Dining Daze...

So did I mention that my friend, Nancy, has an eating problem? Basically she eats everything she see. But it works for her... somehow she's still the tiniest girl I know. This, my friends, is what I describe as jealousy.

Anyway, now that Nancy's back from coop and is living in Philly once again, we've been going out to every posh new restaurant Nancy can find. And she spends more time on restaurant sites than she does on facebook. And we all know how much time everyone spends on facebook...

Thursday we went to Apamate, a spanish tapas restaurant at 16th and South. It was cute, to say the least. The tapas were around 3 to 4 bucks... not bad, even when you get 8 or so. But the best part of the meal was the chorizos. In short, they were SO GOOOOOD! Six dollars were never better spent. They came with a dark melted dipping chocolate, and were simply orgasmic. (I probably should've put a PG-13 disclaimer at the top... haha) I highly recommend visiting. Apamate is a very small establishment, and both the owners were working when we went, and Nancy and I were able to meet both of them and see the kitchen. Also, byo... (now it's rated R or so...)

Afterwards we took a trek down to 2nd and Chestnut... quite a hike, but enough to burn off all the calories. There we made a stop at Aromatic, a persian hooka and gyro restaurant. After dinner all we wanted was some hummas and pita. And that's what we got. Just in portions five-times larger than we expected. At least it lasted a couple hours. Once again, the restaurant is off the beaten path. It was the first persian restaurant in the city, and has just splendid service. Ask for Helen, the owner, and she'll treat you well. We're going back tonight for more food.

Now all I need is Nancy's metabolism.
