Aug. 26: Tiki Dinner at Granite Hill
Tiki culture hounds lament Philly’s lack of Polynesian-themed watering holes. Well, their prayers have been answered, at least for one night. This Friday, August 26, Stephen Starr's Granite Hill at the Art Museum (2500 Benjamin Franklin Parkway) is putting on a tiki cocktail dinner in honor of Paul Gauguin, whose art was inspired by tropical paradises like Martinique and Tahiti. The feast will be served in a lush $65/head ($58 for members) buffet featuring butterfish satay, tuna/shrimp poke and a whole roasted suckling pig, while bartenders will be pouring rum swizzles, Zombies and other Tiki tipples. Check out the full menu after the jump, and make reservations via Granite Hill's OpenTable page.
