Putting my money where my mouth is

I spent a little time Sunday afternoon at an event at Mingle.  It was a fundraiser for Kathy Sheehan's campaign for mayor and there were familiar faces present as well as some local food items from our DelSo peeps, All Good Bakers, The Cheese Traveler, Tilldale Farms and, of course, Mingle.

12 Days of Christmas – Dining Delso

The 9th day of Christmas would be the ideal time to visit the big sister on the block - Nicole's Restaurant.  This family run spot is most definitely an established business in the DelSo, really, it's practically an institution.  Established in 1986 (!), Nicole's has long been a consistently great spot for a romantic dinner … Continue reading 12 Days of Christmas – Dining Delso →

On the 8th day it was time to check out the bar(tenders) at a favorite neighborhood joint - New World Bistro Bar.  This place has been such a huge asset to the DelSo area.  Seriously, it probably single-handedly started the resurgence of Delaware Avenue when it opened a few years back.  I think the appeal … Continue reading 12 Days of Christmas – Dining DelSo →

Let's talk about pizza, shall we?  I mean, I know my boys would happily eat pizza on the 6th day of Christmas.  Truth be told, they'd be content eating pizza six days a week, probably.  Good thing we have some options in the DelSo.  First up - Gourmella's!  I'll begin by saying I'm not all … Continue reading 12 Days of Christmas ~ Dining Delso →

The 5th day of Christmas just might be the perfect time for you to get down with a lovely Italian Christmas tradition.  You know, the Christmas Eve feast of Seven Fishes?   I mean, a girl has to start somewhere and the Fish Fry zone on Delaware is a fine place to begin satisfying the need … Continue reading 12 days of Christmas ~ Dining Delso →

On the fourth day of Christmas I checked out a spot in the neighborhood where I find it easy to enjoy visions of sugarplums any time of the year - Emack & Bolio.  Yes, that's right, it's not just ice cream here, friends.  There's a full assortment of luscious candies and chocolates,  smoothies and espresso … Continue reading 12 Days of Christmas ~ Dining DelSo →
