Philadelphia Restaurant Week is an outstanding promotion, which has proven itself so popular, that it now consists of two weeks each September, rather than one.

The basics-

In 2010, Philadelphia Restaurant Week will be taking place between Sunday, September 12, to Friday, September 17 - and once more, between Sunday, September 19, to Friday, September 24. This promotion goes all the way back to . No fewer than 126 restaurants in Center City Philadelphia will be participating in it.

What's In It For You, As the Restaurant Patron

All 126 participating restaurants will offer three-course meals for $35 (excluding tax, gratuity, and alcohol, of course). In addition, 59 of the 126 will also be offering three-course lunches for $20.

Also, for ease of reading, we have bold text for the Philadelphia Restaurant Week participants, that we highly recommend.
