In conjunction with this fall's Restaurant Week, Center City District has released a special digital cookbook with 20 recipes from Garces Trading Company, R2L, Le Bec-Fin, Porcini, El Vez and other Center City restaurants. (Photos courtesy Center City District)
It’s here! Center City District Restaurant Week presented by TD Bank kicks off today, running through Friday, September 16 and picking up again September 18-23.
Not only will you find three-course dinners for just $35 in 119 restaurants and three-course lunches for just $20 in more than 100 local eateries, but the event has a local, green twist as well. We have partnered with Center City District to promote locally grown food by having every single participating restaurant feature a local dish.
You’ll recognize the local dish on each menu thanks to a special local food tractor icon. (See example menu with the Tractor icon below.)
In addition, starting today Center City District will choose some of your treasured dishes from your favorite restaurants and compile the recipes in a brand new online cookbook, “Center City Cooks.” Online you’ll find more than a dozen seasonal recipes and other useful cooking information.
Plus, we’re giving away two restaurant gift certificates: one for $100 to Stephen Starr’s The Dandelion and one for $100 to Ellen Yin’s Fork. (Note: the gift cards don’t need to be redeemed during Restaurant Week.) CLICK HERE to enter.
And click here for a full list of participating restaurants and preview their menus for Center City Restaurant Week. Note that the Philadelphia Parking Association and Philadelphia Parking Authority will offer discounted $9 (or less) parking at dozens of lots and garages all over Center City.
Don’t miss all the fun, excitement and fresh flavors of Center City District Restaurant Week.
