Another weekend of "Pippin" is behind me. I can't believe we only have two more shows. I hate the end of a show; I feel like I have nothing to do with my time. I am auditioning for the next show tonight, but we'll see how that goes. I hope you have gotten a chance to come see it if you're in town!

Today I am starting a new challenge. I have an old issue of Richmond Magazine at my desk that I flip through every now and again. Today I noticed the article about the top fifty places to eat in Richmond. Well, I love me some top (insert number here) things to (insert activity here) in (insert location here). So I have challenged myself to eat at all fifty places over the next eight months (the length of my internship) and write about it. The article has suggestions of what to get at these places, but some of the items I'd rather pass. A lot of places are close to my work, so yay I can walk!

50 Fantastic Food Finds Challenge

1. Lift Coffee Shop and Cafe

Lift is a really neat coffee shop on Broad Street. I have gone there once, but I did not order anything last time. This time I decided to go there for lunch today. The prices are very reasonable; I spent a total of $8.85 on my sandwich and side. I ordered the Chicken Pesto panini with fruit salad (I wanted pasta salad... but fruit salad is a healthier option). So yeah it's a little much for my budget as the broke intern, but it was worth it. This sandwich was everything I hoped. The provolone cheese tops off the pesto and makes for a tasty treat. The panini is not over toasted, and it's pretty solid. It tastes great! Lift has really great service, too. The people who work there were pleasant and really quick! If you're in Richmond and need a Starbucks alternative, Lift is a great option!

That's all I have for now. Stay posted. Tomorrow I'll discuss Social Media, because lately I've been obsessed like everyone else :P
