Consider opting out of the cafeteria meal at work because Center City District is preparing to offer an alternative that will surely make your lunch break something to look forward to.
“Let’s Do Lunch,” a monthlong promotion encouraging workers to step out of the office at lunchtime to support restaurants in Center City, is making a comeback in August.
Organizers said from August 3, through August 28, several participating restaurants will offer weekday lunch specials priced at $10, $15, or $20.
From grab-and-go cafés and casual eateries to full-service restaurants, “Let’s Do Lunch” offers the perfect opportunity for people to support local restaurants.
“Coming downtown means more than getting to your desk. It means running into someone you know, catching up over a meal, and building the relationships that make life and work better,” said Prema Katari Gupta, President & CEO of Center City District. “Let’s Do Lunch gives people a reason to step outside and discover one of Center City’s many great restaurants. It’s a simple way to support the businesses that make Center City such a rich and varied place to work, live, and visit.”
