What did you think about the garlic bread at Tony's? Deni Sunderly did a review earlier this week. She said it came with a cheese sauce as well as extra shaved cheese on the side. It looked pretty good!

Attempting a Swolphin area mini bar crawl...here is the Flying Fish cheese plate. The cheeses were great, I was less into the sweet accompaniments.

 

[justinslot]

The cheeses. The gouda and the tomme were my favorites.

 

[justinslot]

The bartender at Bluezoo says the Swolphin also has their own barrel of Knob Creek.

 

[justinslot]

Bluezoo clam chowder. This was good! With little bits of bacon. Note the two clams still in their shells floating in the soup.

 

[justinslot]

Bluezoo bill.

 

[justinslot]

Shula's dirty martini.

 

[justinslot]

A Shula's crabcake. This was good, your typical fancy steakhouse high quality crabcake.

Shula's bill.

Negroni time at Il Mulino

The bar crawl goes full circle: return to Flying Fish for dessert. This is the key lime cake, basically cake but key lime flavored.

 

[justinslot]

Dessert bill. The Blantons was to go so I would have something to drink with my cigar.

 

[justinslot]

And then I went to Kimonos lol

 

[justinslot]

The "bagel roll" was the closest thing to a Philly roll they had (cream cheese and smoked salmon.)

Perfectly fine mackerel.

Yeah it came with what I thought was an alfredo sauce on the side. I did not get the extra shaved cheese served with mine but I could have requested it since I did request it for the spaghetti. It wasn't bad, though I think I would prefer traditional American style garlic bread to the ciabatta they used here for a place like Tony's.

Just curious what you’re eating for breakfast and lunch. Looks like you go all out at dinner time. If you don’t mind sharing what you’re spending per day on food would be interesting to know as well

The receipts are what I'm spending, basically. In order to, ummm, minimize my weight gain on this trip I am not really eating anything between what you see here. I was already doing intermittent fasting before I arrived (16 hours fasting, 8 hours eating) so it's sort of the same thing.
