East Passyunk’s Restaurant Week is back and celebrating its 10th annual event.
From Feb. 28 through March 11, foodies can take advantage of premier lunch and dinner opportunities at affordable prices in East Passyunk’s bustling restaurant and shopping district.
Hosted by the East Passyunk Avenue Business Improvement District, which is home to more than 160 independently owned shops and restaurants, the 10th annual East Passyunk Restaurant Week will return with fan-favorite participants serving up three-course prix-fixe lunch and dinner offerings at a variety of price points.
“East Passyunk restaurants are the heart and soul of the neighborhood and represent what it means to be dedicated to the Philadelphia food scene,” said EPABID Executive Director Adam Leiter. “Supporting them now is a way to make sure they’ll be able to continue offering a variety of dining options, including recent award winners and accolade recipients as well as Avenue classics.”
Indoor and outdoor seating is available all along the Avenue. This year, patrons can expect prix-fixe lunch and/or dinner menus from newcomers as well as returning favorites priced at $20, $30, $40 and $55 for exclusive, elevated experiences. Guests can try a new hot spot or revisit one of their favorites.
