New Menu Options and Promotions for May, Cinco de Mayo, and Mother’s Day
May 3, 2021 - Philadelphia, PA – The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) invites people to visit the newly-opened PHS Pop Up Garden at South Street this May to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day, and the arrival of warm weather. Guests can enjoy a gorgeous, floral setting with delicious food and drinks that serves as the perfect backdrop for a festive celebration of family and culture.
Food and drink menus are provided this year by Philadelphia restaurants Cantina Los Caballitos and Khyber Pass Pub.
Starting on May 5, new Cinco de Mayo offerings will be available for the month of May. New dishes will include Elote — Mexican street corn made with chipotle mayo, queso fresco, and chili powder, Mexican Hot Dogs (vegan and regular) served with bacon, crumbled queso fresco or vegan mozzarella, pico, pickled jalapeño, and mayo, and Chicken Achiote Tacos made with slow-roasted pulled chicken, cilantro, and onion. Even after the holiday is over, guests can enjoy new meals like Al Pastor Tacos, which will be available later in the month.
For Mother’s Day, $8 glasses of rosé will also be available to purchase alongside of new offerings such as Mexican Shrimp Cocktail, Lemony Artichoke and Herb Hummus, and the Nashville Hot Chicken Wrap, making a tasty meal for the whole family.
New to the garden this year, guests can book private group spaces for friends and family. These spaces are a great way to celebrate Mother’s Day, birthdays, and anniversaries in floral beauty with tailored food and beverage options. Interested groups of 20 or more can visit PHSOnline.org to learn more about booking a private space.
Once inside the garden, visitors will be met with a sea of vibrant purple, pink, and orange plants and bulbs that will be a feast for the eyes and add to the warm atmosphere of spring. Plants to look out for include Allium ‘Purple Sensation’, Digitalis ‘Excelsior Hybrid’ Tiarella ‘Sugar and Spice’ and Geum ‘Totally Tangerine’ among others. “The garden always has something blooming with successional layered plantings and was designed to always offer something new for guests to visually explore throughout the season,” says Leah Blanton, Project Manager of Public Landscapes at PHS. No matter when guests come to visit, the South Street Pop Up Garden will be an experience unlike any other in Philadelphia.
Safety is of the utmost importance to PHS, and the Pop Up Garden follows CDC-recommended guidelines. PHS has set guidelines within the space in accordance with city and CDC recommendations for safe social distancing at restaurants. These guidelines can be found on our website: www.phsonline.org/popups. PHS’s health and safety requirements 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.
