Philly Spotlight: Chinatown Izakaya – YAKITORI BOY and other Philly Highlights
This week’s invite came from Philly PR Girl in celebration of the 8th Anniversary of YAKITORI BOY 211 N. 11th Street (11th & Race). The establishment is called an Izakaya, which is the equivalent of a pub, in Japan. Different from a bar in that emphasis is put on ordering food to accompany your cocktails. Wikipedia says Izakaya: is a compound word consisting of “i” (to stay) and “sakaya” (sake shop), indicating that izakaya originated from sake shops that allowed customers to sit on the premises to drink.

Off Broad Street Theater / Battle of the Burger / Collingswood Pop Up Gala – ROUND UP
September is always the start of event season! I started off Friday September 6th with The Off Broad Street Mobile App “Appy Hour”. I get some requests to promote some theater events in Philly, and up until recently often turned it down, not wanting to dilute the brand of Film & Food. But I also pride Tinsel & Tine as being a Philly Blog, so why not add a little theater info in now and again.
