PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Restaurant week has kicked off in Philadelphia, which means you can try three-course menus from more than 100 restaurants for a deal.
Forty-six restaurants opened up in Center City last year and 20 more are set to open soon. Events like Restaurant Week help these new businesses get off the ground and continue to help established ones stay afloat.
Along the chilly sidewalks of Center City, your island invitation awaits. Cultural cuisine prepared by Chef Anthony Logan transports you to Trinidad and Tobago.
“To forget you’re in America,” Logan said. “To give you that authentic island cuisine.”
It was Chef Logan’s dream to create this experience – opening Flambo in Gayborhood just over a year ago. But he knows not everyone knows this culinary getaway exists.
“We need the restaurant to get exposure,” Logan said.
One way Logan does that is by participating in Center City District Restaurant Week . Joining more than 100 chefs and restaurateurs offering three-course menus for as low as $45 — a deal for diners that helps put Flambo on the map.
