Make a night of it

Restaurant Week is not just about the reservation. Buskers who performed in Manayunk throughout the summer will return to different spots along Main Street during the evenings, bringing live music into the mix.

With restaurants, bars, shops and galleries all within walking distance, it is an easy excuse for dinner, drinks and a walk through the neighborhood. Reservations are encouraged.
