University City District has scheduled the next Dining Days from Thursday, July 16 through Sunday, July 26. In the popular deal, select restaurants will serve prix-fixe, three-course meals for $15, $25 or $35. 

Since the students that populate the area are typically gone during the summer months, this is a time when West Philly restaurants bring in customers to tide them over. Six new restaurants will be joining the promotion for the first time this year: 48th Street Grille, Hai Street Kitchen & Company, St. Declan’s Well, Wahoo’s Tacos and More, William Street Common, and Zavino University City.

The list of participants includes a variety of options from craft beer bars like Dock Street Brewing Company to Ethiopian restaurants like Dahlak. Pattaya Thai Cuisine, Baby Blues BBQ, The Farmacy Rx, Landmark Americana and more will participate. Click here for the complete list.
