Come skate into spring at our $8 Skate Date, find your favorite food trucks at Spring Hill Brewing or take a class in making a cocktail that prevents scurvy

March is here and we are marching right through the last few weeks of winter. March means we are a few more weeks closer to the spring. We read all of the listings, reviews, and recommendations to pick out the best ways to beat cabin fever this weekend.

If you do one thing this weekend, come to our debut event on Sunday, March 3! Skate into spring with us and celebrate the last day of the ice skating season at our $8 Skate Date. You get to skate and sip fancy hot chocolate and it all benefits 412 Food Rescue.

Aside from our great skate date on Sunday, we’ve got some ideas to keep you warm, fed and safe from scurvy this winter season.

  • EAT // Food Truck Giddyup @ Spring Hill Brewing – What’s a Food Truck Giddyup? According to Spring Hill Brewing, it’s a food truck roundup…but just a little bit smaller. This installment features THE HUNGRY CAO (authentic Chinese fare), MR. BULGOGI (Korean fusion tacos), and PIEBIRD (scratch pastry kitchen). There’s indoor seating, so inclement weather can’t stop the giddyup.

  • LEARN // Whiskey Sour Cocktail Class @ Wigle Whiskey Tasting Room at William Penn – Does the thought of using egg whites in a cocktail intimidate you? This class will put your fears to rest, and give you the practice you need to become a more confident mixologist.  A little history of the cocktail from the Alcohol Professor:

Professional sailors suffered from scurvy and other malnutrition and sea-sicknesses, up until a bartender’s hero named Vice Admiral Edward Vernon of England began mixing a few ingredients together to serve to his crew. Sailors had a ration of various things, like limes and lemons to prevent scurvy, and liquor for something safe to drink. To prevent a ship full of intoxicated shipmates, the liquor, usually rum once it was discovered, was watered down and lemon or lime juice was added to mask the flavor of the rum. Hence, we have a very early version of the Sour.
