1. The Corner
Philadelphia, PA 19107
(215) 735-7500
Category:
American (New)
Neighbourhoods: Market East, Avenue of the Arts South
Finally got back to The Corner with the intention of trying some of the food. I was not disappointed! For starters, there's an incredible happy hour with drinks and appetizers from 5-7. I kind of hate letting the cat out of the bag on that one. I'll…More »

I was initially bummed when APO closed its doors, but happy to discover that The Corner remains… Read more »
2. Devil's Alley Bar & Grille
Philadelphia, PA 19103
(215) 751-0707
Categories:
American (New),
Bars,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Rittenhouse Square, Penn Center
Never had a sit-down dinner here, but I remember the bar food being good from a happy hour I went to a year or so ago. Went last night and threw back a pretty delish sangria like nobody's business. The server told me what was in it but after the…More »
3. XIX - Nineteen
Philadelphia, PA 19102
(215) 790-1919
Categories:
American (Traditional),
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Rittenhouse Square, Avenue of the Arts South
First of all, I LOVE the bar. It's so swanky and there is always at least one bartender who is super attractive. I don't know about you but that equals points in my book. The cocktails are good, and the happy hour specials are the jam, but the…More »
4. Jamaican Jerk Hut
Philadelphia, PA 19146
(215) 545-8644
Category:
Caribbean
Neighbourhoods: Rittenhouse Square, Avenue of the Arts South
Went to the Hut on Wednesday night with two of my girlfriends. We sat on the outside deck which was nice, although a combination of the overhead lights and fan caused a blacklight effect that was giving me an intense headache. Luckily, someone…More »
5. Talula's Garden
Philadelphia, PA 19106
(215) 592-7787
Category:
American (New)
Neighbourhoods: Washington Square West, Market East
Walking through the garden on a hot and humid Friday night, I was relieved to be sitting inside. But only because of the weather. The garden itself is a wonderland of flora, lights and the sounds of trickling water. Truly magical.
Inside, the decor…More »
6. Catahoula
Philadelphia, PA 19147
(215) 271-9300
Categories:
Cajun/Creole,
Bars
Neighbourhoods: Queen Village, Penn's Landing
The boyfriend and I had some errands to run on Delaware Ave, so we wanted a low-key place with happy hour specials in that general area for dinner. I suggested Catahoula, despite my reservations from my last visit back in December. Since Art had…More »

Based on the reviews of some of my trusted cohorts, I need to give Catahoula another shot. My… Read more »
7. SW Steakhouse
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(702) 770-3463
Category:
Steakhouses
Neighbourhood: The Strip
This review is long overdue but I didn't want to leave SW out of my Vegas chronicles, since our meal there was one of the best parts of my friend's bachelorette weekend earlier this month.
Our server, Juan, and the other gentleman who worked our…More »
8. Bar Dupont
Washington, DC 20036
(202) 483-6000
Category:
Lounges
Neighbourhood: Dupont Circle
Bar Dupont is one of my favorite hangouts while in DC. On a Sunday afternoon, it can be a relaxing place to just have a glass of wine and watch the world go by. The bar is surrounded by windows and sits right on Dupont Circle, so the views are…More »
9. La Birreria @ Eataly
New York, NY 10010
(212) 937-8910
Categories:
Beer, Wine & Spirits,
Bars
Neighbourhood: Flatiron
Birreria gets three stars instead of four solely because of the service (i.e., the lack of) on the day of my visit. We ascended to Birreria from the depths of the overcrowded hell that was Eataly during the holiday season. Surprisingly, the masses…More »
10. Philadelphia Museum of Art
Philadelphia, PA 19130
(215) 763-8100
Categories:
Museums,
Art Galleries
Neighbourhoods: Fairmount, Art Museum District
What can be said that hasn't been said already? The Philadelphia Museum of Art is a landmark in Philadelphia and a beautiful place to spend an afternoon while taking in some culture.
I attended the Van Gogh exhibit recently with a friend and though…More »
11. Wilson Winery
Day 2 of Healdsburg had us biking to Wilson Winery, a nice 3ish mile ride from the center of town. We arrived on a Monday around noon, armed with some supplies from the nearby grocery. Tastings are $5/person, and the wine list is heavy on Zins. I…More »
12. Michel-Schlumberger Winery
While it wasn't nearly as sunny as the current biz listing photo on the day of my visit, the rain didn't take away from the beauty that is Michel-Schlumberger Winery. Even with the construction going on! Fact is, the grounds are just lovely. There's…More »
13. Xfinity Live! Philadelphia
Lord knows we needed an alternative to McFadden's at the Ballpark down by the stadiums. Thank goodness for the multi-bar megaplex, albeit poorly-named, Xfinity Live! (Hey Comcast: we get it, this is your brainchild. No need to be a whore about it,…More »
14. Medlock Ames
Awesome tasting room, and a very cool story behind Medlock Ames, an organic vineyard that uses forces of nature over machinery to cultivate their grapes.
The bar that opens each night after the tasting room closes is really cool. We were able to take…More »
15. Alexander Valley Vineyards
Five stars to Colleen C for recommending this vineyard, which happens to be her beau's family winery. We enjoyed the winding drive to our destination, despite the rainy conditions on that day. Once we arrived, the scenery was gorgeous.…More »
16. Meridian Hill Park
This is one of the most beautiful parks I've ever enjoyed. Winding paths, multi-levels, fountains, reflecting ponds and an abundance of flora are omnipresent about the park.
Enjoy the people watching at DuPont; enjoy serenity at Meridian Hill.
17. Lost Society
Washington, DC 20009
(202) 618-8868
Category:
Steakhouses
Neighbourhood: U Street Corridor
Lost Society was a fun place for my girls and I to have a few drinks while checking out the DC scene on a Saturday night. The first level you come across is like a swankified sports bar. There were a bunch of people watching basketball in this area.…More »
18. Jack Rose Dining Saloon
It's a bit of a crime that Jack Rose has only a three star average at the time of this review. With a whiskey list like whoa and several interesting cocktails, that's three stars in itself. An awesome roof deck and great bartenders round out the star…More »
19. Rittenhouse Tavern
Philadelphia, PA 19103
(215) 732-2412
Category:
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Rittenhouse Square
Last Saturday night we enjoyed a little double date action with friends at Rittenhouse Tavern's gorgeous outdoor patio. From the few glimpses I got indoors before settling at our table, the restaurant itself is very pretty and airy. There's a cool…More »
