Afternoon Snacks
This afternoon we're got an ice cream festival at Reading Terminal, a sea-foody brunch at Fish, and a hellova Dogfish beer dinner at Barclay Prime.
Afternoon Snacks
Bassett's, among America's best ice cream places, will be hosting The Ultimate Philadelphia Ice Cream Experience this Saturday July 21st from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Reading Terminal Market. I recommend skipping the other delicious RTM stands because Bassett's isn't the only one coming to the party. Pay as you go for Philly's sweetest frozen summer treats from the host, Miller's Twist, Franklin Fountain, Uncle Dave's Homemade Ice Cream and Rosati Ice. Your kids will love the arts and crafts, live music and games just about as much as they love ice cream. Stop by Center Court to get your fill!
