Dîner en Sweatpants Returns for a Comfy Second Year

Get our weekly picks of what to do this weekend and the latest on Philly's arts and entertainment scene.

We’ve been anxiously awaiting the announcement of Dîner en Sweatpants, the lazier, oh-so-comfy cousin of those other dîners, Blanc and Noir. It arrived today via organizer TicketLeap, who announced it’s happening on Thursday, August 20th, on the Schuylkill Banks between Walnut and Locust streets.

Don’t worry about color-coordinating an outfit or trying to round up some fancy table ware. All you need for this one is a blanket (any color!), a picnic dinner (go ahead, bring a greasy pizza!), and something to drink (Yuengling!).

Don’t feel like preparing a meal? Of course you don’t, you’re wearing sweatpants. You can order from Wrap Shack in Center City, and they’ll bring food to your picnic site. There’s a $15 minimum and the number is 215-569-1666.

After dinner, Schuylkill Banks will screen Guardians of the Galaxy under the stars. The film is free and starts at 7:45 pm.

Dîner en Sweatpants takes place Thursday, August 20th, from 5:30 to 8 pm. You can register here—from the comfort of your couch.
