Want to gorge?
Amada’s Pig Roast: Sunday March 25, 4 and 7 p.m.
Starting Friday, the chefs at Jose Garces’ Spanish restaurant Amada will brine two whole pigs in sugar and salt water and then roast and season them. For $55 a person, you can have at it (plus side dishes and dessert) at one of Amada’s two seatings. For $75, you’ll get bottomless sangria.
Want to splurge?
Blackfish’s Titanic Dinner: Sunday April 15, seatings begin at 5 p.m.
In commemoration of the 100th year anniversary of the world’s most famous sunken ship (and just in time for the release of the 3D film), Chip Roman’s Blackfish will host a 10–course tasting menu riffed off the one offered to the Titanic’s first class passengers. The only catch? It’s $95 a person.
Want to get out of Philadelphia?
Young Friends of Team Jamaica’s Caribbean Restaurant Nights: Wed. April 4 and Thurs. April 5
Put on by Team Jamaica Bickie (which means "food"), a nonprofit that helps bring athletes from the Caribbean to Philadelphia for the Penn Relays, this event is Restaurant Week’s much cooler cousin (at least that’s what we’ll be telling ourselves on our fourth helping of jerk chicken). For a good cause, less than $20 and in time for summer, you’ve got no reason to miss this, unless of course you’re still waiting around for Winter.
Never want to leave?
Rocky screening at the new Nomad Pizza’s Pizza & Beer Theater: Wednesday March 28, 8:30 p.m.
They’ve already done Amelie and Rebel Without a Cause, but Nomad can’t get any more Philly than Rocky. And the pizza and beer? Well that makes them perfect for college. Prices are TBA, but we can’t imagine they’re high.
