GIANT Pizza in West Chester

All silliness aside, the new Giant supermarket on Route 322 is really my new favorite place to wander late at night! I used to be a devout Wegman’s follower, but the close proximity (about a two and a half minute car ride) to the center of West Chester has lured me in. While
writing this, I’m sipping on organic carrot-orange juice from their big organic isles – yum! At least once or twice a week, friends and I drive over and mull for hours over what specific snack we want to try that week – this week, it’s homemade gourmet pizzas! Read More

West Chester Welcomes Kreutz Creek Vineyard Tasting Room

44 E. Gay Street is gearing itself up to house West Chester’s first wine tasting room – Kreutz Creek Vineyards new outpost! Most borough locals have yearned for a place to grab a nice bottle of wine, within walking distance, and their prayers have finally been answered. Right
now we’re lucky enough to be able to grab a growler at Iron Hill, but soon it’ll be just as easy to grab a nice Cabernet to take along to one of our many BYO restaurants. Read More

Breakfast Dating 101


We all have experienced post-church, hangover-nursing or even corporate breakfast gatherings but there is a new breakfast on the rise. Singles are testing the waters with breakfast dating. (Well, we are at least.) Read More

The Final Night

In celebration of our last night we needed a drink. But what to get? I had tasted a local concoction called a Panty Ripper; pineapple juice and coconut rum. But this was too sweet for my taste. I loved the freshly squeezed lime juice that they mixed with sugar (like a lime-anade) that all the bars had so I decided to order a lime juice and coconut rum. When I went to the bar to order it I asked what he thought the name of my new drink should be. The answer? A Sour Panty. Which, after a few drinks and the local creole accent quickly was renamed to the Sore Panty. Sounds dirty, I know… but it was all clean fun. Read More

Just beachy

For our last day in Belize Patty and her husband joined us for a day at the beach. We caught a 6:00am bus to a ferry and the ferry dropped us off in Placencia, a quaint resort town that is known for having the world’s smallest main street (it’s the size of a sidewalk). Our hotel was literally across from the ferry doc and it was simply heaven. Read More

Day of Breakfast

When I woke up the first thing I did was check for bug bites. I searched my body and discovered four large bumps on my leg. I heard Patty cleaning in the kitchen and called out, “Pat, how do you know if you got a bite from a “bad” bug?” Read More

Fudge Boy

“That is actually a really hard maneuver that the pilot just did. He must be really good.” P.P said as we swung through the air making turns I thought only a race car could make. Read More

Another New West Chester Restaurant; Butterfish

According to a Craigslist.org ad, Butterfish is the new sister restaurant to current local favorite, Spence Cafe. With that in mind, I checked out Butterfish’s online menu – their dishes are similarly styled, but all selections are different from their sibling location. The prices are a little lower, as well – not significantly, but at least worth noting. I got a friend and a bottle of wine, called in a pick up order, and drove the ten blocks to grab what we were hoping to be the most delicious gourmet take-out order of our lives. Read More

On a Scale of One to Ten

We caught a two hour bus ride to another two hour bus ride which landed us in Grangrega along the coast. Here we had a tasty dinner of fried conch at a riverside cafe. The interior reminded me of what I would expect the 50′s be like. Read More
