University City Dining Days Returns July 16th – 26th

University City Dining Days is back! From July 16th – July 26th 2026, 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, Corio, Louie Louie, and Dim Sum House are again participating, and we’re thrilled to welcome new and returning restaurants and cafes including Shibam Coffee Co, Tataki Ramen & Sushi, Plant and People, and Bulletin Bar.
