Sunil friend from college, Dara, came to visit us from NYC this weekend. Ever since she and her mom came to Philly to graciously take us out to dinner post-wedding earlier this year, I have been concinced to show Dara a good time in the city. She was so surprised last visit that Philly wasn't the downtrodden and crime-ridden city that it sometimes has the reputation of being. At the time we lived in Center City and now we are in Old City (the historic area and also the place people go to eat out and go to bars).
Friday night we were supposed to have a date night for me and Sunil with Dara who generously offered to babysit. Sunil came home so late that Dara and I ended up going out ourselves. We ate at POsitano Coast - a lovely Italian restaurant nearby. The food was sooo good- Dara is vegetarian as well so we split Eggplant Napoleon, sphaghetti and Potato Croquettes. YUM! I recommend this restaurant to anyone in town.
Saturday we went to Reading Terminal again and then hit up Chestnut Hill, a very cute, upscale suburb (I think it is still part of the Philly zip code, though it is more of a suburb). Then we came back to Center City, walked around the Fall Festival and ate a light dinner at Tria, an awesome wine bar where we were able to sit outside.
It was fun having her and I hope she come back more often now that I believe she sees Philly in a different light. . .
