Afternoon Snacks: Weekend Edition
Lots of oceanic eats going on to celebrate the end of summer on today's Afternoon Snacks.
Afternoon Snacks: Weekend Edition
For this edition of Afternoon Snacks we've got all sorts of summery seafood happenings.
For all of those who didn't make it down the shore this year, the Piazza at Schmidt's (1050 N. Hancock St.) has got you covered. Head over to Northern Liberties on Saturday the 18th for the 1st Annual Beach Bonanza. Sunbathe, enjoy the music and celebrate summer from 3 to 10 p.m. in your swimsuit for an urban day at the beach. There will be kiddie pools for the kids and beach-inspired cocktails for the parents, so bring your family. Food trucks Delicias, Jimmies Cupcakes, Lucky Old Souls Burgers, Spot Gourmet Burgers, Pork and Steaks and Sweetbox Cupcakes will be there to provide refreshments all day.
Russet (1521 Spruce St.) is bringing the ocean to you for their final event in the “Meet the Farmer Series” on August 22nd with a Seafood Tasting Menu featuring the Steve Bowes Organic Family Farm from Milton, PA. The seafood will be locally and sustainably sourced and paired with fresh, pesticide-free tomatoes, corn, eggplants and peppers from the farm. Call 215-546-1521 to get your name down for this 5-course $65 prix fixe. Seafood line up looks like this:
