I was browsing pictures today and wanted to revisit some wonderful culinary experiences from the past year. Perhaps this is related to my rather bland diet lately, or an upcoming, highly anticipated happy hour tomorrow evening. Whatever the reason, enjoy.
The area surrounding the Phila Art Museum is crowded with restaurants. Not so much as in Texas, I’ve been told several times that Texas has a ridiculous number of restaurants, but there is still a lot to c hoose from. I selected London Grill, based on reviews from sources varying from Fodor’s to the girl at the info booth in the museum. I thought it was a bit cold, but there were plenty of people on the patio.
This place is split into a fine dining section, where waiters will ask you 16 times if you want to see the wine list, and a pub, where waiters might listen to you if you yell your drink order loudly enough. Apparently the burgers at the pub are great, though that’s a topic for another time. The food was overall fantastic – seafood wrapped in bacon, perfectly steamed asparagus, one slice of cornbread as an appetizer on a special little plate just for me. This place felt expensive (and easily could have been). Though I really enjoyed my dinner, I think I enjoyed the restroom more.
What a hilarious find! I would love to know the story behind that monkey, who stares at you while you try to fix your hair in the miniscule mirror. If I ever return, I’ll make sure to bring a man who will check out the men’s room for me, I’m dying to know if the monkey has a mate. Note: The bathroom is about the size the picture indicates. Tiny. Don’t bring your whole family in there.
