Reminder: Take Advantange of UC Dining Days
July 26, 2011 at 9:28 am
You've got just three nights left to take advantage of the price-fixed deals throughout West Philly, so get on it! If the many tantalizing menus are too much to choose from, perhaps these experiences from fellow Penn students will help you decide where to spend the rest of the week.
Tap House: "For $25, it was quite a deal. Since they have a largely new menu, there are some really good choices, and it was great to try a couple new things in one sitting. If you're having trouble deciding, the gnocchi was excellent and I would definitely recommend it." -Sam What he ate: Petit Crab Cakes, Potato Gnocchi, Strawberry Short Cheesecake ($25)
Dock Street: "I went on a date to Dock Street on Tuesday night and got the Dining Days Special. I was served a fresh field greens salad, my choice of pizza, and a small dessert. I had the Veneto pizza, which is creme fraiche, spinach, pesto, sundried tomatoes, and ricotta cheese. It was delicious and followed by awesome cannolis, which the waitress recommended. We had a great time, the food was awesome, and it was a great deal paired with the Summer Session brew. All around a great experience and highly recommended!" -Kelly
What she ate: Fresh Spring Mix, Veneto Pizza, Canoli ($15)
Biba: "What I ate was like sex in my mouth. The three course structure is great because normally I would never order that much food. It allows you to taste more things off the menu, making me more likely to come back and eat at least one of them. Even though it was a bit hectic, the service was fine." -Gemma
What she ate: Orange Marinated Octopus with Smoky Ceci Beans, Mixed Greens Salad with Black Mission Figs, Hazelnuts, Gorgonzola Dolce and Balsamic, Spanish Blue Cheese ($15)
