NEMI MEXICAN RESTAURANT + BAR in Philly
Tinsel & Tine’s look at NEMI MEXICAN: Bar and Restaurant By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Got a chance to check out NEMI a new Mexican (Latin American Fusion) restaurant and bar in Port Richmond, Philadelphia (right off Girard Exit from 95). This upscale neighborhood spot opened the weekend between Christmas and New Years. In Spanish, “Nemi” is an expression that stands for life, adventure, and the courage to live all-out and seize the day. That’s a lot for a restaurant to live up to, but I have to say, my first visit did fill me with a desire to return and explore more super chulo culinary delights. Here’s a brief…

Philly Dining – HAWTHORNES CAFE
Hawthornes Cafe (738 11th Street) describes themselves as a beer boutique and gourmet eatery. So far, I’ve only been twice for brunch.

Unfortunately, my friend Di and I were really only looking for a quick bite, as earlier we consumed a big brunch (see Hawthornes post) and were tired after shopping and a movie (See The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye post), so she ordered a salad and I had soup.

Philly Dining – DANDELION
I was actually in the mood for WARM ROAST BEEF (watercress salad, horseradish mayonnaise, beef gravy, sourdough bread) $12. However, it's more fun to try something more adventurous when sampling a new restaurant, so I went with the DUCK BOLOGNESE (strozzapreti, fried duck egg) $16. This was very savory, only I would not have been able to discern it was duck, it tasted like a very good, lean and tender beef sauce.
