September 3, 2014 Miller’s Twist

This post seems to have missed the whole Philly set of posts. No matter! When you go to Philly, one of the must try things (besides a cheese steak) is a pretzel. You’ve had a pretzel before, maybe Auntie Annies? You can’t even compare these to other pretzels you’ve had. Located in the Reading Terminal Market, […]

May 21, 2014 Jane G’s

On our last night in Philly we were looking for some good old fashioned Chinese food. Jane G’s was right pretty close to the hotel. Jane Guo opened this restaurant in 2012, her second restaurant in Philly. The restaurant was getting busier and busier as the night went on – there were a few large […]

On our second night in Philly we stopped over at the Oyster House for dinner, our concierge at the hotel was able to make us a reservation. There wasn’t really a place to wait for our table as the bar area was packed – they have nightly happy hour specials ($1 oysters in the bar […]

May 16, 2014 Amada

On our first night in Philly we decided to hit up Amada, a great tapas restaurant. There is a front and back room, and they couldn’t feel more like a contrasted – the front room is warm and light and the back room is a little darker, a little more romantic. We opted to go […]

May 12, 2014 Franklin Fountain

Franklin Fountain has been on my “must go to” list for some time now. I had heard about it years ago on some food show, and now that we were finally in Philly, how could I pass up heading over? Mind you, the day that we decided to go on this Franklin Fountain mission, it […]

A chocolate covered Reese’s peanut butter cup, […]

May 8, 2014 Reading Terminal Market

Reading Terminal Market is just steps away from the Ritz Carlton Hotel in city center. We end up spending a lot of time there, not only for the great people watching, but for the one stop shopping it provides. For those of you from Boston, it’s like Fanueil Hall, but bigger, and better. You can […]
