Whiskey Bonanza at The Tail!

September is our favorite month over at The Twisted Tail, and that’s because it consists of 30 days devoted solely to the celebration of our favorite booze. Starting at 7 p.m. on Thursday, September 17, The Tail is ringing in Bourbon Heritage Month by throwing their second annual Whiskey Bonanza right in Headhouse Square. Folks attending can expect an evening abundant with libations, live music, Cheese E. Wagon food truck, and the company of fellow bourbon lovers. Most importantly, guests will stay sipping on over 60 varieties of the star beverage throughout the night, including names like Maker’s Mark, Whistle Pig, Basil Hayden, Jefferson Reserve and so much more.

Breslow Partners attends Best of Philly Party 2015

BOP_01-croppePhiladelphia Magazine threw their annual Best Of Philly party last night and it was, well, the best. Under the watchful eye of William Penn, Philadelphians and food enthusiasts alike descended upon Dilworth Park for a night of the city’s best food, drinks, and music. Here are some of our top picks for the evening:

  • Farm and Fisherman Tavern + MarketBest Kid-Friendly Restaurant, was serving corn three ways; corn pudding, charred corn, and popcorn. You can find this farm-to-table BYOB at two locations, Washington Square West and Cherry Hill.
  • Kensington Quarters, Best Butcher Shop, featured a pork head cheese that was an instant hit. In addition to a butcher shop, KQ is also a restaurant and is open for dinner Tuesday – Sunday, with a can’t-miss brunch Sunday morning.
  • Laurel, Best Restaurant, stole the show with their caramelized white chocolate pudding. Reservations are hard to come by at this East Passyunk spot, but they often alert their Twitter followers to last minute cancelations (@LaurelEPX).

Thank you Philly Mag for such a fun night, we’re already counting down to next year’s party!
