How CCD Restaurant Week works
Participating restaurants will offer Restaurant Week menus throughout the event, with availability and details varying by location. Diners are encouraged to check individual restaurant pages on the Center City District website for menu offerings, reservation information and whether lunch, dinner or both are available.
Restaurants create their own menus for Restaurant Week. The Center City District website includes a dedicated page for each participating restaurant and allows diners to filter options by cuisine, menu type and dietary preferences, including gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian choices.
During Restaurant Week, diners can park for $10 or less at participating garages operated by BexPark by Brandywine Realty Trust, LAZ Parking and the Philadelphia Parking Authority. The discounted rate is available from 4:45 p.m. to 1 a.m., with participating locations listed on a dedicated section of the CCD Restaurant Week website.
In a season when restaurant traffic often slows, Restaurant Week has coincided with measurable gains in activity across Center City. According to data from the CCD, weekends during last January’s Restaurant Week saw a 19% increase in visitors between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m., along with a 9% increase over the full day compared with surrounding weeks.
Organizers said the increase in activity is part of a broader goal behind Restaurant Week.
“In addition to driving business to restaurants during Restaurant Week, an overall goal of the program is to remind people that Center City has a great collection of restaurants and that they should go back and continue to support them month after month, all year long,” Pruiti said. “We want people to use this as an opportunity to find their next favorite place or become a regular somewhere, not just during Restaurant Week.”
