Sadly to say I'm not featuring a cafe this week but instead a dishcrawl experience! Last weekend, I went on a dishcrawl with super-sweet event planners, Tracy Lee(twitter@ladyleet) and Sara Spivey (twitter@saraspivey).
Now, a dishcrawl, in my words, is restaurant hopping: having a couple dishes at a restaurant, then hopping to another for a couple more dishes! I was thrilled and slightly over-excited to discover fantastic restaurants that I never knew about.
I'm sure you want to see the pictures now :D
Tracy and Sara did an amazing job! All the restaurants were walking distance from each other and both had extremely good knowledge of what to order.
The first stop we made was Peruvian cuisine at--
