University City Dining Days Returns July 17th – 27th

University City Dining Days is back! From July 17th – July 27th 2025, we’re partnering with local restaurants for Dining Days! Over 25 local eateries are offering special 3-course meals for lunch or dinner for $20, $30, or $40. This is a great chance to revisit old favorites or try something new! Dining Days is part of UCD’s Summer in University City programming, which includes Movies in Clark Park, pop-up performances, University City Summer Series concerts, and the Baltimore Avenue Dollar Stroll.

University City’s culinary scene is one of the most eclectic and robust in Philadelphia, with a mix of family-owned restaurants and hotspots run by renowned local and national chefs and restaurateurs. University City is also known for its wide mix of international establishments, with restaurants specializing in cuisines from India, Ethiopia, China, Korea, Vietnam, Japan, Jamaica, and more.

Dining Days offers neighbors a chance to sample food from their local restaurants at a fixed price, and draws visitors to University City’s ever-expanding dining scene during the typically slower summer months. Business at participating restaurants increases substantially during the promotion, so reservations are strongly encouraged. Popular restaurants such as White Dog, Han Dynasty University City, Louie Louie, and Dim Sum House are again participating, and we’re thrilled to welcome new and returning restaurants including Corio, New Delhi, Lulu Cafe, and Haraz Coffee House.
