Mt. Airy USA’s ‘ Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?’ 2013 [Gallery]

“Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?” – Mt. Airy USA’s annual fundraiser – was held on Saturday.

The event, hosted by the community development corporation, gives participants the chance to chat with notable Philadelphians, enjoy a catered meal, and bid on a series of silent auction prizes.

This year’s guest list included, among others, Philadelphia School District Superintendent Dr. William Hite and Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Annette John-Hall.

Five Mt. Airy restaurants provided food for the evening. They were: Earth, Bread + Brewery, Avenida, Little Jimmie’s Bakery Café, Geechee Girl Rice Café, and the Trolley Car Diner.
