Now that Jet Blue started flying to Savannah, there is a second flight option for Savannah/NYC travel. Hip hip hooray! When they announced the new route, they set up some inexpensive flights, which my parents immediately booked. They were only here for a short while but it was a nice boost for my soul. I…

The mushrooms! Oh, the mushrooms! That’s all I have heard for years as people have told me time and again how great Craft is. I think people are just so delighted that a restaurant known for meat prepares a vegetarian dish so well. I agree, the mushrooms were delicious, as were the simply roasted butterball…

For my last Philly foodie post, I want to focus on a great brunch find. If you are one of those people who judges a brunch spot by their bloodies, you will love National Mechanics thanks to their bloody mary bar. You pick the type of vodka (I went with bacon vodka) and the rim (I…

I took my weekend getaway to Philly as an opportunity to catch up with an old friend. Brooke and I haven’t really seen each other in a few years, but after living in a sorority house together you kinda bond with a chick. We decided to meet for dinner which of course really just means…

Our room wasn’t quite ready when we arrived in Philly, which was fine because Albert had no intention of going there. 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…
