Philadelphia Is Getting Crabby

By ·

Philadelphia is getting crabby and it isn’t because the Eagles lost (thank goodness). We’ve been spotting crab specials pop up around town. Corner Foodery is offering snow crabs for $9.99 per pound or three blue crabs for $9.99. Each order of blue crabs gets a free 12-ounce draft. And tonight, from 5 to 7 p.m. tonight, the deal works in reverse. Buy a beer and get an order of free crabs.

Across town, Michael Schulson’s Independence Beer Garden is welcoming fall with a Monday night special of crabs, beer and Monday Night Football. $14 gets you a pound of blue crab claws seasoned with garlic and beer, corn on the cob and a side of slaw. Select beers are $4 and pitchers are $12.

Matyson is also offering crabs all week. In the BYOB’s traditional Restaurant Week counter-programming, the five-course crab dinner is available for $55. Check out the full menu below.
