{Philadelphia Restaurant Week} Zahav

Living in this city, answering the “what’s your favorite restaurant?” question is a tough one. I mean, obviously we are extremely lucky that Philly is regarded as such a fabulous city for dining . . . but the judgement one could get for the wrong restaurant choice is pretty substantial.

Lucky for me, I have Zahav (237 Saint James Place). {Disclaimer: If you’re about to click through that link, please beware, the site has some groovy autoplay music that has startled me approximately 45 times this month alone.} I have loved Zahav since the first time I tried it, and it truly has yet to disappoint me since. I always go in craving my favorites, but come out in love with something I never thought I’d try.

{Philadelphia Restaurant Week} Barbuzzo

Today I’m coming to you with a little mid-Restaurant Week post to tell you about the glory that is Barbuzzo (110 South 13th Street). In all of my Philadelphia dining experiences, I had only been to Barbuzzo once for lunch. I knew this year I was making my reservations early, and I was so happy this little place did not let me down.

Joined by my friends Eric and Frannie, we stopped by for dinner on Thursday. I’ve heard that Barbuzzo can feel crowded, but we were seated towards the front and were just fine. The cocktails and wine list looked great, but after glancing at the menu, I knew it was going to be a brew night for me. We were greeted with complimentary grilled bread (a common theme of my meal) and sheep’s milk ricotta drizzled with EVOO. I don’t fight these things.

How To Conquer Philadelphia Restaurant Week

I know a lot of people have mixed feelings about Philadelphia Restaurant Week, but I am not one of them. I thoroughly enjoy any excuse to get out to some of my favorite places in Philly. Restaurant Week dinners become traditions amongst friends, simple date ideas, and an easy way to further explore our city. Several years and many $35 dinners later, I have figured out a few ways to get the most out of one of my favorite times of year.

Where I’ve Been & Where I’m Going

Happy October, Philly ladies! It doesn’t really feel like October though, especially since I just turned the AIR CONDITIONING on in my apartment. What freaking gives.

McCormick Place Chicago

I wanted to give you a quick update on my life. After some amazing Philadelphia Restaurant Week excursions (helloooo Fogo de  Chao, Zahav & Tinto!) and trying so. many. ciders at the Pour the Core Cider Festival, I headed to Chicago for a conference all about e-commerce and online shopping. While I was only there a few days, my coworkers and I got to schmooze at some pretty cool parties, like the one below at the Terrace at Trump. I learned a lot at the conference and would love to go back & visit Chicago again soon. But mainly just to eat at RPM Italian a few more times . . . yum.

Terrace at Trump Tower

Before the conference was confirmed, my family and I had planned a trip to one of our favorite spots, Orlando! So despite the fact that I currently have 2.5 hours to unpack blazers and career dresses from my suitcase and repack it with sundresses, flip flops & bathing suits, I’m feeling pretty wonderful about relaxing on a much needed vacay. I’m unfortunately not one of those fab bloggers that has a bunch of posts scheduled to hold you over (I’m sorry . . . ), so please consider this a brief hiatus. If you miss me too much while I’m away, check out Her Philly on Twitter & Her Philly on Instagram.

I hope you all have a fabulous week & maybe the next time you see me I’ll be a teensy, tiny, little bit less florescent in skintone? But probably not. xx
