Ready or not, Movember's here

POSTED: Thursday, November 1, 2012, 11:51 AM

Well, if you're thinking about getting shaved at a bar, it must be Movember 1st. We hope, anyway. But if you're going to eschew shaving your upper lip for the next 30 days for a good cause, the way to do it is definitely with an Art of Shaving razor shave and a little carousing—thankfully, the folks at Frankford Hall (1210 Frankford Ave.) have got you covered on both fronts.

Free shaves for Movember participants are on offer tonight from 6 to 8 p.m., but the happy hour specials continue all night. That means food specials, as well as $10 liter drafts and $5 half-liters. And since the whole point of Movember is to raise awareness for men's health issues like prostate and testicular cancer, there will be some giveaways to further encourage guys to get involved: the first 25 registrants get one of the Hall's giant soft pretzels for free, and everyone else who registers on-site gets entered into a raffle for one of three $100 gift cards to Starr restaurants.

Not that you need any more motivation, but on the "it can't hurt" tip, some local icons will be attending the party: former Phil Tommy Greene, Temple coach Fran Dunphy, Top Chef Kevin Sbraga, and of course, the Phillie Phanatic himself. So even if you're a little reluctant to wear a 'stache (like some of our favorite chefs), at least you'll know you're in great company.
