Birthdays we sipp champion cus we thirsty

Happy Birthday to My Roomie!
How else could we celebrate then with a Cup Cake from Brown Betty Boutique! Only the best.
We are repeat offenders! Always heart them!

Honey's

Honey's is definitely sweet. Work Hard. Eat Good. After a day of filming we stopped for late lunch early dinner , linner? It doesn't matter how you label it the meal was good! Everything on the menu enticed my eyes + stomach. This place will be a repeat. 
(*a bonus everything is fresh organic and grown locally)
Honey's 800 North 4th Street, Philadelphia

Chips n Guacamole 

Peaches + Cream French Toast with Raspberry drizzle. 

Repeat appearance

Tofu wrap

Mystery Solved!


Food Trucks re-visited: It has no name and no frills but some plants + garlic that garnish the side of the truck + some plates too. Who knew smells this good could emanate from a truck. The past 4 years me + friend Domo have walked passed this truck on our busy journeys  but we didn't know what they sold! (There is no menu + no sign). We made a pact before we graduated as seniors we'd find out. Now we know it is the most amazing greek food that one can find on a food truck. All the ingredients are fresh and home made by the gentleman who owns it. His motto quality of quantity, but you still get a load of food! 
Grilled chicken, falafel, salad, grapes, couscous, hummus, + roll, topped with a sprig of spring time rosemary.
 The corner of 20th St and JKF Blvd, follow the smells and the long line of people can't miss it. 




Mimosas with Mom

Me and moms grabbed a pre-graduation breakfast at a local neighbor hood shop: Coffee House on Girard Ave and Front St. 113 West Girard Avenue, Philadelphia to be exact
Free mimosas or bloody mary with any breakfast sandwich! 
We sat in there back garden patio, a refreshing breakfast just for the girls.
Bacon Egg and Cheese Croissant - I can hear 'em now in a romantic buttery french accent saying "eat me, savor me."

The Pit

The Pita Pit that is! Down in the dumps stop through the Pita Pit for a pick me up.
1601 Sansom Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103
and you can order online and they deliver check the website

My homie Rachel works at The Pita Pit, i think she makes an pretty awesome Pita. She'll suggest the buffalo chicken - because she loves hot sauce on ev-er-y-thang! But if you don't like spicy they have plenty of other toppings. Its a chill atmosphere and they may even play your fav Pandora station if your nice to them. And don't forget to hit the tip jar if you like your service: I always make it rain when I come in that place.
