Last Friday, Jen and I went to check out the Federal Donuts event at Art in the Age (creator of Root, Snap and Rhuby). If you’ve read much on this site, you’ll know that not only are these two of our favorite things in Philly, but we love combining them too! Needless to say, we were pretty excited to see what they came up with.

It's a Date
Bellwether and Richlane make for quite the pair

It being Monday, it means the time has come to decide what you'll be eating on Friday.

Drinks: When you’ve finished dinner, march yourselves across the street to Richlane. The simple wood-focused design lets the drinks stand out. Nightcaps are made of Maiden’s Milk ($10). Magically rich, the steamed whole milk, pear nectar, old-fashioned bitters, Snap gingersnap liqueur and a grating of cinnamon is served in a little china cup. 595 Union Ave. (at N. 11th St.), Brooklyn; 347-422-0617

The Earth-Day Spirit
Rhuby ($30):

Like a CSA in a bottle, Rhuby contains a whole garden of organic vegetables, such as beets, carrots and, of course, rhubarb. The savory liqueur was inspired by a rhubarb-tea recipe dating back to the 1700s and concocted by a botanist friend of Benjamin Franklin’s. With aromas of lemon, cardamom, coriander and vanilla, it’s a perfect spring refresher mixed with tonic.
