As I mentioned in my previous post, Philadelphia's Center City District is hosting a restaurant week where a three-course lunch cost $20 and a three-course dinner cost $35. This was a great chance for me to try out a new restaurant without having to break the bank. Food events like this are especially helpful to recent college grads who have yet to find employment...an example would be me. Anywho! I made a reservation to eat lunch at Max Brenner Chocolate by the Bald Man with my boyfriend and another couple.
Once you enter the restaurant, there was a chocolate shop on the right where they sold their chocolates, hug-mugs, and any chocolate related souvenir they could think of. I really liked how they designed the place because it felt as if we were in a chocolate factory. To me, it was a bit of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory mixed with Alice in Wonderland. You'll see what I mean about the Alice in Wonderland part later on in this post.

Guess what? Philadelphia Restaurant Week - Center City District
 |
| Philadelphia Restaurant Week - Center City District Flyer from Opentable.com |
Hello everyone! I apologize for the long and unexpected hiatus from this blog. Lots of things happened since the last time I updated. During the last year or so, I had to put my focus on my final 5 terms of college and yes, there wasn't a lot of break time. My senior year wasn't too bad, but I'm glad I'm finished with homework, exams, and projects, especially my senior project. Now that I have some time from job searching, I want to start updating this again with FOOD!
So what's this Philadelphia Restaurant Week?
Each year, restaurant week is held in Philadelphia at least once. It's an event that gives people a chance to try new restaurants and enjoy good food with some good company. The one I'm talking about will happen in the Center City district. There is a list of participating restaurants in that specific district that will be offering lunch and dinner deals for about two weeks. The lunch cost $20 whereas dinner is $35. Each deal includes an appetizer, entree, and dessert. The event will be held from September 15-20 & 22-27. Please note that there are no deals on either Saturdays. I highly suggest making a reservation either via phone or www.opentable.com to ensure a table for you and your party, since some of these restaurants are extremely popular and may be fully booked. Check out the list of participating restaurants here:

There's also a contest that they're holding where you can win a dinner for a year.
