It seems like every Philly neighborhood is having a restaurant week these days. Next up is East Passyunk Avenue Restaurant Week, which runs Sunday, Feb. 22, through Saturday, Feb. 28, though not all restaurants will participate all week. The special includes three-course prix-fixe meals for $15, $25 or $30.

Getting restaurant week fatigue? Fortunately for tired diners, EPA has become home to a few new restaurants already getting lots of buzz. Use this event as an excuse to get out of the house during these final winter weeks and see what all the fuss is about.
