WORLD STUDENTS' DAY: Let Them Eat Funnel Cake at CO-OP

PHILADELPHIA - In honor of World Students’ Day, CO-OP Restaurant & Bar, a contemporary, bright, and airy restaurant in The Study Hotel, smack between the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University, is spreading the love through a very special giveaway on Saturday, October 15. The first 100 students (with valid photo ID) to visit CO-OP between 7 am and 10 pm will receive a complimentary Funnel Cake.

 

CO-OP’s recent rebirth champions the inherent philosophies of community, connection, and culinary heritage by exemplifying the neighborly ethos that co-op communities have cultivated throughout history. The restaurant's inspiration draws from regional cooking techniques from many diverse migrant communities that settled along the East Coast since the 19^th century. Funnel cake, the beloved sweet treat originally known as drechderkuche in Pennsylvania German, is a perfect example of Pennsylvania’s historical culinary tapestry.

 

CO-OP is open daily from 7 am to 10pm; CO-OP offers breakfast, lunch, dinner, and brunch, with the bar serving 4 pm – 10 pm.  The restaurant will expand to a refreshed brunch menu featuring in-house baked bread and pastries with hyper-regional influence in the coming weeks, plus a takeout menu exclusively available through an activated window along Chestnut Street.
