Meet Dana of What the Frock? She’s fabulous AND she’s about to introduce us to Rosemary Honey Goat’s Milk Gelato…Really Dana? I’m dying over here! Thanks!
Hello, Glitter and Ganachers! I’m Dana from What the Frock? and I was so excited when Tabitha asked me to represent Philly in her city gift series. I’m a proud Philadelphian born and raised, and I can’t wait to share some of our greatest gifts with all of you.
1. Capogiro Gelato
Just a few weeks ago, National Geographic named Philly gelateria Capogiro the best ice cream in the entire world. My own opinion? Well, a few weeks ago, I spent a week in Italy where I ate gelato every single day (don’t judge) and went to Capogiro the day after I returned home. And guess what – Capogiro was far superior to anything I ate in Italy. The flavors are unique, artisanal and droolworthy: including Rosemary Honey Goat’s Milk, Spicy Chocolate, Mascarpone with Heirloom Apple and Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla.
The best thing about Capogiro: they deliver, y’all! So you can place an order and have it sent anywhere in the U.S.! Believe me, whoever gets this as a gift will love you forever.
2. DiBruno Brothers Cheesebox
If you’re looking for a gift for a Philadelphian (or Philly ex-pat), I think that some subway art would be an awesome gift. Here is my favorite from Etsy.
4. Prints from You Wanna Talk Jive
Local Philly artist (and my friend) Shannon Collins creates these absolutely adorable animal prints, which she sells in her Etsy shop.
Giiirl, I was smiling my head off at how cute your post is (and how much I want to order capogiro right now) when I saw you posted my illustrations. You are too darn sweet, thank you! I am seriously blushing over here. Major hearts coming your way!
I’m wondering how they ship the gelato? I may just need to order to find out…although, I’m sure getting it fresh in Phili doesn’t compare to some flash frozen shipment.
I’m curious about this too- we should order it, and then we can have a gelato party!
Yummy!
You can see how they ship it here: https://www.capogirogelato.com/order/index.php
“Orders arrive frozen in an insulated, reusable box. You must be present to receive the shipment, as gelati and sorbetti get cranky if left out in the heat. Immediately place gelati and sorbetti in the freezer upon receipt. UPS will leave the package in a secure place, if available.”
Thanks Dana!
And thanks for the deliciousness too!
