Ending the year at the very best restaurant in Philadelphia, and possibly the entire country: @zahavrestaurant. @mikesolomonov can do no wrong. Pictured here are the salatim starter salads with two varieties of hummus, fried cauliflower, house-cured salmon on latke, kibbe naya, an off-menu mushroom schnitzel, duck hearts, halloumi (a must-order every time), the famous lamb shoulder, branzino, and a selection of desserts (including another halloumi).

It’s not Christmas Eve if we don’t get up early to stand in line at @czerw_kielbasa. They constantly bring out huge loops of their freshly smoked kielbasa, and if I don’t have the time (or patience) to make my own, I always grab a few dozen pierogi as well. Waiting in line and smelling the smoke is one of my absolute favorite parts of the Christmas season. Doesn’t hurt that everyone who works there treats you like you’ve been friends for 40 years.

We finally got around to trying out @sarvidaphilly last night. I’m not familiar enough with Filipino food to know if it was traditional or good in that regard, but I do know in general food terms it was delicious. I mean, look at that pork belly!

I don’t usually go to zoos, but I was able to accompany @ktgoeshiking to the @phillyseaport holiday party at @philadelphiazoo, which included free entrance to their LumiNature display. It was a nice walk through the lights despite the cold rain.

Alright. 2009-2019. Got rid of the baby face and the baby beard.

Sometimes it’s hard to find a costume that fits the hair and beard, but then Fat Thor comes along and makes everything alright.
