2000 European Trip, Part 9
We finally conclude our day in Disneyland Paris. The next day, we went all around Paris, with our first stop being a visit to Notre Dame de Paris.
The Grey Lodge Pub
Our final stop in Philadelphia came on the second morning of our trip at The Grey Lodge Pub. Sure, we got there at 11am for brunch and you may think that’s too early for a beer. Well, it probably was but that certainly didn’t deter us from our goal of having a beer at each place.
Ludwig’s Garten and Monk’s Café
After we finished our one beer at Tria, we got out of there as fast as we could so we get some food at Ludwig’s Garten. We must have been tired because we barely finished our food – some, not at all – and had difficulty killing our beers. But, god damn, do I love me some schnitzel.

Tria
Having made our way into Philly, the next bar on our list was Tria. Located in downtown Philadelphia, it’s a long but narrow space with a too many people crammed into a confined area. The atmosphere was a little too highbrow for my tastes but it did have a few decent beers on tap.
The Drafting Room Taproom and Grille
Our first stop of the weekend on the Beer Advocate Top 50 list – The Drafting Room Taproom Grille in Exton, just outside of Philadelphia. This was my favorite stop of the weekend as far as places on the list went. The only drawback was the smoking in the taproom but, as this is not New York City, there wasn’t really anything that could be done to prevent that.
Capone’s Restaurant
This past weekend, we trekked out to Pennsylvania to notch another four places off of the Beer Advocate Top 50 list. Before we got to a place that was on the list, we made a stop at Capone’s in Norristown, PA to buy some hard to get beers. While we were there, we had a beer – plus a sample of one not on the tap list.
2000 European Trip, Part 8
From Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, we continued on that most venerable of Disney attractions, It’s a Small World.
Cee’s Post-Thanksgiving Dinner
Cee hosted dinner at her place the night after Thanksgiving. I don’t think any of us were suffering from a post-turkey coma – oh, the awesomeness of Asian Thanksgiving meals.
Thanksgiving Dinner
Thanksgiving dinner this year was, as always, at my parents’ home in Brooklyn. Alas, there was no turkey this year – only hot pot.
The finished char siu and ribs.
Kaylin’s First Birthday Party
Kaylin, Linda and KK’s daughter, had her first birthday party a little over a week ago.
