Castle Bay Irish Pub Annapolis, MD

I went to Annapolis, Maryland and saw the statehouse and also lots of old buildings.  I went to this Irish pub and had a Sprite, chicken tenders, and fries.  The tenders were very juicy inside and the breading was crisp.  They were some of the best I've ever had.  I told the waiter that.  He said they make them from real chicken breast, not other parts.  The fries were O.K.  Average. 

We parked our car at the Naval Academy and went to the gift store and I got a rubber duck key chain and a bracelet.  We saw some uniforms and went to this big building where they play ice hockey. 


Philadelphia Museum Of Art

Delayed entry from Spring Break trip.

We stopped in Philadelphia coming from New York City to see the Philadelphia Art Museum.  I did not get to see all of it because my sister was bored and we did not have enough time but from what I saw it was amazing.  I saw a painting of sunflowers from Van Gogh and I also saw a lot of European Art from the 1500s.

I stopped by the food court and I got chicken tenders and potatoes.  The chicken tenders were average.  They came out of the bag, but the potatoes were definitely made from scratch and the spices were unique.  I stopped by the gift store and got a Van Gogh book and an art book and also a rubber band ball kit.

Heartland Brewing, Empire State Building

Delayed entry from Spring Break trip.

I was in New York City and we stopped by the Empire State Building to grab lunch.  Of course I got chicken tenders and fries and they were delicious.  The tenders had good batter and the fries were salted well and had a good texture.  I was excited to be in the Empire State Building and I also saw some other interesting places on m trip like the Statue of Liberty and FAO Schwarz.  I also went to Central Park and saw this big castle.  I had a really good time.  I wish I could have stayed there longer.

Lorenzo's Staten Island, NYC

Delayed entry from recent Spring Break trip.

I went to the restaurant in my hotel.  It was very fancy and had a bunch of different types of bread.  Even raisin bread.  They also had a pianist playing the piano.  The tenders were salted well and very filling.  I say they were better than average.  The fries were O.K.  They were nothing special.

Lancaster Brewing Company, Lancaster, PA

I went Lancaster Brewing Company in Lancaster, Pennsylvania on my way to New York City.    building was very old.  More than 100 years old.  They brew their own beer in these big tanks on the first level.  The tenders had a very hard batter with very juicy meat inside.  It was seasoned with pepper and salt.  The fries were salted well and were a little soggy, but good.  If we're ever in Lancaster again we'll go here again.



Ellicott City Brewing, Ellicott City, MD


I went to Ellicott City, Maryland and first went to this Brewpub that was in this old mill.  The batter on the tenders was definitely home made.  They were moist and seasoned well.  The potato chips were crisp and home made. They had this bar called the the Batcave and it was bat themed and it was in the basement.

I visited the town's first firehouse that was made into a museum.  We got to ring the big fire bell and see a bunch of toy fire trucks. 

Before we left we went to this cottage   that was made in the 1700s and it has replicas of what it would be like back then.

I would go here again.
