Family Vibes at the Diving Horse; MANNA's Guac Off Returns This Weekend

JERSEY SHORE — City Paper traveled to Avalon to check in with The Diving Horse, the five-year-old beachside BYO from the owners of Pub & Kitchen and Fitler Dining Room. In addition to finding some unique and exciting plates, they found a sense of family, from the communal Sunday suppers to the staff's unique shared living situation. [CP]

WEST PHILLY — It's Baltimore Avenue Dollar Stroll night, meaning that until 8:30 tonight a stroll down the avenue will yield finds from Dock Street, Little Baby's Ice Cream, Lil' Pop Shop, and tons more vendors — all for just a buck apiece. [NakedPhilly]

RITTENHOUSE — This Sunday, June 22, MANNA will host the second annual Guac Off, the year's best-named competition and sampling event. Amateur contestants compete against pros (from Jose Pistola's, the Guerilla Ultima truck, and others) to see who makes the best guacamole. Tickets are $20 for adults and include all the samples you want; proceeds help MANNA feed people. [EaterWire]
