Afternoon Snacks
Apple festivals, news from brand-new Redwood, and a celebration of local spirits, all on today's Afternoon Snacks!
Afternoon Snacks
On today's Afternoon Snacks, we've got apple-centered revelry in Bucks County, a look at the bar at Redwood, and a whole month of local liquor appreciation.
If an apple festival in a charming, old-timey setting sounds good to you, well then we guess that makes you a thinking, feeling human being made of flesh and blood. And happily for all of us with hearts not made of stone, Peddler’s Village in Lahaska is having an apple festival this very weekend. On both Saturday and Sunday (Nov. 3 and 4), you can visit the quaint shopping district and go apple-crazy from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sample apples, buy them by the bushel, eat your way through heaps of apple fritters, apple butter, and caramel apples, bid on arts and crafts that may or may not be apple-related but are definitely handcrafted by local artists and artisans, and (if pictures of previous years are any indication) watch guys in festive costume juggle apples. And oh, NBD, but there’s a pie-eating contest, too. For more details, check it out here; admission and parking are both free.
Newly-opened Redwood (340 South St.) has been busy on social media today, whipping up the interest of weekend drinkers by showing off their no-joke bar setup. They’re touting 43 wines by the bottle (with many more to come), a hundred craft beers in bottles (with mixed sixes to go), 24 wines by the glass served from two wine-preserving Cruvinet systems, and 8 craft brews on tap.
November isn’t just about mustaches: at the Continental (138 Market St.) it’s also about locally produced liquor now, as today kicks off their first-ever Spirit Month. It’s really simple: all month long, you’ll pay a flat $4 for any drink featuring one of their featured Philly spirits. On the list are all of AITA’s high-test offerings (Root, Rhuby, Snap, and Sage); Philadelphia Distilling’s Bluecoat Gin, XXX Shine, and Penn 1681 Vodka; and NY-and-Philly-based Cooper Spirits’ St. Germain, Crème Yvette, and Slow & Low rye.
