Kick off your summer with this Memorial Day weekend in the city of brotherly love. There, of course, will be various events in Philadelphia celebrating Memorial Day, but which one to choose? Let thetownbug suggest the best options.
Cavanaugh’s River Deck will be throwing its Philly’s Shore Spot Party from 12PM-12AM on Saturday, May 28. Enjoy the beautiful outdoor weather this Memorial Day weekend on the river.
Specials include $10 Landshark buckets during the day, and $3 Miller Lite pounders from 10PM-Midnight.
Check out thetownbug’s “New Spots” section for more information, or visit Cavanaugh River Deck’s website: http://www.theriverdeck.com/.
On Sunday, visit Mad River in Old City. Hosting their 2nd Annul Sandy Memorial Day Party, on Sunday, May 29, Mad River attempts to bring the beach to those unable to make it to the shore. There will be a sand filled deck, palm trees, and hammocks, as well as staff in swimwear.
Specials include $3 Coronas and El Jimador Shots/Margaritas, $6 Limona Coronas, and $1 Tacos. Plus, if you sport flip-flops, sombreros, and any other type of beachwear you will receive a complimentary margarita.
There is more information provided about Mad River Old City in thetownbug’s “New Spots” section of the site, or visit Mad River’s website: http://www.madriverphilly.com/
A new bar has opened in Northern Liberties. Although it might seem like a bit of a hassle to access, what is in store at this next spot is more than worth it. Chenango Restaurant provides city dwellers with an amazing outdoor patio that brings the best part of having a backyard to the city- barbeques! Every Saturday and Sunday at 2:30 PM, Chenango begins their outdoor barbeque, featuring a one price, all-you-can-eat, chicken, hamburger, and hotdog feast, perfect for this Memorial Day weekend.
To access this Chenango, take the Market-Frankford subway line from City Hall, Eastbound, to Girard Ave.

If you are heading to the shore, two spots to check out are Whitebrier Restaurant, in Avalon, NJ, and Ocean Drive (“The O.D.”), in Sea Isle City. These two beach nightclubs are the go-to for the jersey shore, where you’re guaranteed a memorable night.
The O.D. will have a Friday happy hour special from 8AM-12PM with $2.50 Bud Light bottles and OD Sunday Lemonades with free breakfast.
Although Ocean Drive might be a little more night-club-esque than beach-bar atmosphere, Whitebrier’s Octopus Garden offers both outdoor and indoor bar areas with a laid-back atmosphere.
