Last Suppers

We've come down to our final week in Philadelphia. (Sigh.) Even though our last days will be filled with packing and making various arrangements, we're fitting in some last suppers. So far we're doing drinks at Southwark (a Sazerac and an Old-Fashioned, both for me, because they're my favorites and because the bartenders make them perfectly, though I don't really think I need reasons) and dinner at Coquette. Another night it's The Greeks, a small-town tavern with a place in our hearts (and solid comfort food with icy Sierra Nevada on draft to wash it all down). There'll also be yet another cafe afternoon for moi, spent job-searching on the old laptop while downing iced coffees. Chapterhouse is my cafe of choice (because they make funky iced tea/Italian soda combos), but I'm going to try out Red Hook before we leave.

And just to keep everybody up-to-date, over the past couple weeks we've hit Pumpkin and Chicks from the list below. We enjoyed Pumpkin's five-course Sunday-night tasting menu and highly recommend it. It doesn't include wine because it's a BYOB, but, at $35 for a lot of really well-executed and yummy food, it's a steal. Chicks wasn't out-of-the-park good, but it was tasty. And we liked the old-timey tavern feel. We'd go back for drinks and a couple apps.

"Welp, that about does her, wraps her all up" (for all those TBL fans out there). For now anyway. With the upcoming move, unpacking, setting up the new digs, and then--don't hate me--our long-awaited trip to Greece and Italy, KFW's on hiatus. But stay tuned for tales of our culinary adventures in our nation's capital and abroad. And more recipes, rants, raves, and ramblings.
