Sunday Supper at Supper

Sun., June 1, 6:30 p.m., $35

"They're putting themselves in my hands," says Supper executive chef and proprietor Mitch Prensky of guests to his Sunday Suppers, where he selects the fare for the single-seating, three-course prix fixe meal held every first Sunday of the month. Everyone receives the same starter before the main entrée is passed around the table family-style. June's theme is Mediterranean with Greek and Middle Eastern flavors. Sunday Suppers are BYO, but the house also offers selected wines at half price. Reservations required. Supper, 926 South St., 215-592-8180, supperphilly.com.

Check out a new locale every week — street parking is free after 5 p.m. See the full list of participants at centercityphila.org.

A Taste of Latin America

Thu., June 5, 5:45-7:45 p.m., $65

The impending summer heat means you need to get familiar with some solid Latin dishes to complement all those margaritas. Temple University Center City enlisted the expertise of chef Owen Lee, host of WHYY's One for the Road, to teach the intricacies of tapas, Latin-flair hors d'oeuvres and various delicacies from Mexico, South America and the Caribbean.
