Looking for some fun, unique and safe ways to spend your weekend? In the age of social distancing, Metro has you covered. A few Philly establishments have come up with inventive ways to still have fun this weekend while staying healthy.
Sushi Making With Tuna Bar
If you’re looking to join in on a fun, creative and delicious activity this weekend, Tuna Bar has just the project for you. Tuna Bar’s Chef Ken Sze just launched “Take Out” sushi making kits that will be available to be pre-ordered and picked up (contactless) this Saturday, May 15, between 3:30 – 6 p.m. After you pick up your kit, you can also join in on a live sushi making tutorial with Chef Sze via Instagram Live (@tunabarphl) also this Saturday at 7 p.m., giving you the opportunity to really roll like a pro.

Pink Boots Cheers
This weekend was supposed to hold a very special occasion—The Bold Women and Beer Festival, but with social distancing in full swing, the Pink Boots Society has figured out a way to still celebrate safely. According to a release, the Society will be holding a virtual toast to celebrate women in the industry and also support the breweries by encouraging local imbibers to purchase Pink Boots collaborative beers brewed earlier this year. These beers would typically have been available at the respective breweries and at the Bold Women and Beer Festival with a portion of sales going directly to Pink Boots. To participate this weekend, Philadelphians can pick up a 4-pack, 6-pack or growler of a local Pink Boots collaboration beer or schedule a delivery from a local Pink Boots member brewery, and take a photo or video of their beer. Then on Saturday, May 16 at 5 p.m., raise a toast to support the Pink Boots Society and Bold Women and Beer and share the photo or video to social media using the hashtags: #PinkBootsCheers and #BoldWomenandCheer. Find out which Philly-area breweries are Pink Boots Collaborators through Facebook/pinkbootsphilly.
