Food + Drink Goals

#9: Go To 52 New Restaurants – 30 Before 30 List

September 11, 2010

Last Updated:

#9 on my 30 Before 30 List was to go to one new restaurant (or coffee shop/bar) per week or 52 in total. So three months into my project, it appears that I’m done! I think my dining out budget can attest to this one being completed. I’ll blame it on working from home. :)

I love trying new places, so this was a really fun project to cross off my list. I might just keep adding to the list for the rest of the year. I also love taking pictures of my food, so a recent obsession has been the Foodspotting iPhone app.

    You also went to the Blossoming Lotus with me. I thought they had great food, quality ingredients and delicious. Atmosphere could use something though…a smile?
