Afternoon Snacks
On today's Afternoon Snacks, chowder hits the streets, happy hour encroaches on your afternoon, and detoxing gets a little easier.
Afternoon Snacks
Streetside chowder for National Chowder Day, a new, early happy hour for U-City, and some help with your January detox plans, all on today's Afternoon Snacks!
Looks like this Wednesday, Jan. 23 is National New England Clam Chowder Day. That may not mean much to you, but it does mean that Oyster House (1516 Sansom St.) will be joining the street food trend and serving up chowder on the cheap, which is definitely noteworthy. They'll be outside the restaurant from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday, selling to-go portions of creamy chowder (spoon and oyster crackers included) for just $5.
Heads up, slackers: U-City's Harvest (200 S. 40th St.) now has a happy hour that runs from 4 to 6 p.m., in case you needed a new reason to skip out of work early. They've got $5 bar snacks, $5 pints of organic drafts, and $6 glasses of their signature mulled wine with warming spices, citrus, and brandy. The food specials include a selection of flatbreads (from steak and mushroom to vegetarian combos like pear and blue cheese with fig glaze), Asian BBQ skewers, and "salty, spicy, and sweet" edamame.
(If you've got a little more to spend, Harvest also has a new cocktail called the Bartram 77 for $10, $2 of which goes to the Food Trust. The drink combines organic vodka, AITA's Rhuby liqueur, apricot syrup, and pickled ginger.)
Need a little guidance to keeping on track with your resolutions for 2013? Mt. Airy's Food for All Market (7127 Germantown Ave.) has a class coming up this weekend called Cooking for Detox that might help. The cooking class is $50 and you need to call the store to register by Wednesday, Jan. 23 if you want in. The cooking class runs from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. and should provide lots of ideas and recipes for the cleansing crowd. (The shop/cafe is all gluten- and nut-free, so their classes are always allergy-friendly.)
