In the spirit of Women’s History Month, Stratus Rooftop Lounge, in collaboration with Sisterly Love Collective, is thrilled to present the second installment of the Women’s Way Wednesdays series. This unique sequence of weekly pop-ups, running from March 6 to March 31, 2024, shines a spotlight on the remarkable women-owned and operated businesses in the culinary and beverage industry within the Philadelphia region and beyond.
A Tribute to Women’s Creativity and Entrepreneurship
Women’s Way Wednesdays is a vibrant celebration dedicated to honoring women’s talents, achievements, and contributions in the food, beverage, and hospitality sectors. By transforming Stratus Rooftop Lounge into a hub of female empowerment, this series offers a platform for showcasing the innovative work of local chefs, bartenders, musicians, and business owners.
Culinary Highlights and Musical Treats
The series starts on March 6, with an evening of delectable hors d’ oeuvres crafted by Chefs Liz Grothe of Couch Café and Melissa McGrath of Sweet Amalia Market. Accompanied by live music and a selection of pay-as-you-go craft cocktails, local beers, and wines, this inaugural event sets the tone for a month-long culinary discovery and celebration voyage.
Subsequent Wednesdays will feature diverse chefs, each bringing their unique culinary vision. Attendees can look forward to various small bites, expertly paired cocktails, and an array of live entertainment, fostering an atmosphere of community and celebration. The Sisterly Love Collective will close the series on March 27 with a collaborative cocktail party-style finale featuring an extensive collection of culinary talents and elevated tastings.
Supporting Women’s Way and Sisterly Love Collective
The Women’s Way Wednesdays Series exceed the boundaries of a typical culinary event by serving a greater purpose. Profits from ticket sales will benefit Women’s Way, Philadelphia’s leading nonprofit organization focused on the advancement of women, girls, and gender and racial equity, as well as Sisterly Love Collective, an alliance dedicated to empowering women in the food and hospitality space. This series provides a platform for women to showcase their talents and contribute to meaningful causes that support and advance women’s rights and opportunities.
Women’s Way Wednesdays Series – A Month of Celebration
Tickets for each Women’s Way Wednesday event are required, offering attendees an exquisite variety of bites, a complimentary cocktail, and additional beverages available for purchase. The Sisterly Love Collective finale, an all-inclusive evening, promises an unforgettable experience with two beverage tickets and complimentary wine and beer tastings.
Stratus Rooftop Lounge, located atop Kimpton Hotel Monaco, offers the perfect setting for this series, combining breathtaking views of Philadelphia with a commitment to promoting gender equity and celebrating women’s achievements in the culinary world.
