Each spot offers either a buy-two-entrees, get-an-appetizer-or-dessert-free promotion or a special limited-time menu. Participating restaurants this spring include Adelita Taqueria & Restaurant, El Merkury, Casa Mexico, Mixto Restaurant, and more. Bom apetite!

Sticks up, Philly, for the final time. The Philadelphia Wings take to the turf in South Philly for their last game ever, with a swan song against the Las Vegas Desert Dogs this week.

Bad news: With the team’s playoff run wrapped for the season, this’ll be your last chance to see the guys in action, as the franchise has announced its plans not to return to Xfinity Mobile Arena for the 2026-2027 season.

Good news: It’s dollar ice cream day! So turn that frown upside down with a sweet treat and get ready to give the team a warm Philly farewell — hopefully not forever.

Two powerful fabric-based exhibitions conclude this week: Lisa Alvarado: Talismans for a Theater of Resilience e O Templo Vivo: O Mundo de Moki Cherry.

Lisa Alvarado uses vibrational aesthetics — that is, the pulses of the human body (and the world) — to explore the liminality of movement, history and rhythm. Composed of layers of multicolored bands, Alvarado’s gigantic hanging tapestries mimic natural rock formations and shift in color throughout the course of the day.

Fearless artist and designer Moki Cherry lived her life across continents, working and living in both the United States and her native Sweden. Featuring tapestries, paintings, concert posters, costumes, music and more, Cherry’s retrospective exhibition weaves together a creative mishmash that turns ordinary spaces into bold, joyful happenings.

Catch them before they unravel.

Taking place over the course of one summer weekend, the humorous and heartbreaking play explores the laughter, music, memories and the process of healing — all from the perspectives of four cousins struggling to break free from generational trauma.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” right? But arriving at that iconic line in the Declaration of Independence wasn’t so simple.

Unbeknownst to many, the Declaration served many roles and went through numerous drafts before becoming the document we know today. The American Philosophical Society Museum tapped into its vast holdings to tell a fuller version of the document’s history in its última exposição, timed to coincide with America’s 250th anniversary.

In addition to the many copies of the Declaration in the free exhibit, visitors can also see a rare first printing of Thomas Paine’s influential Common Sense, as well as the chair Thomas Jefferson sat in while he wrote.

Over the last two and a half centuries, few things have become as synonymous with America’s Independence Day celebrations as the loud crack and colorful sparks of a fireworks display. But the origins of the dazzling light shows are much, much older — going as far back as the second century BCE.

Starting this week, the Instituto de História da Ciência em Old City illuminates the history and chemistry of fireworks in an explosive new exhibitionO evento é uma oportunidade para os visitantes conhecerem a história de livros raros, arte, as mais recentes tecnologias pirotécnicas modernas e muito mais.

Com suas próprias histórias, os Philadelphia Museum of Art e o Academia de Belas Artes da Pensilvânia (the country’s very first art school and museum) delve into the richness and diversity of American art history for this blockbuster exhibition, programado para coincidir com o Semiquincentenário.
