Afternoon Snacks: Weekend Edition
This weekend we've got beer tastings, block parties and cocktail deals.
Sports, music, food and... shoes? Saturday August 4th is the Converse Block Party at 52nd and Market Streets, celebrating the union that is the Converse high-top, basketball, street culture and hip-hop. There will be live performances by hip-hop artists Stalley, Grey Sky Appeal and Moe Pope, pickup basketball games and, of course, free food. Dapper Dog and Little Baby's Ice Cream will be giving away their goods from noon until they run out, so get there early.
It's First Friday and for the Trolley Car Diner & Deli (7619 Germantown Ave.), that means BEER. They are offering a free beer tasting where their manager and beer expert will be serving his favorites. Stop by between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. for free brews.
Le Virtú (1927 E. Passyunk Ave) and Brauhaus Schmitz (718 South St.) are teaming up for a collaborative dinner by chefs Joe Cicala and Jeremy Nolen respectively. Cicala is hosting Nolen to create a menu based on northern, German-influenced Italian specialties. The four courses will be paired with wines from Trentino and Alto Adige, for $65 a head. Call 215-271-5626 to reserve your spot on Wednesday August 8th at 7 p.m.
Every Sunday for the rest of the summer, everything on Hop Sing Laundromat's (1029 Race St.) menu is only $8, including their award-winning cocktails, recently named Best of Philly. Who knew Chinatown would become your destination for a Sunday pick-me-up?
