What we’re about
Ladies & Gents in our 50s & 60s etc are at a different stage of life than when we were younger. Let's get together and form a circle of friends to have fun with. Dining, theatre, movies, special events in and out of the city, happy hours, and even travel. The possibilities are endless and you are welcome to provide suggestions!
Please be sure to have a current photo of yourself on your profile! If you do not I will be unable to approve you. And please - if you cannot make a meetup after RSVPing - let me know via private message and update to not going so I am aware and able to give others the opportunity to go. No-shows will not be tolerated and you will be booted. Two late cancellations and you will be booted.
Due to the fact that the new owners of Meetup have decided to increase the Meetup Fees astronomically, I have created a place for voluntary contributions. If you love our little group, please feel free to contribute as little or as much as you can!
If you have not joined us for a meetup within 6 months of signing up and/or if you have not been to our Meetup page within that time (yes I can see who has been to the page and how long)
I hope that you come out and join us! Our group meetups are usually small, consisting of anywhere from 6-10 people, therefore, we really do get to know each other very well as I do not have huge crowds of people where you never get to know anyone, I just don't think that's fair to anyone.
Ours is a great group and ladies and gentlemen, who have a mutual respect for one another and have lots and lots of laughs! Hope to see you soon!
P.S. Be sure to allow notifications from Meetup, so you are able to see all the Meetup events as they come in.
PPS - check often for messages and updated. If you are on the waitlist for something, and I send you message that someone canceled and you are next, please be able to respond.

For Active Members ONLY - Let’s Celebrate "Friendsgiving" with a Feast at Perla!
Perla, 1535 S 11th St, Philadelphia, PA, USTHIS EVENT WILL ONLY BE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ATTENDED OTHER MEETUPS WITH OUR GROUP IN THE PAST!!
Let's celebrate "Friendsgiving" and enjoy a traditional Kamayan feast at Perla. It’s a BYOB, pre fixe menu ($50 pp - approx. $64 pp after tax and tip) Since this is a BYOB and it is "family style" we will be splitting the bill. Please try to bring exact cash! This is one not to be missed - it's really good!
Kamayan means “by hand.” This communal meal is traditionally served on banana leaves and enjoyed without utensils. However**, you can use a fork** if you insist, but it’s a wonderful opportunity to experience something “innate and ancestral” to Filipino culture.
Here’s what's on the preset menu: http://www.perlaphilly.com/
SINANGAG jasmine rice, garlic
CHICKEN INASAL meyer lemon and soy marinade
FRIED PORK lechon kawali or crispy pata
LUMPIA ground pork, carrots, onions, ginger
FISH whole fried Pompano
PINAKBET eggplant, long beans, bokchoy
DESSERT chocolate coconut budino*From Philadelphia Magazine:
Perla is one of the most unique dining experiences in the city.
Every Wednesday and Sunday, the tables at this Filipino BYOB in East Passyunk are pushed together and covered with banana leaves, and the quiet couples you normally see here are replaced with big, animated groups of friends eating with their hands from communal piles of food. First, a layer of fried rice is spooned onto the table in a formation that looks like one of those perfectly symmetrical mountain ranges from a Wes Anderson movie. Next, vegetables - brussels sprouts, carrots, bok choy, onions, and peppers. And then a whole fried fish, pieces of crispy pork belly, spring rolls, and lemony whole chickens are stacked on top of the rice and vegetable wall. Finally, a few different sauces are scattered around the table, so you can mix and match to create what seems like an infinite number of combinations out of everything in front of you.And it’s these combinations that make the feast so delicious. One minute it may be a piece of crispy pork belly dipped into a vinegary and sweet dressing, and the next you’re pouring a spicy, harissa-like red sauce over a bite of chicken breast and bok choy. It’s like a choose-your-own-adventure book, except all of the endings to the kamayan feast are happy ones in which you end up very full, likely with your hands covered in olive oil and rogue rice grains.
This is when Perla really shines, and despite feeling a bit uncomfortable at first, eating with your hands from a giant pile of food forms a bond between everyone around the table.
Hope to see you there!!
