Best Appetizer Deals of Center City Sips
Rosa Blanca Cafe at Dilworth Park, offering half-priced empanadas tonight.
Center City Sips kicks off today and, though the downtown-wide happy hour is certainly about the drinks ($3 beer, $4 wine and $5 cocktails), a wise person once said, “soak up all that booze with a bite to eat.”
As Center City Sips has half-priced appetizers across the board, you will never be without snack options, but you’ve got to be a little discerning to find the places doing more than opening a bag of frozen nuggets and dropping them in a fryer, or topping tortilla chips in plastic-y cheese.
To help narrow the choices down, we made a list of those who have chosen to skip the nacho fiasco in exchange of something a little more appealing.
