Brazilian Feast in Philly: Day 3 & 4

Black Friday! Philadephia has no sales tax- NICE.

Like tired college students, we sleep in whenever we get the chance. At 11:00 AM, Legarlin made me breakfast!

Cilantro, onions, tomatoes

Sautee the vegetables, then pouch the eggs

Delicious

Capogiro
Ranked as top gelateria and coffee shop
Start of a good morning

A very sweet and cozy environment

Paninis, sandwiches, espresso drinks, gelato, etc

Distinctive flavors of gelato

Gelato!

Thai coconut and coffee - Small ($5.00)
Thai coconut is AMAZING

Juliana's Latte
Beautiful frosty foam

City Hall

The historic rivalry between Pat's and Geno's
They both claim to be the originals

The lines were too long to have both, so I chose Geno's!

WOW, RACIST.

Cash only- $9

Finally got my Philly Steak!

All eyes on my Philly Steak!

Final thoughts: Delicious but pretty plain. The bread was soft but I wish it was toasted. The sandwich was composed of only sliced steak and grilled onions (that's it)

Brazilian Dinner
Faroja
(Traditional Brazilian Dish)

Minced Meat and Eggplant

Frijoles and Tomatoes

Feeling very cultured

Midnight Snacks
Pumpkin Spice Pecan Cupcakes
(Recipe by Cynthia)

Prociutto, Pistaccio/Lime Cheese, Hummus, and Crackers
(Prociutto and Cheese purchased in Italian district in Philly)


Last meal:
Took a while, but we finally found this amazing and cheap noodle house in Chinatown. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the name or location.




 Thank you for inviting me and saving me from being alone for the holiday! You are wonderful and I had an amazing time!
