Center City Philadelphia is giving residents, workers, and visitors plenty of reasons to skip the routine and experience everything downtown has to offer.
For one, Center City District is making weekday dining more affordable with the return of Let’s Do Lunch, running now through Aug. 28. With this initiative, participating restaurants across Center City will offer lunch specials priced at $10, $15, and $20 on weekdays.
This year's Let’s Do Lunch lineup showcases the variety of Center City’s dining scene: Diners can check out everything from casual cafés and neighborhood taverns to international cuisine and upscale dining. Popular destinations like Harper’s Garden, Gran Caffe L’Aquila, Darling Jack’s Tavern, Dolce Italian, High Street, Veda Modern Indian Bistro, and The Patio at Dilworth Park are all participating. All restaurants, menus, and additional details are available online.
Center City District Sips is also in full swing every Wednesday through Aug. 26. On those nights from 5 to 7 p.m., dozens of bars and restaurants throughout Center City offer discounted cocktails, beer, wine, mocktails, and appetizers. (A complete list of participating locations and weekly specials can be found online as well.)
