How To Spend A Weekend In Philadelphia With Your Parents

My parents have been big fans of Philly my whole life. We’ve been taking hour long car rides for overnight stays in this pretty city forever, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that now that I actually live here, things really haven’t changed. My parents recently came up to spend the weekend in Philadelphia, and instead of winging it and/or hitting up our favorite places like we normally do, we put together a few plans that provided us with an awesome weekend itinerary. First stop: boozing it up with my buddies!

We headed over to Yards Brewing (901 North Delaware Avenue) with a few of my girlfriends to tour the brewery. Yards offers free tours on the weekends, and even if you only have a tiny interest in beer, this stuff is pretty cool to see.

{C-CAP} Firing Up Philly’s Next Chefs

Last month, I was invited to attend Ignite: C-CAP Firing up Tomorrow’s Chefs at The Dorrance H. Hamilton Enterprise Center for Culinary Arts. Careers through Culinary Arts Program (C-CAP) has been working with public high schools in the area (& across the country!) for 25 years to prepare underserved students for college and career opportunities in the restaurant and hospitality industries. I was so impressed with the goals of the organization (because like, seriously, the cause is great), so I was thrilled to attend.
