The Philadelphia TCC Chapter met on Sunday, Jan. 27, to hear from Larissa and Michael Milne, who just finished circumnavigating the globe and writing about the experience for the Philadelphia Inquirer. The 14 TCC members in attendance enjoyed a four-course Sicilian feast at Monsu in the Italian Market neighborhood, and heard about the Milnes’ experiences of traversing 32 countries over the course of the year. For anyone who missed the 22 articles filed by the Milnes for the paper, visit their website, www.changesinlongtitude.com.
The next gathering will be on Sunday, May 19, at 5 p.m. at Figs, a Moroccan restaurant in the Art Museum area at 25th and Meredith streets. The chapter will be celebrating its fourth anniversary at that time. The website is www.figsrestaurant.com for those of you who want to survey the menu. Please note that Figs is BYO and cash only. Please RSVP no later than Friday, May 10.
