“I loved the variety of restaurants and the collabs of different restaurants. It was fun to be able to try things from restaurants you can’t always get to.”
“The Bake Off was incredible. The outside lounge space and the DJ were great. It was a really cool space and venue and I loved the fun atmosphere.”
“I liked the opportunity to also see local performers. Zinadelphia and Snacktime were really great!!”
“Really enjoyed the Stephen Starr interview and the DJ.”
“The acclaimed chefs/restaurants there left me starstruck and in awe.”
“The cake decorating and pasta making were great! The hands-on experiences were really fun, and getting to leave with a souvenir is a huge plus.”
