Girls’ Day

by Mary Melnick

Jun 19, 2024

A couple weeks ago, my friends and I went out for a girls’ day in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, one of our favorite places for a day out. In summer, Phoenixville blocks off its main street, Bridge Street, so restaurants and bars can put out more outdoor tables for guests to enjoy summer temperatures. Even though we like to go there any time of year, we especially like to go in summer to take advantage of all the outdoor seating.

We started our day at a winery called Vintner’s Table by Folino Estate. After looking over the menu, we all decided to try different wine flights. I picked the sangria flight, which came with a lemon, peach, honeysuckle and rhubarb. I started with rhubarb because I thought it was going to be my least favorite, but, to my surprise, it was good and even ended up being one of my favorites. After we finished our flights, we all wanted to try a different type of wine, so I ordered a glass of the Pinot Grigio, which I really enjoyed. winery winery

After the winery we decided it was time to go get some food, so we went to our favorite place, Bistro on Bridge. We ordered a bunch of different appetizers to split including fries, cheesesteak egg rolls, a Bavarian pretzel and mozzarella sticks. Once we were done eating, we headed to the upstairs part of the restaurant where there are games, a bar, picnic tables and music. While we were upstairs, we had a gossip session and a drink before heading over to another favorite, Molly Maguire’s.

Typically, Molly’s has a good live band, fun dancing and a lively atmosphere. Since we got there a little earlier than normal, the live band hadn’t started yet so we took advantage of the nice weather and went outside.

I love a good girls’ day and was so glad I got to spend some quality time with some of my closest friends.

Corendon Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel Review

There are a few words that come to mind when the subject of airport hotels comes up. Usually, fun, cute and lively aren’t on that list. When general manager Evgeny Vreijling or his team members welcome guests, they insist Corendon Amsterdam Schiphol Airport is not an airport hotel but a hotel that happens to be near the airport. He also emphasizes that, while Amsterdam is regarded as the gateway to Europe, the hotel was designed to be a gateway to the rest of the Netherlands.
