Philly Restaurant Serves Up A Pasta Water Martini

Philly Restaurant Serves Up A Pasta Water Martini

We've seen some creative cocktails pop up on menus over the past few years.

Whether it be names of the cocktail or ingredients, restaurants and cocktail bars keep us on our feet.

I just snagged some reservations for a restaurant I have been trying to get into for months.

There is nothing I love more than pasta on a nice Philly night. The city is bussing and I am putting down red sauce and fresh angel hair.

Pasta is meant to be paired with spirits or wine. They go together like Hall and Oates, Loggins and Messina, Bert and Ernie.

So as I Google the menu for Fiorella in South Philly my eye jumps to one particular item.

That was the Dirty Pasta Water Martini.

The cocktail includes your choice of gin or vodka, olives, and of course pasta water.

The drink will run you $16 on top of the meal.

The creative cocktails and names don't stop there.

They also have the Pearant Trap featuring spice pears and The Banana Stand made with bananas and chocolate bitters

Fiorella is another restaurant owned by celebrity Chef Marc Vetri.

According to their website Fiorella "In a nod to the rich history of Fiorella, Marc kept as much of the storefront intact as possible and restored most of the space to it’s original grandeur. Because of this, the Fiorella you see today is still the intimate space you’re used to. Seating options include our outdoor patio and indoor dining, where you will find a selection of antipasti, pasta, and dessert. Marc brings decades of technique and experience to the small space, creating a truly unique dining experience. "

Fiorella is located at 817 Christian St, Philadelphia, PA 19147.

Delaware Ranked As The Best State To Work From Home In

Times have changed dramatically over the last few years.

The pandemic really put the "work from home" mindset to the forefront of our thoughts.

According to WalletHub Delaware is the best state for working from home!

"During the COVID-19 pandemic, many businesses adopted a work-from-home structure in order to stay afloat. While life has returned almost to normal now, plenty of workplaces have kept this structure in place. In fact, 12.7% of full-time employees now work entirely from home, while another 28.2% have a hybrid schedule with some time at home and some time at their employer’s building."

WalletHub also said that the best work-from-home conditions include low costs, reasonable comfort and a high level of security. This means Delaware scores high in all of those.

So why is Delaware ranked as the best state to work from home?

Delaware ranked first overall in this new list. The first state ranked 2nd overall in work environment and 11th overall in living environment. Share of workers working from home, share of potential telecommuters, household internet access, and cybersecurity all factored into work environment.

Living environment included average price of electricity, internet cost, average home square footage, and share of for sale homes with pools.

Delaware does not have the most people working from home in the country. Washington D.C. takes the crown there with Colorado, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, and Washington. North Dakota had the best rates for internet access in the country.

New Jersey wound being ranked 5th overall in the best states for remote work list. Pennsylvania was ranked 18th and Maryland ranked 3rd! Delawareans and Marylanders have it good!

New Jersey was also ranked 4th in household internet access.
