You may have noticed Mark and Audrey took a wee break lately from the Cheap Dates video podcast. Well, we’re happy to say, they’re BACK and better than ever! We had to change the name, and we hope you like it. We’re now… drumroll… Illadates, the video podcast made with love for all your Philly dating desires. Okay, not ALL your desires. Get that mind outta the gutter, pal.

In Episode 13 of Illadates, we decided to try something new. Let us know what you think! It’s a double date with a couple of guest stars! Writer, blogger, dandy extraordinaire, soon-to-be-portrayed-by-Johnny-Depp-on-film (truth!) Lord Breaulove Swells Whimsy and his lovely wife Lady Pinkwater brought us to some of their favorite spots in town.

We started with a fanciful walk through the lovely historical Bartram’s Garden, birthplace of American horticulture. Then, true to dandy form, we had a late afternoon aperitif at Caribou Cafe on 12 & Walnut. Beaumonde’s amazing crepes finished off our evening, but not before we stopped into Anastacia’s Antiques, a curiosity shop on Bainbridge Street not to be missed!
