Afternoon Snacks
It's a very Fishtown First Friday on today's Afternoon Snacks!
Afternoon Snacks
On today's Afternoon Snacks, we've got a whole slate of things to do tonight in Fishtown, from ice cream and beer, to ice cream and art, to a whole night of beer sampling.
Tonight's not just any old First Friday—it’s a very Fishtown First Friday (yes, even in spite of this). First up, it's the 1st Annual Frankford Ave First Friday Tree Lighting and Prize Grab Stroll to benefit Philabundance. With a name that detailed, further explanation feels almost unnecessary, but here you go: From 6 to 8 p.m., stop by happy hour at Fishtown Tavern (1301 Frankford Ave.) for food and drink specials (featuring Yards Brawler and IPA) and to procure an ornament with a donation to Philabundance.
Between 8 and 9 p.m., take a walk along the Avenue up to Little Baby’s (2311 Frankford Ave.), where you can show your ornament for a $2 discount on any of their new holiday flavors before helping to decorate the tree by hanging your ornament. The tree lighting takes place at 9 p.m., where there will be prizes and gifts and Yards pint glasses that entitle the holder to $3 Brawlers for the rest of the night back at Fishtown Tavern.
Speaking of Fishtown and ice cream, we’ve had Zsa’s upcoming peppermint bark ice cream on the brain ever since we saw this. Looks like they’ll have it on hand at Coldhearted II, the local craft and art sale going on tonight at Philadelphia Sculpture Gym (1834 E. Frankford Avenue) from 6 to 9 p.m. Lil Dan’s will also be in attendance, in addition to a really impressive array of local crafters and artists. You can even buy raffle tickets while you’re there for the chance to win a one-year PSG membership.
And for free beer sampling, you’ll want to hit Bottle Bar East (1308 Frankford Ave.) tonight. They’re doing an all-Chimay tasting from 6 to 8 p.m., then keeping things going by sampling some winter beers until 10 p.m., with live music courtesy of the Victory North Trio throughout.
