Come walk a weekend in my heels

See All Lists
Friday night it's the two-bar rotation. Saturday you start the day right at the Farmers Market that is open all year round and then work yourself up in a dance frenzy at night. Sunday you beg for forgiveness then reward yourself with gluttony. 3 out of the 4 weeks of the month, this is what it looks like.

Think of all the things you want in a neighborhood bar:
A mix of cute interesting (with a little attitude) waitresses, funny smart bartenders, a good but not overwhelming beer selection, a notch above the ordinary bar food,  well-placed TVs to cheer…More »

Don't give me crap but I only come here on Fridays with the occasional Saturday. I show up at 10:15pm, wait for them to clear the "main floor" of tables and then dance till 1:59am. The music promptly shuts off, the lights shine on, exposing everybody…More »

This is my neighborhood bar. Meaning, this is the bar I show up in my sweatpants and (politically incorrect) wifebeater. I always bypass the first floor after the obligatory ID show, momentarily stop at the second floor to get the fabulous $3 PBR,…More »

Saturday night review!

Obviously a "dive" bar like all the reviews say. The city-wide or "Philly special" is the drink to order: for $3.50 you get a PBR and a shot of whiskey. Sometimes the whiskey tastes watered down, sometimes it kicks you in the…More »

3 and 1/2 stars but per usual I always round up on everything including my bra cup size.

Haters hate on this place big time because a) yes there's usually a line to get in and b) place is jammed on your typical Friday and Saturday nights. But a) I…More »

Good and bad pairings:

1) great location in Rittenhouse but that means occasionally a car alarm sounds during the service for fifteen minutes distracting you no matter how hard you try to concentrate

2) huge church with an equally large congregation…More »

I really like the feel of this place. Fits right into bella vista neighborhood. A hipster waiter came over and cracked open our beers for us (it's BYOB) and chatted a ton. Their challah french toast is always consistently good, even their special…More »

Two words: FRESH and HOMEMADE!! The cheese ravioli and the mozzarella knots with their bread... Holy crap. I mean, SUPER GOOD. All of it!!!! Get them behind the counter. A box of ravioli was like 8 bucks or so for 12... 15? can't remember I'm still…More »

i spent the weekend going to different froyo places and this place wins on yogurt taste alone. Absolutely the richest-- like soft serve ice cream. I'm a flavor type of girl so I was disappointed in not having the choice of froyo flavors, but the…More »

Dress Like You Made a Resolution to Work Out More (4)

Yadda yadda need to lose weight blah blah blah....

Day 1. think about if losing 20lbs is even reasonable.
Day 2. Shop for workout clothes.
Day 3. think about working out.
Day 4. Shop for more workout clothes.

etc.
But you don't wanna walk too far to start looking like you've resolved to start walking, so... Yeah. Keeping it within walking distance. Or one bus ride.

Shape Up, or Ship Out (7)

Here's how I like to work my booty (besides dancing).

Wisdom Teeth Remedy: Frozen Treats (10)

They yanked all four wisdom teeth out of my head and then expected me to subsist on pudding and jello. A milkshake saved my temper and what followed was seven days* of eating ice cream or frozen yogurt twice a day to assuage my swollen mouth.  

*currently on 7 days... may continue for another 7... if not shamed into stopping
