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 →

I don’t know Pho, but Yum!

Early in the summer I had a craving for an inexpensive, light lunch and remembered that Linh Diep from My Linh, had opened a place right in the area I happened to be.  I am a huge fan of the simple fresh flavors of Vietnamese food, although I can't claim a wealth of experience or … Continue reading I don’t know Pho, but Yum! →
