At the beginning of 2020, restaurants, food service and retail accounted for nearly 40,000 jobs in the greater Center City area, which equals 13% of all jobs downtown, according to the Center City District.
The coronavirus pandemic has greatly impacted restaurants and their employees. Restaurant Week 2020 is an opportunity to support the many people responsible for Philadelphia's food and beverage scene.
