If you are dreading going back to work this Monday, remember that this week is Cinco de Mayo. That means there will be plenty of ways to celebrate, drink, and eat good food. There are also new restaurant specials available, and a few other good foodie events in Bucks County this week.
Happening “Happitizers.” The Pineville Tavern‘s new “Happitizer” program is starting this Monday, May 2. In addition to half price alcohol and appetizers, the restaurant is going to start offering the most popular menu items made-to-order for their guests. This is the Pineville’s way of rewarding its customers with a signature menu item between 5 – 7 pm. Here’s the weekly schedule:
Mondays: Ravioli & Gravy
Tuesdays: Fried Chicken Wings
Wednesdays: Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes
Thursdays: Porchetta Sandwiches
Fridays: Million Dollar Bacon
Eating wild. Want to learn a thing or two about eating healthy “in the wild?” This Tuesday, May 3 the Bucks County Foodshed Alliance and the Bucks Chapter of Buy Fresh Buy Local presents an educational talk by forager and food preserver Susan Pierson, who is taking a look at food activist Jo Robinson’s popular book, Eating on the Wild Side: The Missing Link to Optimal Health. The presentation starts at 7 pm and ends at 8:30 pm at the Bucks County Free Library in Doylestown. Registration is not required, no charge, and donations will be accepted.
Whiskey dinner. The Stockton Inn is launching a five-course whiskey dinner, partnering with Dad’s Hat Pennsylvania Rye Distillery, starting on Wednesday, May 4. The inn’s Chef Alan Heckman will pair the rye with a colonial inspired menu.
“Not only are small whiskey cocktails paired with each course, I’ve incorporated the spirits into the production of all of the dishes in a variety of ways,” said Heckman.
The whiskey dinner will be available throughout the month of May for $75 per person (plus tax and gratuity) or $100 per person with whiskey cocktail pairings. The Stockton Inn’s seasonal a-la-carte menu is also available Wednesdays through Saturdays 5 – 9 pm, and Sundays 3 – 8 pm. Make reservations by visiting their website, or call 609.397.1250.
