A celebration of the best in regional fare, the first-ever Great Pennsylvania FlavorFest will feature treats and cooking demos from Olde Greenfield Inn and Fore Bay Lounge, among others. Chef Jim Coleman will showcase his interpretations of some traditional Pennsylvania dishes; local breweries like Swashbuckler, Stoudt's and Victory and wineries like Adams County and host Mount Hope Winery will help you wash it all down. Mount Hope Estate & Winery, 2775 Lebanon Road, Manheim, 717-665-7021, greatpaflavorfest.com.

The great American pastime and the wiener go hand in hand, which is why it's nice that the Phillies go easy on your wallet with Dollar Dog Nights. On May 26, the Phightin' Phils will treat every last one of the fans attending their home game against the Colorado Rockies to hot dogs for a buck. Talk about cheap dates. Citizens Bank Park, One Citizens Bank Way, 215-463-1000, phillies.com.

For this prix fixe dinner, chef Pippo Lamberti is pairing seafood plates with Feudi di San Gregorio wines selected by winery rep Robin Shay, who will be present to explain the couplings. Lamberti's combinations will include a squid ink seafood risotto with mussels, rock shrimp, seppia and clams; and organic Scottish salmon with lemongrass infusion. Positano Coast, 212 Walnut St., second floor, 215-238-0499, lambertis.com.

Pif regulars went into withdrawal after David Ansill closed his French restaurant last summer, but he soothed nerves by organizing BYOB "Pif Nights" at Ansill so customers could still enjoy their favorite plates. This Sunday is your last chance until fall to indulge in the chef's Pif Night menu. Specialties include warm figs with goat cheese, frisee lardones, hanger steak with mushroom, scallops with truffle coulis and more. Ansill, 627 S. Third St., 215-627-2485, ansillfoodandwine.com.

Hosted by Slow Food Philadelphia, this five-course Sicilian dinner will be rich with Italian imports. Planned in conjunction with the running of the bluefin tuna in Sicily, eats will include involtini (tuna stuffed with bread crumbs, pine nuts and currants) and maltagliata (fresh fish pan-fried and braised in an olive caper tomato sauce). Enjoy a Sicilian cheese course and a cannoli for dessert. Reservations required. Restaurant Alba, 7 W. King St. Malvern, 610-644-4009, restaurantalba.com.
