Save the date — and your appetite — for the 13th annual Philadelphia Caribbean Cuisine Week, returning April 25-28.
Organized by the Young Caribbean Professional Network, this year’s event features great eats and specials from restaurants all over the city, including Sabrina’s Café (all five locations!), Cuba Libre, Kilamandjaro, Youma, Fine Palate (which is participating for the first time) and more.
A portion of the proceeds from Caribbean Cuisine Week go toward food, transportation, medical expenses and more for 700 economically disadvantaged athletes from Trinidad and Tobago, St. Vincent, Jamaica and the Bahamas who are traveling to Philadelphia to compete in the 2017 Penn Relays, the oldest collegiate meet in the nation.
Fun fact: Olympic champion Usain Bolt (who is originally from Jamaica) benefited from this fundraiser when he was in high school.
Here’s your chance to try the ropa vieja at Cuba Libre, Youma’s Senegalese chicken wings and more. And what’s better than checking out Philly’s Caribbean, Latin American and African food scenes while supporting a great cause?

Mark your calendars to enjoy these delicious eats for an amazing cause!
