Come to the POPE at 7pm on 12/17 for three rounds of silliness and smarts sprinkled with holiday goodness!

The second round will have you finishing lyrics to 10 of the best songs ever (including at least one holiday gem). And the third round -- which is all multimedia this time! -- will ask about 10 movies that are tied together by a hidden theme.
Winner gets $50 in Latchkey gift cards! 2nd and 3rd save $ off their bar tab.

Mish Mish - MISH MISH NYE 2024
This year, @MishMishPhilly is throwing the NYE party of your dreams.
No, really. The one you dream about. You know the one—where you're crowded around a table with the people you love, where there isn't any room on the table because there's almost too much food, you're all clinking glasses and glugging wine and laughing and singing? That's the vibe they’re going for. Relentless fun. Round after round after round of food—they’re aiming for over 15 courses!—whatever goodies their chef @Zevluvex feels like making that night. And then they’ll be popping bottles of wine all night, whatever they’re into, whatever they're in the mood for at any given second. You won't have to think about what you're ordering, you can just say yes or no to whatever they bring you. Like a house party!
Reserve your launch into the new year here: https://resy.com/cities/philadelphia-pa/venues/mish-mish-philadelphia/events/mish-mish-nye-2024-2024-12-31?date=2024-12-06&seats=2&event_url_slug=mish-mish-nye-2024-2024-12-31

Come celebrate with us at our grand opening, featuring fun vibes, sips & snacks, and a chance to get your very own permanent jewelry piece. A tried & true trend, permanent jewelry offers a long-term approach to wearing timeless jewelry. The absence of a clasp creates an effortless look, as well as eliminates the struggle of putting on jewelry by yourself, since it is secured to your body for as long as you'd like it to be. Additionally, sharing a permanent jewelry experience with another person is an excellent way to make memories with friends, or share a bond with family members!
For our grand opening, we'll also be offering a special offer: 15% off for purchasing 2 or more chains!
East Passyunk Avenue is becoming THE place to be in South Philly, and we’re proud to be part of it. Explore the neighborhood’s shops, grab a bite to eat, and make a day of it—all while discovering a unique jewelry experience you won’t find anywhere else in Philly.
