Weekend Finds: The Florida Park, Falafel Sandwich, and Antiques Sales We Loved
"For my birthday a few weeks ago, my fiancé and I spent the night in Philadelphia, one of our favorite cities. Fortunately for us, the days were warm and sunny—one of the first true spring weekends, when you can sit outside comfortably without a heater and bask in the sun. We managed to hit two of chef Michael Solomonov’s restaurants, Goldie and Dizengoff, which specialize in falafel and hummus, respectively—two dishes you’ll find throughout Israel—before we headed home to New Jersey, and were surprised to discover that both meals brought us back to the trip we took to Israel together in May of 2019: the way we sat outside in the shade, life passing by, and took in the chatter of other satisfied diners; the smell of fried falafel wafting in the warm breeze; the fresh tang of zhug on our tongues; even the way we moved our wrists counter-clockwise to lift the perfect amount of hummus onto freshly baked pita."
