The List.

The day that I have been anxiously awaiting for an entire week has arrived! The day that I got to pick up all of my 52 gift certificates. This has just reinforced my excitement for this entire process. Last week I was beyond excited, but as this week went on the anticipation slowly drizzled. However after stepping outside of the District of Philadelphia doors with a huge envelope in my hands, my eagerness quickly returned. I even thought I saw a girl smile at me on the street. She knew. Below you will find the 52 restaurants that I will get to experience for free, or for a lesser price at least. I will also be noting the expiration date & putting them in alphabetical order for my own OCD sake. Weee, let the adventures begin!
