This 2nd PHS Pop Up Garden location is part of PHS’s large network of public gardens and landscapes throughout the region. A unique element from the 2020 Philadelphia Flower Show, “The Lemonary,” has been repurposed in the Manayunk location to highlight PHS’s commitment to sustainability, and to enhance the ambiance of the site.
Food selections include finger food for foodies and families, and the herbs from the demonstration garden are incorporated into both the food offerings and specialty cocktails. Some featured seasonal cocktails include the “Woodermelon,” a cocktail with Tito’s Vodka, watermelon, ginger, and lime; the “Gritty Granita” with 3 Olives Orange Vodka, Tang, and Vanilla; the “Tarragon Palmer” with Jack Daniels, sun tea, and lemonade; and the “Ginger Monkey Smash” with Monkey Shoulder whiskey, pineapple, ginger beer, and basil.
Diners have the option of contactless service and can order and pay from their table using an online point of sale system (https://popupmanyunk.hrpos.heartland.us/menu). Once the order is placed within the Garden, a server will bring food and drinks to each table.
Out of an abundance of caution, PHS has set guidelines within the space in accordance to both the City of Philadelphia and CDC recommendations for safe social distancing at restaurants. These guidelines can be found on our website.
PHS will continue to evolve and adapt to the changing needs of our guests, staff, and community. With that, processes may change and will be posted on the PHS website and social media accounts. The Pop Up Garden at Manayunk is open through October 2020, Wednesday and Thursdays from 5 p.m.-10 p.m., and Friday through Sunday from 12 noon-10 p.m. Plentiful parking for the Garden is available on Venice Island via Lock Street, a short block away from Jamestown Ave.
