With #OccupyPhilly and #NightMkt dominating the social media world perhaps it is time to avoid the throngs and head to Cochon where they are celebrating their fourth anniversary.
Get a complimentary IPA or Brown ale when you order the three-course, $30 dinner. And congratulate the Cochon on four years of good cooking. Make reservations by calling 215-923-PORK.

This Sunday three of our favorite things will be at South Philadelphia Taproom; farmhouse ales (Ommegang Hennepin, Sly Fox Saison Vos, Saison Dupont, St. Feuillien and more) Phillies playoff baseball and an all-you-can-eat collaborative dinner from chefs from Southwark, Cochon, Balthazar and SPTR.
It’s $50 for unlimited food and drink from 5 to 9pm and of course the Phillies will be on. We’ve been to one of these collaborative feasts before and it was definitely a dining highlight not to be missed.
