the perspective of a 16-year old and the language is thus attainable…to a degree. You’ll find plenty of “whatever”s and other teen speak, but you’ll also find a number of words the book’s intended teen audience will only recognize if they are heavily…
