Ma was in town last month for a visit. Mr J and I took advantage of an in-house grandparent, left her with the kids, and skeedaddled off to the city for a rare overnight outing (Thanks, Ma!!!!)
In our BK (before kids) days Mr. J and I used to lounge away some of our Saturday afternoons in the city. Lunch at IHOP near Rittenhouse Square (no longer there), a leisurely look in Barnes & Noble (still there) or maybe a movie at the Ritz. We revisited those times by staying near Rittenhouse and taking a nice long walk over to the theater, pausing to see the Liberty Bell and sitting on a bench in the shade. On the way back we stopped for dinner. The desserts at the restaurant were not as tempting as one might hope so further along we stopped again at the Naked Chocolate Cafe. Ah, bliss. I had a lemon bar, very tasty. The cupcakes also looked inviting, not the tarted up confections you find in the grocery stores these days, but elegant, classic desserts at home anywhere. Just about everything there looked good. If you haven't been there definitely give it a try.

what? no hot chocolate? their "European style" is unreal -- it's like the espresso of hot chocolate, either rich and dense (the flavor I had was almost like hot pudding) or strongly flavorful (Spouse's spicier pick). a must try.
:)
It was a little hot for hot chocolate when we were there, but definitely next time....
