Afternoon Snacks
Today on Afternoon Snacks we've got a stay-cation happy hour and burger madness.
Vacation time is upon us, and Twenty Manning Grill (261 S. 20th St.) is helping the poor souls who are stuck in town get away for at least two hours every week. Each Wednesday will bring a new internationally themed “friendly hours” special between 5 and 7 p.m. Past getaways have brought snackers and sippers to France and Italy, and today they're taking you to Greece. Lamb kabobs, sun-dried tomato hummus, Fresca Averoff “Savatiano-Roditis) and a Metaxa cocktail are on the choose 3 for $20 menu.
Pizza meets burger at recently opened Italian restaurant Barra (239 Chestnut St.), which is branching out from Italian classics to cater to Philadelphian taste with their new Barra Brick Oven Burgers, 8 oz. Wagyu burger enveloped in a light, flakey sesame seed pizza dough. You can try this ingenious marriage during lunch (weekdays 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.) starting August 13th. All burgers come with fries and a dipping sauce. Here's the pizza-burger line up:
The Americano
American cheese, house made pickles, diced onions and “special sauce”
The Mushroom Wiz Wit
Fontina cheese wiz, wild mushrooms, fried onions, spicy chili ketchup
The Roman Burger
Provolone, Genoa salami, fresh arugula, Roma tomatoes and basil pesto aioli
Tonight as a part of R2L's (2 Liberty Place, 37th floor) Celebrity Bartending Series, District Attorney Seth Williams will be behind the bar to support the Pet Support Phashion Charity Affair (PSPCA). Every Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m., R2L invites a different “Philebrity” to bartend to benefit a charity of their choice, with $1 from each drink going toward the cause. For tonight only, chef Stern has created a special DA Burger to generate some more money for the PSPCA. With Pat LaFrieda beef, grilled bacon and salami, Gruyere cheese, french fries, collard slaw, heirloom tomato, caramelized onion and the house special sauce, this is truly a monster of burger with a price to match. But that's ok, because out of the $22 you'll spend on this biggie, $5 will go towards the PSPCA. Do it for the animals!
