It's Spring!

Yes it is, and you want to kow why? Not because the weather is lovely, but because the fruit carts are beginning to reappear on the streets of Philadelphia.

Fruit carts are one of the more wonderful things in this city. We have Chinese food carts, hot dog carts, falafel carts, and cheesesteak carts, of course. But we also have fresh fruit carts. For $2 - $3.50 you get fresh cantaloupe, honeydew, strawberries, pineapple, and mango - along with a banana for dessert. Imagine, one of the fattest cities in the country, and yet you can get this on pretty much any corner in Center City.

I had my first fruit salad of the season today for lunch, which I have documented below. Hello, spring!
