City Food Tours

 

This 3-hour tasting adventure in Center City is sure to tantalize your tastebuds and leave you feeling warm and happy inside. With less than 20 minutes of total walking and well over 2 hours indoors enjoying some tasty treats, this culinary adventure begins with a made-to-order panini at the first tour stop and gets better from there!  Tastings include a variety of exotic loose-leaf teas at Tbar, decadent chocolates at Naked Chocolate Café and a flight of 3 fine wines at Tavern 17.

In addition to the light meal and special pre-arranged tastings at three of Philadelphia's best specialty food shops and restaurants, every tour includes an informative, fun, and interactive discussion about how the foods you sample are made and how they have shaped history, and a behind-the-scenes view of the industry through the eyes of proprietors and chefs, and the opportunity to ask any questions you have informative tips about what to look for in truly great food.

Hedgerow Theatre

 

Hedgerow's 8th annual Ray Cooney farce! Mr. Hardcastle has promised a large inheritance to the only child of his late best friend and business partner. When Billy Hickory Wood arrives to claim it, a seemingly endless string of mistaken identities, unrequited romances, and hilarious confusion cause this bubbly farce to boil over in a bevy of laughs.

Max Maven Thinking in Person

“A NEW FORM OF PARTICIPATORY THEATRE.” — People Magazine The New York Times said MAX MAVEN THINKING IN PERSON is a “category-defying mind-reading show that veers into CONCEPTUAL ART.” More than just the world’s foremost mind-reader, Max Maven brings a new form of participatory theatre to the world involving hundreds of minds… including yours. Audiences from Russia to England to Argentina to Japan (yes, he speaks fluent Japanese) have been ASTONISHED and ENTERTAINED by Maven’s bizarre brand of MENTAL MAGIC. Armed with an acerbic wit and what the Los Angeles Times called “CHARISMATIC ANIMAL MAGNETISM,” Max explores a wide variety of topics from abstract painting to Kabuki theatre, from theology to higher mathematics. The Chicago Tribune, called it “WONDERFULLY ESOTERIC.” Audiences in more than two-dozen countries agree. So don’t miss your opportunity to be dazzled by the NEW YORK DEBUT of MAX MAVEN THINKING IN PERSON. It’s Magic, Mystery and Mentalism to the MAX! And it’s an evening you’ll never forget.
