Dishcrawl coming to Philly
You've been to pub crawls - but how about a Dishcrawl?
Dishcrawl coming to Philly
You've been to pub crawls — but how about a Dishcrawl? The West Coast-based startup is hosting its first event in Philly on Tuesday, Jan. 24 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., organized by ambassador Michelle Cryder.
"I've lived in Philly for the past five years and I recently spent about six months in San Jose. Dishcrawl is huge there, and the concept immediately made me think of home," says Cryder. "We've got so many incredible restaurants in easily walkable neighborhoods, and I loved the idea of giving people an opportunity to get a crash course in a certain neighborhood's food. I think it's a great way for food nerds like myself to get to know their city and have a pretty rare opportunity to actually meet the people preparing it."
Northern Liberties is first up, and though the restaurants participating are top-secret surprises for crawlers, there will be four of them, three offering savory small plates and the fourth doing dessert. When the group arrives, the chef or owner comes out to greet everyone and share some info about the dish, then people help themselves to a plate. Crawlers spend about 30 minutes at each venue, mingling and enjoying the food.
All 30 spots sold out in four hours yesterday, so Cryder is adding another 30 for sale today. Tickets are $39 (drinks separate), and reservations can be made on Dishcrawl's event page. If you miss this one, no sweat; Cryder is planning on hosting Philly crawls on a monthly basis. They're on Twitter at @dishcrawlPHL.
