Historic Old City Dine Around
This tour combines two of Philly’s best contributions to the country: its history and its food!
Starting with some favorite hearty snacks, we'll take the edge off with a refreshing local cider (yes, the full pint!). But pace yourself because dining stop #2 isn't far. There, we'll have your munchies satiated with gourmet snacks with loads of toppings, along with a stiff cocktail (yes, the full serving again). Want more? Next stop up is some flavorful Creole with another local beverage before rounding out the tour with a sweet take-home collection from the country's oldest confectionery.
Come hungry, leave tipsy, and be in-the-know about Philadelphia’s rich history. We’ll serve you food, drinks, sweets, Ben Franklin, the Liberty Bell, and much more! While the foods during the 17th and 18th centuries may have been bland, we’re serving modernized versions of these foods and drinks that would have the colonials jealous. Learn about Philadelphia’s history in the tastiest way possible.
