Although I spent the last four years of my life in Los Angeles, an undeniable entertainment capital I find myself going out much more now that I’m in Philly. The concentration of people, places and things makes it easy to find something to do any night of the week. Not only do I have access to the social outlets through Penn the city of Philadelphia always has something, so much so that I find myself passing things up. The past to weeks in Philly have been restaurant week, so myself and my roommates and honorary roommates(people who always seem to be at our place and comfortably go in our fridge) made reservations at Chima. Chima is a wonderful Brazilian steak house near center city. During restaurant week four-five star restaurants like chima offer meals with multiple courses for 35 dollars. The way Chima works is that you have unlimited access to a salad, soup, and sides bar and have continuous top cuts of meat brought to you. As long as you have your table card flipped to the color that tells them to offer the cut they are distributing, servers are continually coming up to you asking you if you would like to try their meat. It’s probably not the best place to take my vegetarian or vegan friends; but with unlimited access to filet mingnon, steak sirloin, ribs, chicken wrapped in bacon, and even swordfish it is definitely a carnivore’s delight. Aside from restaurant week, I found myself at a Wine and Cheese event sponsored by BGAPSA, at the rave theater in University City, and Brunch at City Tap house this morning. So when it came down to my Sunday night plans I decided to give away my tickets to a basketball game hosted by Carmelo Anthony with other NBA participants like Lebron James. Each week seems to be a new social adventure . . .more to come on my social philly findings
