But of course: Harlem Globetrotters to visit Famous 4th Street tomorrow

And now, a rare instance of Philly food meets exhibition sports news: Tomorrow at 11 a.m., two exquisitely nicknamed Harlem GlobetrottersBig Easy Lofton and Buckets Blakes — will be taking their to the streets to debut a brand-new 4-point shot as part of their "4 Times The Fun" Tour at — you guessed it — Famous 4th Street Deli (700 S. Fourth St.). As usual, they’re doin' it for the kids and bringing students from the nearby St. Peter’s School to cheer them on as they sink shots from 35 feet out (that's 12 feet beyond the NBA's 3-point line). So follow the whistled tune of "Sweet Georgia Brown" to Fourth and Bainbridge for a giant pastrami on rye and a big taste of Globetrotter glory.
