In the coming weeks, you will be seeing a lot of posts about food - mostly sweets, but a few restaurant "reviews".
Adam and I went on a Philadelphia Chocolate Tour using groupons I had purchased last October for half price. More to come in a much more thorough posting, but a quick review: for the price I paid, its definitely worth it, for the price they charge normally - Im not 100% sure. Keep in mind, I'm VERY cheap (or frugal as many people like to call it), and thats really what it comes down to. If I were single and only had to buy one ticket, I wouldn't mind buying it at full price, but since I have to buy 2 tickets for Adam and I, its more pricey than I like to pay for a date day/night for us. I might look to do it in Boston and/or Chicago where I have personal and business trips planned to and they have sister companies (and I now get $5 off since Im a loyalty card holder just for doing one tour...)
Additionally, tomorrow starts the first of two weeks (weeknights only) of restaurant week in Philly. Since Adam and I have date night on Monday nights, I figured this would be a good chance to check out restaurants we wouldn't necessarily be willing to check out. I picked two restaurants that I actually had never heard of, but I based it on what they were offering on their restaurant week menu and the fact that they had to be an expensive restaurant to begin with (because its not a deal unless they are normally pricey). And of course who had availability as I didn't realize it was going on until the other day.
So look for these reviews over the next few weeks, as soon as I get the chance to write everything out and upload the pics. Hope you enjoy it, and I promise to try and intersperse it with other life events so my blog isn't so focused on food.
