Front- and back-of-house workers are vital to the success of CCD Restaurant Week. Center City District strongly encourages diners to tip restaurant staff generously. Additionally, CCD has asked participating restaurants to nominate members of their staff for the chance to win a $500 “tip.” Five winners will be selected at random, with all nominees receiving a small gift as a token of appreciation. Winners will be announced at the end of Restaurant Week.

Restaurant Week diners will also be treated to discounted parking for $10 or less every night of the promotion, from 4:45 p.m. through 1 a.m. Partners include LAZ, BexPark by Brandywine and the Philadelphia Parking Authority. Go online here to find the closest garage to your dining destination and follow the instructions provided. Some locations allow the use of a digital parking voucher, which can be accessed directly on the website, while others require reservations made in advance.

"For more than two decades, Restaurant Week has been a cherished tradition that brings people together," CCD President and CEO Prema Katari Gupta said. "The ritual of gathering around a table to share a meal reminds us that Center City is where our community comes together. Our restaurant scene doesn't just feed people—it creates moments of togetherness and connection that remind us why downtown matters.

CCD’s is also offering their Dinner for a Year promotion again. Four people will each win a year’s worth of restaurant gift cards Center City dining destinations. Entries can be submitted at online here for a chance to win. No purchase necessary.

"Center City District Restaurant Week gives us the opportunity to step out on a cold winter night," Giavana Suraci Pruiti, Director of Promotions and Activations, said. "It takes the monotony out of the workweek by making any night a special occasion. Instead of rushing home and staying in, you can share a meal you didn’t have to make yourself with friends and family, all while supporting the local restaurants that make Center City’s dining scene the most diverse and delicious in the region."
