Dining Days are back. And just in time to add a little spice to your Summer.
This is your chance to finally visit some of the restaurants in University City that you’ve been dying to try. Or perhaps you are just learning of the excellent and diverse dining options that abound in this neighborhood located just “left of center” — Center City that is.
Whatever the case, be sure you grab a group of friends and make a reservation (or two) at the restaurants of your choice. Then head across the Schuylkill River during Dining Days, July 24 – July 31, 2008, and enjoy.
More than 20 of the neighborhood’s most popular eateries are offering diners (that’s you) special three-course, prix fixe dinners for either $15, $25 or $30 per person. It’s a great way to try some of the area’s exciting new restaurants or to return to a longtime favorite.
Highlights
Savor authentic Ethiopian cuisine at Dahlak or indulge in the flavors of Laos and Thailand at Vientiane Cafe.
How about a visit to the new restaurant in the breathtaking Cira Centre, Rae, where acclaimed chef Daniel Stern leads the kitchen. Or a little bit of deliciously futuristic Asian fare at Stephen Starr's Pod.
Bring your favorite bottle of wine along with you on your visit to Rx, a popular contemporary American BYOB on Spruce Street. If you like music with your meal, then you’ll want to check out World Cafe Live — there you’ll enjoy delicious, globally influenced dishes alongside great live performances.
Another BYOB that is garnering rave reviews is Marigold Kitchen, which serves up excellent international cuisine with a modern twist.
Longtime neighborhood standbys are also getting in the act: Nan, White Dog Cafe and Zocalo are each participating and invite you to rediscover their unique dining excellence.
For a complete list of participating restaurants, visit University City District.
