Keoni and Bonnie

I love to layover in the city of brotherly love!  We got there in the morning and had all day there.  It was a beautiful day to walk around the historic area and walk on cobblestone streets that our forefathers walked on!

There are three independent type movie theaters in that area.  I went to see “Easy Virtue” with Jessica Biel and Colin Firth.  It was a comedy based on a Noel Coward play that takes place in the 1920’s in England.  Jessica was the “ugly” American who stole the heart of a wealthy British family.  The mother (Kristin Scott Thomas) and sisters don’t like her but Dad(Colin) does!  It was really cute.

I strolled around looking for a good restaurant to try.  I found FARMiCiA at 15 South 3rd Street.  Their menu had a lot of fresh and healthy items.  The decor was colorful with a Granny Smith apple as a centerpiece on the tables.

They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner.  I went early because my pick up from the hotel was 0400 in the morning!  I chose an appetizer of three spreads consisting of tapenade, white bean hummus and artichoke pesto.  All this came with a huge amount of delicious french bread.  I couldn’t eat it all so I packed it to go because I wanted to try the French Lentil Salad.  This was topped with baked goat cheese and served with mixed greens and a sherry dressing.  Fabulous!

There were many other things I wanted to try like chicken enchiladas with chipotle crema and mild salsa verde and the Grilled Tuna with greens, tomatoes and tapenade. 

The best part is the Happy Hour from 5-7 pm Tues-Fri.  They have half-priced drinks including beer, cocktails and wine!  They are closed on Mondays.
