With A Little Help From My Friends

As I recount my time at Penn, it is moments like these that make me remember how lucky I am to have such amazing friends. Love you guys, to many more great memories together <3

Celebrating in Extravagance

Barclay Prime is as close as it gets to the meaning of opulence in Philadelphia. $100 cheesesteaks, Wagyu strips, a wine list the size of a textbook... no regrets.

Wagyu beef sliders + cheese popover + West Coast oysters and king crab

Lobster bisque + kale salad + roasted bone marrow

10 oz. Satsuma Wagyu NY Strip from Kyushu Island, Japan
Sides of tator tots and brussels sprouts + dessert of fresh fruit and creme fraiche

If you've never tried wagyu steak before, trust me when I say that it's about as good as it gets (in Philly and most other places). The meat is so marbled and full of flavor that each piece basically melts in your mouth with every bite. To top off that experience even further, we were each offered a choice of a steak knife - all designer knives that you would see hanging in the cases of William Sonoma. The Shun steak knife we all chose (not diverse at all, I know) cut through everything as if it were softened butter. Is it weird that the knife made the whole experience that much more fun?

Revel-ing in Atlantic City

Took a casual road trip to AC with a few friends to take advantage of our last days as seniors; from forgotten wallets to in-suite champagne, it was definitely a memory of a lifetime. Photos from our dinner at The Continental:
