Celebrate the Souper Bowl Near The Courts at Historic Manassas Tonight at First Friday

February 6, 2015 by

The Super Bowl may have come and gone, but a much tastier version will be held today near The Courts at Historic Manassas. For February's First Friday, the Souper Bowl comes to Center Street. Various shops downtown will welcome locals to slurp up as many soup samples as they like for a flat fee of $5. Just grab a wristband at any of the stores along the Souper Bowl's route.

The city's eateries supply the soup, so if you try something you like, make a note of the source. At Prospero's Books, you can try the ancho tomato soup and grilled cheese from Zandra's. At Allyssa Bryn boutique, enjoy a sample of Okra's Creole gumbo, studded with chicken and andouille sausage. Anyone looking for something a bit heartier should head to Records & Rarities for smoked brisket chili by The Bone or Creative Brush Studio for clam chowder from Philadelphia Tavern.
