Okay, so it ain’t exactly a drive-in, but dig it: This summer, The Galleries At Moore College will be bringing Film Al Fresco to Aviator Park (right across the street from Moore at 1916 Race Street)–a new program which brings local indie filmmakers and Philadelphia food trucks together for big, outdoor screenings. The films will be shown on a big-ass outdoor screen. The filmmakers will get to introduce them and answer questions from the crowd after the credits have rolled. And all throughout, the people watching will get to gorge themselves on food truck grub. A perfect summer night out for you artsy-and-foodsy types. Here’s what the folks from Moore College have to say about it.
Dedicated to supporting the city’s community of film and food enthusiasts, Film al Fresco is a juried competition and showcase for independent filmmakers from the Greater Philadelphia region. The series expands The Galleries’ commitment to presenting the work of emerging Philadelphia-based artists and its role as a venue for exhibitions and programs that focus on innovative ideas in contemporary art and visual culture.
Film Al Fresco will run on four Fridays throughout the summer, with the films starting at dusk (or around 8pm). Check out the full schedule of films, filmmakers and food trucks after the jump.

There are very few things in the world that make as much sense as oysters in the summertime. It’s easy math; it’s common sense; it’s comfort and splendor at the same time. Oyster House on Sansom is ready for summer.
If you go for happy hour, you’ll get $1 oysters, $3 drafts (PBC Kenzinger), $3 shooters, and $5 cocktails (Brickhouse Punch). And that’s all well and good, but sometimes, when you’re feeling good, and life’s finally got your back, spending some time and money on better oysters and better drinks will really set you free. Oyster House has a new cocktail list, and pairing their liquor with the ocean liquor is the best way to take advantage of everything that makes the sea-to-land experience such a beautiful indulgence.

Judging from the dinky white microwave perched prominently in the dining area, or the tables that look like rummage from an off-brand burger joint installed without a level, or the sign advising diners to clear out after an hour, Makkah Market seems like an unlikely gourmet destination. But if there’s a better lunch-and-specialty-market combo in West Philly, I don’t know about it.
Actually, lunch is just what I use it for. But it’s open 24 hours, so I could hit it up for an egg-and-cheese if I wanted. Or blackened tilapia at the dinner hour; the other afternoon I noticed a dozen whole fish sizzling on the griddle at once.
