Better Than Sex

With a name like 'Better Than Sex,' the dessert restaurant in Key West is setting itself up for either failure or your in for a fantastic night.

We ordered the special, a chocolate stout cake and irish coffee ice cream. The cake, while only one slice, was big enough for more than two people. The cake was moist and dense, with a very thick, sweet and delicious fudge-like ice cream.

The irish coffee ice cream was sweet and still had that boozy taste underneath, while not tasting like alcohol. The two items went together very well and were absolutely delicious.

The atmosphere at Better Than Sex is very, well, sexy. The lights are very dim and each table is lit by candles and tables are given small flashlights to read the menu and play the card games at the table.

While walk ins are welcome, get seated faster by making a reservation.

Grim Philly Twilight Tours

Philadelphia is full of tour group opportunities for visitors to the city.  If you'd like to try something a little more fun and interesting than the standard historical tour or ghost tour, definitely give Grim Philly Tours a try.  We did the "Vampires, Sex, Ghosts!...& so much more" tour and were glad we did.

The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable.  For all of the stories he told, he made sure to also cite the sources of where they came from.  I don't want to give away any specific stories, but the tour started at Independence Visitor's Center, worked its way to Washington Square and wound its way to Welcome Park to give people a good bit of depth of Independence National Historical Park.

Whether you're a local or someone visiting from out of town, this is a tour well worth visiting.  However, if you're taking children with you, definitely be aware that there are some things told on the tour that aren't meant for youngsters.
