Old City Eats runs every Thursday through August 29th from 5:00pm to 8:00pm, with more than 40 participating restaurants offering dining deals!
The outdoor Old City Eats Block Party on June 20th will feature more than 20 Old City Eats participants. Stroll 2nd Street and enjoy live music as Old City showcases the wide variety of styles and flavors while highlighting some of the neighborhood’s best food and drinks! Enjoy Irish tunes at the Plough & the Stars, and DJ Decybals joined by dancers from AlgoRhythm Studio at Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar! Plus, Nauti Mermaid Crab House + Piano Bar will bring dueling pianos for some lively and interactive sing-a-longs. Old City Eats participants will also offer food and drink specials at their respective locations.
Old City Eats offerings are designed to appeal to neighborhood locals, to people looking to enjoy sips with their co-workers, and to tourists exploring America’s most historic square mile.
Old City Eats dining and drink options may be updated during the summer by participating restaurants. Please check Old City’s website, as well as with the participating restaurant, for any changes.
