This past Sunday, BF and I had a belated birthday celebration
for him in Atlantic City. We had originally planned to go in August but
unfortunately, Hurricane Irene had a different plan and we had to reschedule.
Although we had to celebrate BF’s birthday a bit late this
year, it was worth the wait because I ended up scoring a great deal on Groupon
for the Borgata. It included a 1 night stay in a beautiful room, a prix fixe
dinner for 2 at Seablue, 2 tickets to a comedy show and $25 free slot spending.
Seablue was great. “the restaurant combines cutting-edge
technology and design elements with Mina's signature and acclaimed approach to
seafood. SEABLUE will showcase seasonal and pristinely fresh fish from all over
the world cooked over a wood-burning grill as well as whimsical versions of
classic American dishes.” - http://www.theborgata.com

| my bbq'd salmon with a bed of spaghetti squash & smear of more mystery squash. |
The best part of the meal....
 |
| Rocky road ice cream with whipped cream, topped with a crunchy cookie and melted chocolate. |

| OMG |
Getting out of the city was fun. It was nice to spend
some time out of the norm with my wonderful BF.
Did I love Atlantic City? No. It was fun and cute, but with a side of trashy-ness. I ended up
spending too much, drinking too much and eating too much. BUT, for a quick weekend getaway AC delivered a good time.
Have you ever been to AC? What did you think?

ReplyDeletemy parents spent their honeymoon in atlantic city in 1979. :)

I kind of always assumed AC was a little trashy, so thanks for the heads up. The restaurant looks pretty tasty though :)
ReplyDeleteI've been to AC a ton of times but never to Borgata. I always had this weird vision of it of being so flashy and dressy and that's just not me haha I'm more of a Tropicana girl LOL
ReplyDeleteYour food looks good :)
