July 17: Philly Stake at Bartram's Garden
Save the date July 17 for a BYOB(lanket) picnic with Philly Stake at Bartam’s Garden (54th Street and Lindbergh Avenue). Don’t know Stake? It’s a recurring nomadic dinner party at which diners are presented with proposals for community-engaged projects over cheese plates, whole-grain salads and potato-leek soup with optional bacon. At the end of the meal, everyone votes, and the winner gets the proceeds from the dinner to enact their endeavor, say, a creative workshop for veterans or a community garden for Burmese refugees, both previous Stake victors. It's like Shark Tank, with artisanal pickles.
The 10 proposals for the July 17 picnic range from letter-pressed matching games for autistic kids to yellow-bus transportation for a zombie dance troupe. See the whole list here, then order pre-sale tickets here. (You can also buy tickets in person at Shot Tower Coffee or at the door.) The Stake dinner is $20 and goes from 5 to 8 p.m., with an optional pre-dinner twilight tour of Bartram’s with curator Joel Fry for an additional $5 to $10. Sneak-peek the menu at phillystake.org; we hear there might also be tamales.
