Giveaway: Happy Hour & Cupcake Decorating Class Avec Moi!

Drinking and decorating cupcakes. What could be more fun than that? A new venture from two 2013 Philabundance Cupcake Smash winners, Watts for Dessert and Luscious Bakery, combines these two activities into a new kind of class: Boozy Buttercream.

Aaaaand they've offered 22nd & Philly two passes to an upcoming class!! Obviously I am snagging one of these tix for myself... and YOU can win the second to come with me. Details on how to enter below. 

Boozy Buttercream partners with local bars and restaurants to host a casual, 90 minute happy hour + pastry decoration class. Students of all levels are welcome to raise a glass and fill their piping bag for a fun, social and educational experience. They host classes from Center City to West Chester so keep an eye on their website and Twitter feed for dates.

City Dining Cards Giveaway!

Dear fellow foodies,

Eat more! Save money! City Dining Cards sent us two packs of discount cards to some of Philadelphia's top eating establishments and we're giving them away to you, our readers.

Each pack includes 50 discount cards worth $10 each to local spots like Pumpkin, La Calaca Feliz, Honey's Sit 'n Eat, and more. If you like what you get, tell your friends or buy more packs as gifts. They are only $20 and 5% of all sales goes to local food banks. It's like those Entertainment books, but for restaurants only.

How do you win? Simple: Just type your email address in the box below and you'll be entered. You’ll automatically be subscribed to 22nd & Philly's posts and get a heads up on future giveaways, but we promise we don't spam or sell your email to anyone else. Two winners will be selected at random and notified next week. If you're a current subscriber, you're already entered to win, too.

Notes from the fine print: A $30 minimum purchase is required to use City Dining Cards and the discount only applies to food, not drinks. Dine in only. The cards expire 12/31/13. See more details here.

Thanks again to CityEats for offering to include us and our readers in their Dream Dinner giveaway!

Part of the entry list and our winner...

Win $100 to Ulivo from CityEats.com! Contest ends 10/21

Last weekend, we revealed a new series that will review Italian BYOBs in the Philadelphia area according to the "Nana Test." We already wrote about Ulivo in Queen Village as part of that series and now, thanks to CityEats, our loyal and hungry readers have the chance to win $100 towards your own delicious "Dream Dinner" at Ulivo, too.

It's SO easy. There are 3 ways to win:

1. All existing email subscribers to 22nd & Philly are automatically entered. Yay for you!

2. Anyone else who registers for email updates from 22nd & Philly between now and October 21 will also be entered to win. Sign up right here or at the top right column of your screen.

3. Go to the 22nd & Philly page on Facebook and share this post with all your friends so they can enter, too.

If you sign up for the email AND share this post on Facebook, you'll be in the running twice. Entry deadline is October 21, 2012 at midnight. We'll put all entries into a hat and pick a winner to be announced October 22.

Why is this worthwhile? $100 is a big deal people, and at a BYOB like Ulivo it will go a long way. You'll see in our review that Ulivo is worth the visit. Don't believe us? Our friends at Two Eat Philly loved Ulivo, too. Here is the current seasonal menu on CityEats.com.

A few rules:
1. The $100 has to be spent in one sitting so we recommend going in a party of 3 or more people in order to spend that much. That's the beauty of a BYOB. Your friends will thank you.

2. The winner must make his/her reservation through CityEats.com, a website created in partnership with the Food Network to book reservations and get a sense for the restaurant experience before you even go.
