National _____ Days are really only noteworthy when there's a price break in it for us, and so much the better if that deal extends well beyond the one actual day in question. So hey, guys, National Pisco Sour Day is coming up! And that means that Chifa (707 Chestnut St.) will be serving up $5 pisco sours from official National Pisco Sour Day (Fri., Feb. 1) right through a whole bunch of bootleg, nonsanctioned Pisco Sour Days, until Sun., Feb. 10. Above, you're looking at their signature pisco sour, a.k.a the “Diego Vega,” which features the grape brandy known as pisco shaken with fresh lime juice and egg whites.
It's been a while since we shared any collaborative cupcake news with you, so here's some: how about the result of a mash-up of Tattooed Mom, Cookie Confidential, Art in the Age, Sailor Jerry, and Spodee? No, really! This Thursday, Jan. 31, Tattooed Mom (530 South St.) will be selling Heatmiser cupcakes, baked by Cookie Confidential and based on the T-Mom cocktail of Spodee, Sailor Jerry rum, and SNAP liqueur. The cakes will go for $4 a pop and will be available "for a limited time."
Chinese New Year is coming up and bringing with it festivities at Sampan (124 S. 13th St.)—namely, a special menu that will be available on Feb. 10 and 11 only and will feature performances from the Pennsylvania Chinese Dance Club. The family style meal is $55 per person (entertainment included), and runs a full six courses. Think pu pu platters, dan dan noodles, peking duck and more.
