THE BASICS
What: Center City Restaurant Week happens every January and September, and it actually spans two weeks, not one. During Restaurant Week, more than 100 city eateries offer dining discounts: three course dinners are $35, and three-course lunches are $20 (alcohol, tax and gratuity aren't included). However, not all CC Restaurant Week participants offer lunch, so make sure to check online or by phone before you head over.
When: September 7-12 and 14-19, 2014
Note: Saturdays are not usually included in the deal, but some restaurants may offer their RW menus that day.
Where: Center City, which means the neighborhoods of Rittenhouse Square, Fitler Square, Art Museum/Fairmount, Logan Square, Queen Village/Bella Vista, Chinatown, Southwest Center City, Avenue of the Arts, Washington Square West, Society Hill and Old City. Phew.
