PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Center City patrons will have more time to experience this year’s Restaurant Week deals.
January is usually a slow month for restaurants in the city. Center City Restaurant Week, in which dozens of restaurants partake in prix fixe menu discounts and deals, usually helps make up for that, but the frigid temperatures and icy conditions have worsened attendance.
The promotion was initially set from Jan. 18 to 31, but Center City District announced it is extending the promotion through Feb. 4. About 50 out of the 122 participating restaurants have already agreed to extend the deals, and officials expect that number to climb.
Center City Restaurant Week used to take place twice a year, in the winter and spring. Last year, the district said it was going forward only with the winter deal.
Northern Liberties Restaurant Week is also underway now through Feb. 8.
