Dractacular
Demonic hoards and swooping bats are descending on Rittenhouse Square. It’s not the zombie apocalypse, it’s the Rosenbach Museum’s 6th Annual Dracula Parade! The parade kicks off 5:30 p.m. at the museum on Saturday, October 25, led by Spiral Q Puppet Theater’s larger-than-life characters from Dracula. March with howling wolves, giant buzzards, a spooky 15-foot-high head of Nosferatu and a throng of spookily clad revelers. Costumes are encouraged... if you dare!

South Korea Meets South Philly
Sam Chon knew he had a good thing when he created the Koagie—a Korean hoagie slathered with toppings like kimchee, cucumbers and sesame cole slaw—at his Cherry Hill restaurant. Served on sesame seeded or plain fresh baked Italian bread, the .95 Koagie can be ordered with beef, chicken or pork. Depending on your own personal spice tolerance, you can order your Koagie spicy, medium or not spicy. We like the heat. Go for the spicy kimchee and cucumbers!
Koagie —The Original Korean Hoagie. Available at Myung Ga of Cherry Hill. 404 Marlton Pike East, Sawmill Village, Cherry Hill, NJ. (856) 216-0090. www.iliketofu.com
