Restaurant Week: Sampan
i’ve tried to eat here many times, but the wait is always ridiculous. my friend decided to make a reservation for restaurant week & when he told me he had 2 extra seats available i couldn’t say no (even if i already ate out twice before in the same week!).
basically, everything is family style and the table has to agree on the dish. you can choose from 6 of their categories (on...

Restaurant Week: Zahav
[unfortunately i was unable to take photos because of the lighting, but here’s a review none the less!]
we were able to choose from their regular menu and were allowed 2 small dishes (mezze), 1 main course (al ha’esh) & a dessert. they also bring out hummus with house-baked laffa & salatim (a selection of small salads). restaurant week offers this selection for $35, but...

Liz Moore Music and Books: Signed HEFT giveaway →
lizmooremusic:
Dear friends,
I feel slightly uncouth doing this for reasons I can’t explain, but I’m going to do it anyway, as a thank you to you all and also as a shameless promotional tool for the book. W.W. Norton thanks you for understanding.
I’d like to give away two signed copies of HEFT. I will write…
Of course! I haven’t bought it yet [going to buy regardless!] but this...

Restaurant Week: Farmer's Cabinet
i’ll admit, i was kind of skeptical to try this for restaurant week. it was quite the pre-judgement since i’d never even stepped foot in the place, but i wasn’t really sure how the food would be. they’re known citywide for their drinks (beer & specialty cocktails) but i never heard anything about their food. i basically pictured a larger franklin mortgage with small...

before the concert [@ the trocadero] we went for sushi at mixx. we definitely got looks in the restaurant, but it was awesome.
lots of neon.
awesome outfits.
bright sunglasses.
“rocking.”
tall 80-fied strangers.
great crowd.
if an 80s cover band...

the menu starts out 2 crostinis with “from the chef.”

RAW: A RueLaLa Purchase
A few months back there was a RueLaLa Philly special for $60 for $120 at RAW. It included a 5 course meal and a flight of sake. I had a $30 credit, so I thought why not? I have been meaning to try the restaurant for a while (must return in the summer for their outdoor patio).
I had some free time this week so I figured I should use it up sooner rather than later.
The restaurant is not very...
