University City Dining Days July 17-27
10th Annual University City Dining Days Running July 17th to July 27th and Presented by Ardmore Toyota
University City Dining Days, presented by Ardmore Toyota, celebrates its tenth anniversary this summer with the return of its popular “3 courses, 3 prices” promotion. 26 of University City’s most popular dining destinations – including Jose Garces’ Distrito, Dock Street Brewery, and Han Dynasty – are now taking reservations for the 10th annual University City Dining Days, running Thursday, July 17 to Thursday, July 27.
For the first time this year, Dining Days will offer a sneak preview of some of the participating restaurants with a Taste of University City Dining Days event on Thursday, June 12th from 4-7pm at the Porch at 30th Street Station. Guests can enjoy 10 tastes for $10, including both “sips and sampling,” along with raffles and live music.
This year Dining Days welcomes Ardmore of Toyota as their presenting sponsor. Max Paul’s Central City Toyota & Ardmore Toyota have been part of the University City Community since 1969. “It is important for us to be part of an event that supports the local community and the surrounding businesses,” say Max and Brad Paul, co-owners of Ardmore Toyota. “We enjoy being heavily involved in the University City District and look forward to a continued relationship supporting 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, China, 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.
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.
