What we won't do in the name of friendship.
When Kevin suggested we check out all 50 best bars in the
Philly Mag Foobooz list, what could we say but, “uh, okay.”
And so the adventure began. Last Friday. Rich
and I scrambled to be ready for a 5:00pm pick-up. Our philosophy is to start the weekend early. It seems to
last longer (as taught to us by the one and only, Marc P).
Met Lisa, Jeanne, and Todd at the Pub & Kitchen.
Officially #1. Oh, I guess we’re
doing this in order? Of
course. Kevin is ever organized.
Ratings:
Vibe: Good
energy. Friendly, neighborhood pub.
Server:
Hysterically funny. Danced. A lot. Camera shy, however.
Drinks: Fantastic.
Love to see Lisa after two
cocktails.
Food : Overall B. Burgers great. Steak – meh…
Friendship: Sublime.
Stay tuned. 49
to go. This may take all year.
Sounds like a good choice in a Philly bar, Christine. I love a place you can go dancing. Thanks so much for sharing. ~Victoria Marie Lees http://campingwithfivekids.blogspot.com

DeleteHi i write from Caltanissetta, Sicily, Italy (sorry for my engl please) i' ve found your 2011 post about my city because i was looking for some historical pics of it. I took your pic and translated in italian your dad's memories and posted in a calntanissetta fan page of facebook to see if someone can recognize gino and maria or some relative. I was so moved reading these words what a noble soul was (or still as i hope HE IS) your father. Here the link of fanpage if you want to have a look. My best regards

Hi David -
DeleteThank you so much!
My dad did pass away 3 years ago. He would love this. As a matter of fact, he donated his body to a medical school and we just got his ashes back. I'm on my way to the beach to scatter his remains with my sisters and brother tomorrow!
I will share your story. It came at a beautiful time.
I hope you find Geno and Maria. Your lovely town never left my dad.
Thank you again!! I hope to visit Sicily one day.
