Afternoon Snacks
Metropolitan Café updates, insane ice cream sandwiches, and a little chili-and-beer competition, all on today's Afternoon Snacks!
Confused about the open-but-not-yet-really-open new Metropolitan Café (264 S. 19th St.)? You’re not alone. As of now it looks like the new concept is still a couple of weeks away, though they have been using the new space in limited capacity (selling coffee and bread) while they were doing some reno work on the existing bakery next door. Come Monday, things will be back to normal at 262 S. 19th St.—and we’ll all have to continue to wait patiently for the sandwiches and fennel pretzels with Victory porter mustard. The official café opening date should come toward the end of this month.
Um, look. We don’t really have the words for this, so please just check out this beautiful weekend special Cookie Confidential (517 S. 5th St.) is teasing us with on Instagram: yup, that’s two Popcorn & Peanuts cookies sandwiching a scoop of caramel corn ice cream. Rolled in potato chips. WE’RE SORRY.
If you’ve got the competitive spirit and a special knack for crafting chili or spicy winter ales (or both!), you might want to set aside the afternoon of Sun., Feb. 10 for the Philadelphia Homebrew Club’s Winter’s Warmers: Chili Cook-off and Winter Ales Competition. The event will be held from noon to 6 p.m. at the Crane Arts Building (1400 N. American St.) and is open to everyone. Competitors get in for free (if you register here by Feb. 2), but if you just want to eat and drink your way through the afternoon, it’ll set you back $15.
