The Philadelphia Restaurant Festival will return on Thursday, June 15, to the Academy of Natural Sciences. Back for a second year, the food & drink fest will feature more than 100 samples from restaurants, caterers, breweries, wineries and distilleries.
Milkboy, Wishbone, Santucci's Original Square Pizza, Insomnia Cookies, Stateside Vodka, Conshohocken Brewing Co. and Modelo Especial are a few of the participants.
Since the event takes place in a museum, attendees will have an opportunity to explore a few of the Academy of Natural Sciences' exhibits while eating and drinking. Dinosaur Hall and Butterflies! will be open to explore.
