With summertime still in full swing in Philadelphia, it’s tough to find a reason to look forward to fall.
Thankfully, there are the sweet deals at more than a hundred Center City restaurants to ease the transition from season to season.
That’s right, Center City District Restaurant Week returns next month, running from September 7-12 and September 14-19 .
Once again, more than 120 restaurants in Center City will offer three-course dinners for only $35 per person and a three-course lunch for $20.
With the huge list of participating eateries, Center City District Restaurant Week offers the perfect opportunity to try brand-new restaurants and spots that might otherwise feel a bit out of range.
Newcomers to this year's restaurant week lineup include the yet-to-open Abe Fisher — the brand-new spot from James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Solomonov — as well as Bank and Bourbon, Entre BYOB, 4 Fathers, Mixto, Stella Rossa.
For those in search of ever-delicious high-end standbys, reserve a table at top spots including Amada, Lacroix at the Rittenhouse, XIX (Nineteen) or Zahav.
You can even make reservations and look up menus on the go with the Center City District Restaurant Week mobile site, and keep up with restaurant week events on Twitter @PhilaRestWeek.
