University City Dining Days

If you’re looking for something a little more substantial than Center City Sips, you’re in luck: it’s University City Dining Days!  Now through next Sunday, almost 30 restaurants are offering dinner specials for $15, $25, or $35.  So grab a friend and go!

Maybe you want some gyoza (my fav!) and mushroom wontons, niku jaga and shio buta, and dorayaki at coZara:

These beautiful sandals are very reminiscent of traditional Japanese footwear, aren’t they?  The shoe base is shiny black lacquer, and the straps are floral-printed in nine different color choices.  Yours for $24 from Ali Express.

Feeling more like Mexican?  Head to Distrito for chicharrones and esquites, huarache de costillas and tacos de pollo, and brazo Gitano:

The Mexican Embroidered Pump by Nicholas Kirkwood is a pointed-toe pump embroidered in light blue, dark blue, red, orange, purple, yellow… they’re all here!  The 3.5-inch heel is covered in red patent leather, and it’s trimmed in red as well, which is a nice touch.  There’s a padded insole as well, to help you stay comfy!  Find them at Saks for $595.

How about Indian?  Head over to New Delhi for bhojia, channa masala, garlic naan, and kulfi:

This pair of traditional Indian shoes is beautifully beaded in such pretty colors, isn’t it?  Pink flowers, blue flowers, green flowers… and the rest of the body is pink!  This will look really pretty under jeans when fall comes too.  Yours for $35 from Light in the Box.

Hmm, now I’m hungry.  Here I come, University City!
