{things i did} brunch with a view

I can't stop thinking about our mini getaway to a very snowy Pennsylvania so here's a throwback to a delicious brunch we had on a lazy Sunday. The best part of it all had to be the view–just look at that peaceful winter scenery–though the chocolate-laden dessert spread was a close second (I practically cleared out those coated strawberries). I love a good bit of history and we got it here in The Circular: the restaurant opened in the 1930s after Milton Hershey commissioned a "dining room" without corners (hence the name) and completely unobstructed views of his hotel's formal gardens through gorgeous stained glass. Take a look at how it appeared in 1934–pretty uncanny, right? It's all proof that good taste never goes out of style.
