Bad News: Lobster Mania at Chick’s Social Kitchen and Bar is coming to an end in two weeks.
Good News: For the final two Tuesdays and Wednesdays in May, Chick’s will be serving up a one-pound lobster with clams, mussels, and potatoes for only $18.
We hazard to guess there won’t be a better lobster deal this season, so get it while it lasts.

Jerry’s Bar in Northern Liberties opened over the weekend for dinner. Chef Marshall Green formerly of Cafe Estelle is in the kitchen. Green is known for his great brunch, which will be served at Jerry’s on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. starting in June. The highlights of the brunch menu include a cream cheese walnut sticky bun, multiple types of pancakes, French toast, steak and eggs, a brunch burger and a falafel and hummus sandwich.
Dinner at Jerry’s is served daily from 5 p.m. until 1 a.m. with dishes like smoked trout salad, wings, meatballs and toast, escargots, a fried haddock sandwich, steak frites, and potato gnocchi.
Jerry’s Bar is the same name and location as one of Northern Liberties last dive bars but you’ll be hard-pressed to find much of that bar in the updated version.
