All you can eat pancakes; live music and an amazing local art exhibit for only five bucks! Yes, you read that right. The Pancakes & Booze Art Show will be traveling across the nation and making a stop in Philadelphia at Underground Arts on June 13th.
The evening will showcase over 75 emerging artists from the city of Philadelphia as well as the surrounding areas and some traveling artists as well. Along with hundreds of pieces of art on display and for sale, there will be live bands and DJs, body painting, lives canvas painting and most importantly… unlimited pancakes.
The event comes from humble beginnings in 2009 when a group of people in Los Angeles began throwing underground art shows in old warehouses around the city. The unique combination of pancakes and booze kept the people coming back and skyrocketed the shows’ popularity. Pancakes &Booze now travels worldwide to 35 cities, including Berlin, Honolulu and Vancouver.
The lingering question is what’s up combination of pancakes and booze?
Well, this combo my seem strange for most but for the founders it was just part of a normal night out. Having grown up in Tuscan Arizona, IHOP was the only late night cuisine around after a night of drinking, the pair just made sense. All of this for just the low price of $5, the show makes for an inexpensive night out.
