How a.kitchen and a.bar are supporting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and Paws 

In fact, Philadelphians can head to both popular eateries right now to show their support. According to the official release, from Monday, March 25 through Sunday, March 31, a.bar and sister restaurant a.kitchen will donate a portion of their proceeds to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in support of former AKA team member Anne Pagsuguiron, who was diagnosed and treated for leukemia.

100% of the proceeds from their Fernet Branca-based cocktail, The Giving Tree and every bottle of Peroni beer will go directly to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Plus 50% of proceeds from Pagsuguiron’s favorite dishes (crafted from the incredibly talented Chef Eli Collins) will also go to the LLS. Philadelphians can support Pagsuguiron by indulging in Chef Collins’ burrata (served with long hot pesto and grilled Genzano bread) and confit pork belly (served with buttered brussels sprouts, farro and mustard jus) until March 31.

The tasty cocktail being featured this week was also made with Pagsuguiron’s favorite ingredients; Fernet Branca and mezcal. Head bartender Sean Macguire crafted The Giving Tree boasting Fernet, mezcal, Dolin dry vermouth, lemon, egg white and Coca Cola. Philadelphians can sip on the tasty concoction at both locations.Then, on Sunday, April 28 from 4:30 pm until 7:30 pm, a.kitchen and a.bar are teaming up with PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) to help out our adorable furry friends with their Hair of the Dog Happy Hour.
