29 RESTAURANTS TO PARTICIPATE IN UNIVERSITY CITY DINING FROM JULY 18-AUGUST 1

(Philadelphia, PA) – University City Dining Days returns this year from Thursday, July 18 to Thursday, August 1 with 29 restaurants participating in the “3 courses, 3 prices” promotion. University City’s most popular dining destinations – including Dock Street Brewery, Jose Garces’ Distrito, and newcomers Han Dynasty, Harvest and Doc Magrogan Oyster House - are now taking reservations for the 9th annual University City Dining Days.

University City is home to some of the most innovative and diverse dining options in the region. From exceptional craft beer bars to celebrity chef restaurants to cozy BYOBs, University City’s international dining scene features dishes from India, Ethiopia, Vietnam and beyond. The participating restaurants offer a pre-fixe three-course dinner special for $15, $25 or $35. The discounted price points make it affordable to dine at a new location every night of the event, leaving your curiosity – and taste buds – replete and your wallet full.

Dining Days drives traffic to University City restaurants during typically slow periods while introducing new customers to the neighborhood’s exciting and ever-growing dining scene. During Dining Days, the number of patrons increases by more than 50% at participating restaurants, so reservations are strongly encouraged. “We’re providing a service that no one else is providing,” add Jose Garces, owner of participating restaurants JG Domestic and Distrito.

Prices are for dinner only and do not include tax, gratuity or alcohol, and reservations should be made directly through the participating restaurant. Visit www.ucdiningdays.com for more information and for downloadable menus.

University City Dining Days is produced by University City District and sponsored by Around Philly, Ben FM, Campus Philly, Center City Proprietors Association, Philadelphia City Paper, Daily Pennsylvanian, Greater Philadelphia Hotel Association, Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation, Grid Magazine, Jewish Exponent, Metro, Open Table, Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau, Philadelphia Magazine, Philadelphia Weekly, Philebrity, Philly Fun Guide, Pinnacle Vodka, UC Review, UCNet, University of Pennsylvania, University of Pennsylvania Parking, Where Magazine, WMGK and Yelp.
