That’s right. Center City District Restaurant Week is back with a vengeance, now including a three-course lunch option for only $20*.

Of course, Restaurant Week also includes a beloved three-course, $35* dinner option.

So, you now have two options:

- Lunch (55+ restaurants): 3 courses, $20
- Dinner (100+ restaurants): 3 courses, $35

Plus! The event is now spread over two weeks (with a one-day break on September 19):

- September 13-18, 2009
- September 20-25, 2009

Typical Restaurant Week menus include one appetizer, one entrée and one dessert, though RW favorites Amada and Zahav are known to offer several small plates for each course. So do your research, make your list of favorites and book those tables!

Note: Restaurant Week is immensely popular, so we recommend making your reservations ASAP. Or we’ll beat you to it.

*Tax, alcohol and gratuity not included.
