You might go there for the award winning cast iron baked eggs, the bloody mary bar, a Cuban sandwich or a piece of pie, but no matter which way you slice it, Hotel Congress' Cup Cafe (311 E. Congress St.) has become a Tucson institution over the past 25 years. Now it's time to celebrate.

On Saturday, August 1, the Cup Cafe will be throwing a free party in honor of its 25th birthday which will include live music, raffles, glass blowing demos and food and drink specials. Best of all, a massive 25 layer cake will be served at the event, which you won't want to miss. Drink specials include red and white sangria and the award-winning El Santo's punch and will run throughout the evening from 6 until 8 p.m.

Three dishes will be revived from Cup menus past for the event, but the good times don't stop on Saturday. During the entire month of August, Cup Cafe will be serving the following throwback menu specials because everyone knows a birthday month is better than just one day:
