Escape Your Dining Daze

This year, Center City District Restaurant Week will take place from September 13-18 and 20-25. During this time, restaurants across the city offer their three course prix-fixe menus for $20 at lunchtime and $35 in the evening. Some quick mental math (That's a lie. An abacus, an unsuspecting DRL loiterer, fingers, toes, and tears all came into play here) tells us that this should start about two days after the smell of on-campus dining has lodged itself permanently in the walls of both of your nostrils, and three days after you have exhausted every feasible Commons salad bar combination.

Reservations go quickly, and if you don't have them, you'll be forced to wait for an unwanted doggie bag at the Upper Quad gate, as cab after cab spits four well-dressed, food-coma stricken students onto the sidewalk before you. Luckily, it's not too late for you to hold on to your dignity (in this sense, at least). Call the restaurant of your choosing directly, or visit OpenTable.com to reserve a table for you and your 22 closest friends!
