Center City Restaurant Week Round Up: Seven Favorite Spots

This it the list to use when you are dining in Philadelphia! After checking out the Restaurant participant list for this fall's Center City Restaurant Week I counted 30 of them that I had either a drink or a meal at in the past couple years. 

So, I rounded up some of my favorites and put them in this list of seven places you should try to get reservations at one of them this week-September 30 - October 5 and October 7-12. All feature a $35 three-course dinner and some also have three-course lunches for $20 per person. 

The photos below showcase what the restaurant really impressed me with- views, tasty dishes, unique cocktails from margaritas to bloody Marys and of course Dim Sum Donuts for dessert! Whatever it was that made the place stand out, I have photos of it so here they are. Enjoy!
