Fun in Philly


A couple of college friends and I met up in Philly for a girl's weekend. Amy is on the left, Corinne is in the middle, and moi on the right. I had never been to Philadelphia, so I was very excited to see the Rodin museum, run up the Rocky steps and ring the Liberty Bell.

Did we do any of that? haha, nope. Instead we decided that we were going to eat and drink our way through the weekend, and we did! Upscale Pan-Asian and wine Friday night dining al fresco at Twenty Manning, crepes and cider for Saturday brunch at Beau Monde, then pre-dinner beer and oysters on the halfshell appetizer at The Oyster Bar (I think) and then Mexican with Pink Cadillac margaritas at El Vez.

I rarely splurge on nice meals, so this was indeed a treat. And we remained surprizingly sober, thanks to obscene amounts of food and water.

So, if you're in Philly and need some places to eat, check out:
