A tasty happy hour at Buddakan in Caesars ended our Atlantic City adventures for Yelp’s Spring Break.

We slowly sipped full-bodied cocktails, some hot with jalapeno and gin, others smooth with an array of sweet fruit flavors, and others still, floral with lychee and sake.

We gorged on slippery dumplings bursting with spicy beef or gingered chicken or even pureed edamame with traces of truffle.

We had crunchy chicken and shrimp spring rolls and crunchy tempura vegetables, sweet, meaty and green.

And we finished with cinnamon sugar dusting our lips, residual from tiny dough pockets filled with a light cream paired with tangy sweet banana sauce.

Thanks AC (and my plus one) for the amazing time per usual!

Even though there was still snow on the ground, a great group of yelpers and their guests headed to the boardwalk and beach-front Caesars and Bally’s casinos for Spring Break Yelp-style in Atlantic City. We all partied hard and ate harder, trying out some of the most delicious bites of the casino strip in Atlantic City.

The festive activities commenced on Friday night with check-in, welcome packets and goodie bags filled to the brim with snackies, and a meet-and-greet with the tastes of Phillip’s Seafood. The happy-hour priced drinks were flowing and it was the perfect way to kick off a tasty and fun event.

The munching continued through a social media scavenger hunt featuring the eateries located in the two hotel-casinos, like The Continental (more later), Gordon Ramsay’s Pub & Grill (stay tuned for more), Boardwalk Cupcakes, and more. A board game themed party inspired by Atlantic City itself with some sweets and savories and an open bar was the culmination of the super spring break event.

My plus one and I definitely had a fun time checking out the view, playing glow in the dark mini golf, brunching and dining and grabbing additional bites from Buddakan (more about this later) and Empire Burger. We even gambled a little!
