FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Celebrate Philadelphia's best restaurants with dinners starting at $45

PHILADELPHIA (December 4, 2025) - Philadelphia's world-class dining scene takes center stage this winter with the return of Center City District (CCD) Restaurant Week. From Sunday, January 18 through Saturday, January 31, dozens of restaurants across Center City will offer exclusive limited-time menus at a discount.

Three-course dinners will be available starting at $45 per person, with select locations offering a $60 premium option. For those heading back into the office, some restaurants will also offer two-course lunch menus for $20.

For an additional price, creative cocktail pairings can be added to complement CCD Restaurant Week menus with featured Suntory Global Spirits brands, Hornitos® Tequila and Knob Creek® Bourbon Whiskey.

Reservations are highly recommended and can be made directly with participating restaurants. Find the full list of participants and their contact information at ccdrestaurantweek.com. Please review published menus ahead of time. Gratuity, special dietary options and hours of operation vary by location.

Front- and back-of-house workers are vital to the success of CCD Restaurant Week. Center City District strongly encourages diners to tip restaurant staff generously. Additionally, CCD has asked participating restaurants to nominate members of their staff for the chance to win a $500 "tip." Five winners will be selected at random, with all nominees receiving a small gift as a token of appreciation. Winners will be announced at the conclusion of CCD Restaurant Week.

Exclusively for CCD Restaurant Week diners, discounted parking will be available for $10 or less every night of the promotion, starting at 4:45 p.m. through 1 a.m. Partners include LAZ, BexPark by Brandywine and the Philadelphia Parking Authority. To receive the discount, guests must visit ccdrestaurantweek.com to find the closest garage to their dining destination and follow the instructions provided. Some locations allow the use of a digital parking voucher, which can be accessed directly on the website, and others require reservations made in advance. "For more than two decades, Restaurant Week has been a cherished tradition that brings people together," said CCD President and CEO Prema Katari Gupta. "The ritual of gathering around a table to share a meal reminds us that Center City is where our community comes together. Our restaurant scene doesn't just feed people-it creates moments of togetherness and connection that remind us why downtown matters."

Dining out in Center City should be a year-round experience, and with CCD's annual Dinner for a Year promotion, it's easier than ever. Four lucky winners will each receive a year's worth of restaurant gift cards to some of Center City's top dining destinations. Entries can be submitted at ccdrestaurantweek.com for a chance to win. No purchase necessary.

"Center City District Restaurant Week gives us the opportunity to step out on a cold winter night," said Giavana Suraci Pruiti, Director of Promotions and Activations. "It takes the monotony out of the workweek by making any night a special occasion. Instead of rushing home and staying in, you can share a meal you didn't have to make yourself with friends and family, all while supporting the local restaurants that make Center City's dining scene the most diverse and delicious in the region."

CCD Restaurant Week brings life and energy to the city during typically slower winter months. Last January, weekends during Restaurant Week saw meaningful increases in visitors, including a 19% rise between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m., and a 9% increase across the full day compared to surrounding weeks. These numbers show how Restaurant Week not only supports local restaurants but also encourages people to return to the city and reconnect with its dining and business community
