Text Your Way to Free Dessert

Posted by Foobooz on 9th September 2009

You’re a really excellent texter. In fact if texting were an Olympic sport you believe you’d be a Medal contender. Well sadly texting doesn’t look like it will be at the summer of winter games anytime soon but your texting can get you a free dessert or espresso from Rx.

Text Rx to 47201 and opt in to the “Rx Mobile VIP Club” and you can show the reply text to get a free dessert or espresso. The question of course is what else did we opt into but so far our phone has remained quiet.

Tonight

Posted by Foobooz on 28th May 2008

Rx in West Philadelphia has soft shell crabs on the menu tonight. Complete your meal with a growler of beer from Dock Street. They bend the rules like Beckham, Rx stocks growlers on site and then you call Dock Street and buy the beer with your credit card. Score!

We have to be honest, risotto has never made our toes curl. But reading the descriptions of Philadelphia Weekly’s Top 5 risotto dishes have us reconsidering.
