Wow, what a way to celebrate an anniversary. Saturday night my husband and I dined at Fond Restaurant in Philadelphia. We were escorted through the restaurant, whisked through the kitchen where the whole staff stopped to welcome us, and into their rear courtyard. It was so romantic, a single table for two with candles, Tiki torches and twinkle lights hanging from the trellis walls in a beautiful garden atmosphere; a great way to spend a few hours alone and no restaurant noise. As we looked at the lush vegetation I noticed out of the corner of my eye, a fig tree. Well you know what they say, everyone in South Philly dreams of having a fig tree in their backyard….of course I started craving figs and was hoping they would magically appear on the menu.
There Should Be a Fig Tree in Every South Philly Backyard!
