Center City Restaurant Week Has Been Extended Until February 4 Due to Winter Storm
The economic development organization behind Center City's popular restaurant week has decided to extend the event due to unforeseen closures and cancellations caused by a recent winter storm. The extension, which had initially been set to run until January 31, will now see the discounted prix fixe dinners continue through Wednesday, February 4.
Of the 122 participating restaurants, over 60 have already confirmed their intention to keep their special offers going beyond the original deadline. Restaurant week is designed to boost local businesses during slower months, and in January 2025, it led to a significant increase in service at participating establishments.
The event aims to inject some much-needed life into the dining scene, making any evening feel like a special occasion. As Giavana Suraci Pruiti, Director of Promotions and Activations, noted, "Center City District Restaurant Week gives us the opportunity to step out on a cold winter night." This sentiment is reflected in the previous year's results, which saw a 9% increase in service overall and a 19% increase between 4-10 p.m. at participating businesses compared to surrounding weeks.
Other neighborhoods are also getting into the act, with Northern Liberties' restaurant week already underway until Sunday, February 8. And for those looking forward to March, East Passyunk's 14th annual event is set to take place from Monday, February 23, to Friday, March 6.

. I was actually planning on trying out some new places during the original event, and now I'm gonna have to wait even longer 
. On the bright side, it's great for local businesses and all, so that’s a plus! 
The idea of having those discounted prix fixe dinners is still super appealing tho 
. Northern Liberties’ restaurant week sounds like fun too, and I might just have to check that out instead? 
Just read that Center City Restaurant Week got extended till Feb 4 due to winter storm 
, and I'm kinda glad! Been looking forward to trying out those discounted menus 
. Plus, good on the restaurants for stepping up their game during slow months 
. You know how it is when you need a pick-me-up, food is always a winner 
. Guess I'll have to check out Northern Liberties' week and East Passyunk's event too... more dining options = better 
!! who doesn't love a good deal on a cold winter night 
? and it's awesome that over 60 restaurants are going above & beyond by keeping their special offers open till Feb 4! 
. i can already imagine all the cozy dinner dates being had 
. let's keep supporting our local faves, shall we? 
, it's awesome to see the community supporting each other. i'm planning to check out some of the Northern Liberties' restaurants this weekend too... has anyone tried any of those yet? 
. I mean, who needs a break from saving money when there are so many delicious deals to be had? But seriously, extending restaurant week is a great idea - it's perfect for those crazy busy nights when you don't wanna cook at home. Plus, it's awesome that the restaurants are sticking with their promotions even after the initial deadline. It's just what we need to give local businesses a little extra love 
Plus, it's a great way for us to support our neighbors who've been working so hard to bring some much-needed life back into the city. So, let's all keep it going and make the most of this awesome deal 
. I mean, it's not just about the food (although, let's be real, the food is a big part of it
