In a city filled with historic charm (see post #13), local eateries also tend to be charming... and small. This will be my first post about a place I don't know very well, but Betty's Speakeasy in Graduate Hospital deserves my attention, and my patronage.
To celebrate
Julie's birthday, our friend organized a special weekday dinner for eight of us at Betty's Speakeasy-- known best (well, not by me until recently) for breakfast and lunch and fudge, this tiny first floor restaurant/bakery also hosts small, private or semi-private price-fix dinners.
Best points of the dinner and then the photos can speak for themselves--
 |
| Theme menu & my sock monkey wine bottle cover |
- dinner themes! Check out the menu that we shared, the Charles Dickens dinner
- narration of the history and any other story behind every course from your waiter, Dylan
- heavy support of local farmers (our goose only traveled from Delaware)
- and, of course, it's BYO PLUS drink pairings!
Dinner was delicious and we look forward to the next themed dinner, whatever it may be! (Creole?)

| Check out the local Blue Coat Gin drink pairing next to the birthday girl |

| Another drink pairing- chocolate stout |
So, I love Philadelphia thanks to small, creative, local restaurants that let me bring my own wine!
