Extra-Happy Wednesdays
Today marks the beginning of my favorite center city summertime tradition, Center City Sips. From 6 June to 29 August, several bars, restaurants and lounges offer a special Wednesday happy hour from 5-7. Cocktails cost $4, wines $3, beers $2 and (get this!) $1 appetizers. Check out the Center City District web site (linked above) for more details, including a list of all participants and their offerings. Be wary, though, last year my friends and I found that several restaurants did not offer the appetizers listed and passed around substitutes such as cocktail wieners instead. I strongly recommend making it clear to your server or bartender that you’re there for the specials.
