Snow is here and although it might not be the most pleasant weather to endure, a few top spots in Philly are offering some specials in the frigid temperatures to warm everyone’s spirit.
Down in Old City, Red Owl Tavern is offering a Snow Day Special of a hot cup of mulled wine for just $1 with any food purchase on the menu. This specific special is going to be offered this week, but also every other time it snows in the City of Brotherly Love. In addition to the $1 cup of spirits, the hotspot also will adapt its Rainy Day Special into a Snow Day Special. On snowy days, guests can take 15% off pickup or delivery orders using the promo code RAIN which offers an array of items perfect for a wintry day, including creamy tomato bisque, a chef’s choice of Pasta of the Day, or a grilled chicken club with chipotle ranch and hickory bacon, served with fries. To order, guests can call the restaurant or order online at bbot.menu/redowltaverndelivery.
The specials don’t stop there.
