Foodies can rejoice as Center City District Restaurant Week makes its return for two full weeks in January.
More than 60 of Philadelphia's most popular restaurants will serve three-course dinners at $40 per person from Sunday, Jan. 15 through Saturday, Jan. 28. A handful of eateries will also offer $25 lunches. Prices do not include tax, tips and drinks. Guests can dine indoors, outdoors and at home by ordering takeout at select locations.

Reservations can be made online through OpenTable, though seats at some trendy spots are selling out fast. Patrons can purchase specialty cocktails made with Knob Creek Rye Whiskey and Suntory Haku Vodka at an additional cost. Imbibers can also make their own drinks at home with these signature cocktail recipes.
Discounted parking is available at Philadelphia Parking Authority, BexPark by Brandywine Realty Trust and Interpark garages from 4:45 p.m. until 1 a.m. for $9 or less. Guests can grab a digital parking voucher at the Center City District's website.
Patrons can also enter a contest for a chance to win dinner once a month for a year. Four grand prize winners will receive a dozen $50 gift cards to select Center City restaurants.
