Guerilla Restaurant Week


We just received an email from Kar Vivekananthan, co-owner of Adsum regarding a South of South restaurant and food week. 10 restaurants have banded together to participate in a restaurant week of their own featuring discounted menus.

The quickly formed restaurant week runs counter to the Center City District’s Restaurant Week. Restaurants south of South Street are not eligible to participate in the CCD’s backed week. The pop-up restaurant week runs through Friday, September 24th and some restaurants will offer wine and cocktail pairings.

The release and list of participating restaurants is after the jump.
