Have you ever stepped into a restaurant, or walked down the street and saw someone with a plate/beverage and thought to yourself, "YUM! What are they having?" Out of desire, our visual taste buds draw us to appealing food that nourishes and comforts. Out of curiosity and critic, this is a reflection my dinning adventures while finding out the best and worst food establishments in Western Massachusetts.

City Food Tours: "Flavors of Philly" (Philadelphia,PA)
What a way to bring in the New Year! My boyfriend and I decided to discover Philadelphia to end the year. What better way to discover then to EAT?! Hahaha! The "Flavors of Philly" food tour is an entertaining tour that takes place in the heart of Philadelphia. Our Tour guide Eric was so friendly and had a wealth of knowledge that it was a game the whole time trying to stump him with an array of questions. He was very informative on the history of the city and a complete joy to spend the day. The food was FANTASTIC! Truly authentic and everything we were looking for whether being a tourist or discovering the city all over again. Our tour was not only a tasting adventure, but a meal that includes classic Philly eats like cheese steaks and cheese whiz fries, tomato pie, soft pretzels, chocolate-covered hard pretzels, and we had Chai cake truffles and ginger whoopie pies!!! Me oh my! It was completely worth it and enjoyed every minute!!!! I would completely recommend this tour and look forward to my next trip to NYC to try the tour in that city as well!!!!
After our food delight we headed over to the battleship in Camden and watched the New Year fireworks. (I loved this pic so much!)
4 stars- ****
(Not a food tour if you are vegan or lactose intolerant....sorry guys!)
