What's new with me.
I'm moving, Wednesday, to another apartment in Mt. Airy about a mile from our place now. It's a long story I'm not getting in to, but basically we found a place that's nicer and cheaper which is awesome. It has a basement that's all ours, a back yard, 2 bedrooms, sweet kitchen. The neighborhood is not as quiet as where we are now but it's still a nice block. Wish us luck..

2331 E Cumberland St, Philadelphia
Been meaning to head out here for a while and glad a did. On a really chill street in Fishtown. Great relaxing place with a wonderful old bar. The tap list was great, though what they had coming up was better than what was on. I had a Brasserie De la Senne Equinox and some Sinebychoff Porter. Both were great, especially the porter which I've never had on tap. We got the hefeweizen hummus plate which was decent, and the suicide rings which were hands down the best onion rings I've ever had. Spicy and potent, deliciously breaded and perfectly crisp. What a great joint. I can see why it's consistently rated among the best in the city.

A little off topic (actually, very off topic), but I forget how goddamn awesome this movie really is. I watched again a few days ago and laughed my ass off the whole time. If you like ridiculously over the top action movies like Snakes on a Plane and the Transporter, watch this immediately.

New "gastropub" in the burbs. We were out in Willow Grove at the mall a few weeks ago and decided to check this joint out. Nice clean place with a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. I was thoroughly impressed by the draft list, but the bottle list was a little lackluster. I had a Bavarian Barbarian Headbangerz Brown Ale that was well served and a delicious brown. I'm excited to try more of their beers! The food was stellar. Started with the Belgian Chili that was chock full of meat. Fantastic! Autumn got some stuffed shrimp which were very nice. I had the Portuguese Burger (ground beef and chorizo) that was perfectly cooked (super super rare), well formed, and topped with some heavenly prosciutto. I really enjoyed my time here and can't wait to get back!
